Two of the most common Arizona summer wardrobe killers — and exactly how to rescue your favorite shirts, swimsuits and cover-ups before the damage sets in.
If you've lived in the East Valley for a summer, you know the routine: pool, sunscreen, snack, repeat. And your clothes pay the price.
Sunscreen: rinse, then enzyme
Modern sunscreens contain oils and avobenzone, which leaves orange or rust-colored stains as it oxidizes. Rinse in cold water first, then treat with a gentle enzyme cleaner — never bleach on colors. Bring it in if it's already discolored; we have professional solvents that can lift it.
Chlorine: don't wait to rinse
Chlorine breaks down elastic and dye faster than anything else in your closet. Rinse swimsuits, cover-ups and pool towels in cool, clean water within an hour of getting home — even a quick rinse extends their life by months.
When in doubt, bring it in
Especially for higher-end swimwear, cover-ups and resort wear, professional cleaning is what keeps them looking new. Our free pickup is the easiest way — drop in your schedule, we grab the bag from your doorstep.
