Washing:
Beach shorts need special care after exposure to sun, sweat, sunscreen stains, chlorine, and sand. Always rinse your shorts after each wearing. When it's time to wash the shorts, use cold water-hot water can fade colours and damage elasticity and opt to hand wash over using a washing machine. Never use chlorine bleach to whiten or remove stains on your beach shorts.
Drying:
Spread your shorts flat to dry in a spot out of direct sunlight.
Storing:
Your beach shorts should be stored flat. Be sure the fabric is completely dry; any moisture may result in mildew growth. If you're putting it away for the season, avoid plastic bags and store the suit in a breathable fabric garment bag.
