Swimming Pool Problems

Pool Problem: With the amount of time that kids spend in their swimsuits during the Summer (a study by Lands' End found that 75 percent of kids wear their suits three or more days per week), it's no wonder that they're susceptible to snags and fast fading.

Smart Solution: The cement surface that surrounds most pools is prime for snagging. If your kids are sitting by the side of the pool, try to get a towel under their little bums. According to VIP Cleaners, you should always hand-wash suits with mild detergent, and be sure to rinse thoroughly. To dry, gently roll the suit in a towel to remove excess water, then allow it to air dry (away from the sun).
