Swimwear Care

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your BILEYA COUTURE swimwear:

Rinse your swimwear in cold fresh water after every wear and hand wash gently using a mild detergent to help preserve its beauty and longevity. Whenever possible, avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine, sunscreen and direct sunlight, as these may affect the fabric and color over time.

To maintain the quality of your piece, do not machine wash, tumble dry or use harsh chemicals. Delicate fabrics and handcrafted details require gentle care to retain their shape and elegance.

Lay flat to dry away from direct heat and sunlight, and always store your swimwear clean and completely dry. Proper care will help preserve its shape, elasticity and refined appearance season after season.

FAQs Swimwear Care

Can I machine wash my BILEYA COUTURE swimwear?

No. To preserve the fabrics and artisanal detailing, hand washing only is recommended. Gently rinse in cold fresh water using a delicate detergent, then lay flat on a clean towel to dry naturally in the shade.
How many times can I wear my swimwear before washing?

Your swimwear should be rinsed after every wear and gently hand washed after each full day of use.
Why does my light-coloured swimwear have yellow or brown stains?

Light-coloured swimwear may develop yellow or brown discolouration when exposed to sunscreen, tanning oils, body products, chlorine, minerals in water, or prolonged sun exposure. These substances can react with fabrics over time, particularly on white and light shades. To help prevent discolouration, we recommend allowing skincare products to fully absorb before wearing your swimwear, rinsing thoroughly after each use, and avoiding prolonged contact with chlorinated water or tanning products.
Can chlorine damage my swimwear?

Extended exposure may gradually affect elasticity and colour richness. Immediate rinsing is essential.
Is seawater harmful to the fabric?

Saltwater should always be rinsed away after wear to prevent fiber stress.
Can sunscreen stain swimwear?

Certain sunscreens and oils may leave marks. Allow products to absorb fully before wearing.
Can rough surfaces damage my swimwear?

Yes. Rough surfaces such as rocks, pool edges, wooden decking, textured lounge chairs, and wicker furniture may cause snagging, abrasion, or damage to delicate swimwear fabrics. To preserve the beauty and longevity of your piece, we recommend sitting on a towel whenever possible and avoiding direct contact with abrasive surfaces.
How should I pack my swimwear while travelling?

Lay your swimwear flat inside a soft protective pouch and avoid placing heavy items on top.
