For a rashguard made of **80% Nylon and 20% Spandex**, it's important to follow these care instructions to maintain the fabric's durability, elasticity, and color:

1. Washing
- Hand Wash: Preferably wash the rashguard by hand in **cold water**. This helps to preserve the elasticity of the spandex and prevents the nylon from breaking down over time.
- Machine Wash: If using a machine, wash on a **gentle cycle with cold water**. Turn the rashguard inside out to protect any prints or designs and to reduce friction.
- Use Mild Detergent: Choose a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softeners. Harsh chemicals can degrade both nylon and spandex over time.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach, as it can damage both the fabric and colors.

2. Drying
- Air Dry: Always lay flat to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid hanging, as this may cause the fabric to stretch. Never dry in direct sunlight as UV rays can fade colors and weaken the fibers.
- Avoid the Dryer: Do not tumble dry. Heat from a dryer can cause spandex to lose its elasticity and damage the fabric over time.

3. Ironing
- Do Not Iron: Nylon and spandex are sensitive to heat, so avoid ironing altogether as it can melt the fabric.

4. Storage
- Store Dry: Ensure the rashguard is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Fold Instead of Hanging: Fold the rashguard rather than hanging it to avoid stretching the spandex.

5. Additional Tips
- Rinse After Use: After exposure to chlorine, saltwater, or sweat, rinse the rashguard in cold water as soon as possible to remove chemicals that may degrade the fabric.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be cautious of contact with rough surfaces (like Velcro or concrete) that can snag or abrade the fabric.

By following these care tips, you’ll help extend the lifespan of your rashguard and keep it looking and performing like new.
