ION Thermo Top SS women

Washing: Rinse the Thermo Top SS immediately after use in cold, fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, and sweat. Then hand wash it or machine wash it on a cold cycle with mild detergent - avoid fabric softener, as it can break down the technical fibers.

Drying: Gently squeeze the top (do not twist it), and leave it to dry flat or hanging in the shade. Never use a tumble dryer, iron, or direct heat, as heat can damage the polypropylene and spandex fibers - the top dries quickly on its own, so there’s no need.

Storage: Make sure the top is completely dry before putting it away, then store it rolled or folded in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it wet in closed bags or in the car for long periods, as this can cause odors.
