Afterwards, they come back to the dressing booth, slip off the robe, hang it on a hanger, dry off and get back into their clothes in a couple of minutes. Water simply beads up and rolls off into the pool. Very little water is carried out of the pool. Do not dry clean. Do not dry in a home or commercial dryer.
Heat can age the nylon and separate it from the special backing.
Avoid any bleach. Wash in cool water with delicate agitation and drip dry for best results. If heavy chlorine is used in the pool, always wash the robes. Most robes pull down with a powerful suction and produce an embarrassing cling when immersed. Polylon robes, because of the backing, eliminate most cling even when wet.
