Things I Worry About On Vacation

First on my list is sharks.  Jellyfish stings is number 2.  The number 3 item on my list of things I worry about on vacation might surprise you.

Getting sand out of my bathing suit after a day on the beach is such an irritant.  And it's even more trouble to try to get the sand out of your suit.  I don't like putting it in the washing machine because sand will forever be in the washing machine.  So I found some tips for getting the sand out of your suit.

1. Rinse the suit in cold water. Fill a tub with cold water. Place your bathing suit in the basin and let it soak for 10 minutes. Gently remove the water from your swim wear. Rinsing the suit will remove any extra debris before you attempt the next step.

2. Lay the suit flat to dry on a towel.  Do not place the bathing suit in direct sunlight to dry. The sun could cause your swim wear to fade.

3. Shake the sand off the dry swimsuit. After the suit is completely dry attempt to shake the suit vigorously to remove the sand. Use a dry towel to rub the sand off the suit to remove any leftover sand on the garment. Do not use a brush or harsh surface to get rid of the sand.

4. Wash the suit in lukewarm soapy water. To remove any odors and dirt from your bathing suit, hand-washing is required.
