How to Clean and Care for Doll Bathers and Swimwear

Doll swimwear is exposed to harsh conditions like chlorine, salt water, sand, and damp storage, which can cause fading, stretching, and mildew. To keep bathers looking their best, rinse them in fresh water after every swim, hand wash them with a mild detergent every few wears, and always air dry them out of direct sunlight. Avoid leaving wet bathers in bags, remove sand before washing, and store them completely dry between seasons.
