Although swimming is a great way to exercise, the chemicals in the pool cause problems for some people. One common problem is yellow chlorine stains. These stains are even more noticeable on a white bathing suit. But with correct clothing care, you can clean the bathing suit, remove the stains and get it looking like new.

Step 2
Dab the vinegar onto the yellow stains on the bathing suit. Saturate the stains completely. Vinegar has ascetic acid that dissolves the stains.
Step 3
Fill a sink with cold water to rinse out the bathing suit.
Step 4
Repeat Steps 1 to 3 if yellow stains are still noticeable.
Step 5
Wash the bathing suit in cold water with mild laundry detergent. Don't use any bleach to wash the garment. Rinse the bathing suit with cold water.
Step 6
Let your white bathing suit air-dry as a clothes dryer is too hot for bathing suit fabrics.
Tip
Rinse your white bathing suit in cold water after taking it off to reduce the chances of yellow chlorine stains.
