Lycra Fabric Care
Polyamide with elastane for stretch and hold.
- Rinse straight after swimming. Cold water to remove salt, chlorine and sun cream, which break down the stretch over time.
- Wash cold on a gentle cycle. At 30 degrees in a wash bag, with a mild detergent and no fabric softener, inside out to protect the print.
- Dry in the shade. Lay flat or hang out of direct sun. Never tumble dry, which shortens the life of the stretch.
- No iron needed. Lycra does not need it, and heat damages the fibre.
- Reshape before drying. Gently pull the piece back into shape while it is wet, then lay it flat in the shade.
- Keep it away from dry cleaning. The solvents are hard on elastane, and a gentle wash at home is all it needs.
- Give it a day to rest. Let a swim piece dry fully between wears, so the elastane recovers its hold.
- When a seam opens, send it to us. Repair is complimentary for every HACOY piece, whatever its age. Start a repair and we bring it back.
