ION Rashguard Lizz Short Sleeve Women

Washing: Rinse the rashguard in cold fresh water immediately after use - especially after saltwater or chlorine - and wash it at max. 30 °C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach, fabric softener and dry cleaning, as they can break down the elastane and reduce stretch.

Drying: Leave the rashguard to air-dry flat or on a hanger in the shade. Do not tumble dry, and avoid direct sunlight and radiator heat, as heat can damage the material and cause the colors to fade.

Storage: Make sure the rashguard is completely dry before putting it away, and store it folded or rolled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps it retain its fit, stretch and sun protection for as long as possible.

Tips: Avoid contact with rough surfaces, and rinse the top after days with lots of sunscreen residue, as this can cause discoloration. Do not wring the rashguard hard - gently press the water out instead.
