How To Get The Mildew Smell Out Of Last Year's Swimsuit

The one thing we want to ensure when we're going to put on our swimsuits is that there is no mildew or mold on it at all. Sometimes, bathing suits can build up mildew without us even realizing it, because it may blend in with the suit. The first thing you want to do is ensure you wipe or brush all that mildew off. Mildew usually appears as white or black (via Hunker). 

Next, you want to use vinegar to soak out that nasty mildew smell. Vinegar is well known to help combat serious odors, so it's the perfect solution for getting that stench out. You can combine vinegar, white or apple cider, with water in a bowl or your bathtub and soak the suit in there for about an hour, according to 2 Bees in a Pod.

After you're done soaking, you're going to want to put it in the laundry like you normally would to wash it, while it's still wet and vinegar soaked. Use your regular detergent to add that laundry smell, too. 

When you're done washing it, hang dry it in a place that has good ventilation and air. The main reason the mildew comes is because most times, wet swimsuits don't get good ventilation and oxygen to dry, per Get Smell Out.

Once your swimsuit is dry, it should be smelling brand new again and all ready for that pool!
