  3. After 10 minutes, agitate the swim trunks by gently rubbing them together with your hands in the water.
  4. Take out swim trunks from the bowl and rinse them off with clean cold water.

Follow the instructions on the bottle and make sure to test it on an inconspicuous area of the swim trunks first before using it.
