Quick answer
Hand wash your wet look bodysuit in cool water with mild soap, then hang it to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Never wring, bleach, or machine wash the fabric.
Why wet look material needs special care
Wet look fabric is a shiny, patent-like material that mimics latex without the maintenance. It's stretchy and figure-hugging, but heat and rough handling can dull the finish or damage the elasticity. Treating it gently keeps the sheen and fit intact.
Frequently asked questions
Can I machine wash a wet look bodysuit?
No. Machine washing can dull the shiny finish and stretch out the fabric. Always hand wash in cool water with a mild, non-bleach detergent.
How do I dry my bodysuit without damaging it?
Lay it flat or hang it to dry away from direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers. Heat can cause the material to lose its sheen or become sticky. Never wring the fabric—gently press out excess water with a towel.
Can I use fabric softener or bleach?
Avoid both. Bleach can discolor the material and fabric softener can leave a residue that reduces the shine. Stick to a mild soap or a small amount of gentle laundry liquid.
How should I store my wet look bodysuit?
Fold it loosely or hang it on a padded hanger in a cool, dark closet. Avoid storing it in plastic bags or with zippers that could snag the surface. Keep it away from other clothing with metal embellishments to prevent snags.
What if the bodysuit gets wrinkled?
Do not iron directly. Hang it in a steamy bathroom or use a handheld steamer on the lowest setting, keeping the steamer at least 6 inches away from the fabric.
