Nasty sweat stains on your one-piece swimsuit can quickly ruin your summer vibe, but don't worry because you can keep it looking brand new. Here are some easy tips to help you remove those tough sweat stains from your swimsuit.

Pre-Treat with a Stain Remover

Many store-bought stain removers are resistant to chlorine, so it's safe to use them on your swimsuit. Choose a product that's specifically designed for removing sweat stains. Apply stain remover to the affected area and let it sit for recommended time. Then, take a soft cloth or sponge and gently rub stain until it is removed.

Using Vinegar & Baking Soda

If you don't have a store-bought stain remover, combination of vinegar and baking soda works wonders on sweat stains. Simply mix a few tablespoons of vinegar with a few tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl and stir until you get a thick paste. Apply the paste onto the stained area and scrub lightly with a soft cloth. Rinse with cold water and let the suit air dry.

Rinse & Soak

If none of the above methods work, you can try the old tried and true method of rinsing and soaking. Fill a sink or bucket with cold water and add a few drops of dish soap. Submerge the swimsuit into the solution and let it soak for about 20 minutes. Once the time is up, rinse the suit off with cold water and let it air dry.

Storing Your Swimsuit

Finally, it's important to store your swimsuit correctly after each wear to reduce chance of sweat stains. Make sure to rinse your suit in cold water after every use and hang it up to dry in a cool, dark place. Always fold and store the suit when it's completely dry to prevent further staining.

With these tips, you can easily remove sweat stains from your one-piece swimsuit and keep it looking brand new.
