Since I've been out of the water, pretty much, for the last couple weeks and I'll be starting back up Monday I thought this would be a good time to throw my suit in the washer. Has anyone ever read the tag on their suit? I laughed when I read it "wash after every use in cold water." Come on now! Who's going to do that? I'm pretty sure I've owned suits that never saw the inside of a washing machine.
Does anyone actually wash their suits regularly? Maybe I'm just gross :D

I think they are made with sodium thiosulfate, a substance that broke chemical chlorine link. It can be found at pet stores, (used to dechlorinate water for aquariums) or school labs.
Edit: Here's the balance equation :
2 Na2S2O3 (5 H2O) + Cl2 = 2 NaCl + Na2S4O6 = salt + sodium dithionate
I think it can also be find at pool chemical suppliers.
