FABRIC CARE

  • To ensure correct treatment please refer to individual care labels on each product.
  • Cold gentle machine wash garment separately or hand wash with luke warm water.
  • High amounts of chlorine will damage your swimwear. Neutralise any residual evidence of chlorine by rinsing after wear.
  • Use mild detergent.
  • Do not wring, soak or bleach.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Drip dry in shade.
  • Do not leave rolled up wet.
  • Rinse immediately after use.
  • Do not iron.
  • Do not dry clean.
  • Avoid contact with rough surfaces as this may cause pulling to swimwear.
  • We use the best dyes available, however we cannot guarantee complete colour fastness on some fashion colours.
  • Be careful not to wear light coloured clothing over wet swimwear. Some shades may bleed or transfer when wet.
  • We recommend that you do not wear your swimsuit in spa baths, as it could cause damage to your swimsuit.
  • Fake tanning products will mark and damage swimwear. ALULU recommends taking extra care when using these products and always ensure they are completely dry before they come in contact with your swimwear.
  • Some sunscreen lotions and tanning oils may mark or damage swimwear.
  • Some sunscreen lotions may mark or discolour white swimsuits. If your white swimsuit has been discoloured by a sunscreen product, we recommend soaking in baking soda and water (3 litres of water with 1/4 cup of baking soda dissolved) for 2-3 hours before removing it. Then rinse well and air dry. Do not soak it in bleach as it will weaken the fibres of the suit, which can then make it easier for things like sunscreen residue and your body's natural oils/sweat to penetrate your swimmers and cause more discolouration. 
  • We recommend that you rinse immediately after use.
