Quick answer
Hand wash your push up bikini top in cool water with a mild detergent, reshape it flat to dry away from direct sun, and store it flat or hanging to protect the padding and underwire.
Why special care matters for push up bikini tops
A push up bikini top is more than just swimwear – it has built-in padding, soft cushions, and sometimes underwires that need gentle handling. Machine washing or wringing can shift the padding, bend the wire, or damage the fabric’s print and elasticity.
The floral push up bikini top from Marlies Dekkers uses recycled fabric and digital printing, which saves water during production. To keep that print vibrant and the fabric strong, avoid harsh detergents and high heat.
How to care for your push up bikini top
- Rinse immediately after use: Rinse the top in cool, fresh water as soon as you take it off. Chlorine, salt, and sunscreen can break down elastic fibers and fade prints if left to dry on the fabric. Do not let the top sit wet in a bag – rinse first, even if you cannot wash fully right away.
- Hand wash with mild detergent: Fill a basin with cool water and a small amount of mild detergent (like one for delicates or wool). Submerge the top and gently swish it. Do not rub, scrub, or use bleach. Rinse thoroughly until no soap remains. Avoid fabric softener – it coats the fibers and reduces the fabric’s stretch and water resistance.
- Reshape and dry flat: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting. Lay the top flat on a clean, dry towel, reshape the cups and padding, and let it air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Never put it in a dryer or on a radiator. If the padding shifts during washing, reposition it gently through the cup opening while the top is still damp.
- Store flat or hang by the center: Once fully dry, store the top flat in a drawer or hang it by the center hook (if it has one). Do not fold the cups or hang by the straps, as this can stretch them out of shape. For long-term storage, place a layer of tissue paper inside each cup to help maintain the shape.
