[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg, it’s so gross to NOT wash after every use 🤮 This all confirms my habit of washing and hanging them up dry every day. My kids don’t get them visibly dirty, but it’s all the microbes I feel like get on the suits from the pool or whatever body of water they go swimming in. Especially now knowing that most people are wearing unwashed suits, I’m going to keep up with washing ours daily. [/quote]

After swimming in a lake or ocean, yes you wash suits. But chlorine kills all the microbes. It kills everything except a select few parasites like cryptosporidium, which you can only kill by washing in very very hot water, which isn’t recommended for swimsuits. Swimming in a chlorinated pool is like rinsing a swimsuit in a mild bleach solution. It disinfects almost everything.

You are washing microbes off swimsuits after being in a chlorinated pool, but they are already very dead. You are washing off minimal amounts of dirt, debris and dead skin cells, because you left most of that stuff in the pool. All swimsuit manufacturers recommend rinsing with cold water after swimming in a chlorinated pool and only washing with a mild detergent occasionally. [/quote]

Some people think washing machines are magical.[/quote]
