how do I care for my women's minnow suits? 

our women's styles are designed with a luxurious swim fabric called carvico. the high-quality fabric meets rigorous international testing. however, prolonged exposure to heat or chlorine levels higher than the standard (often hot tubs or saunas) may cause fading.

for sand removal

take quick action! 

a brisk shake can help with the removal of any surface sand. shake off your minnow suit outside, then, turn your suit inside out and shake again. 

rinse for 10 minutes

place your minnow suit in cool water for ten minutes. target areas of highly accumulated sand and rinse the sand out with your hands as much as possible. 

allow your suit to dry completely

take a clean dry towel and gently press your suit to remove excess water. you can also gently roll your suit into the clean towel to help squeeze out additional water. lay your suit flat to dry. 

give it another shake! 

once your suit is completely dry, take it outside for another round of shaking. moisture left in your suit can allow for sand to stick to fabric. the remaining sand should easily come off with a few vigorous shakes.
