| Latex Care |
| |
| With proper care, latex garments
can last you many years. But latex is not like other materials and does need
some special looking after. Here are a few tips for you on how to keep your
latex looking its best. |
 |
|
 |
- When putting latex on, rub baby or talcum powder on your
body and the inside of the garment.
- Keep latex out of sunlight and always dry it out in the
shade.
- Handwash latex in mild soapy water and hang inside out to
dry (or towel dry). Powder lightly before storing to prevent garment sticking
to itself.
- Whatever you do, please do not iron your latex!!!
- Do not rub or allow any contact with oil (clean hands are
always a good idea!!) as it destroys latex.
- Polish latex regularly with latex polish (which we can
supply!)
- Clean latex within a couple of days of wearing it
(leaving it dirty with sweat and body oils weakens it)
- Store lighter colours so they are not in direct contact
with any darker pieces (the darker colour can discolour the lighter ones if
left together even for a short time.
- Do not allow light colours to come into contact with
copper-based items (money, jewellery- some jewellery appears silver but
contains a copper core- etc) because it will stain very badly. Take care
especially if you have been handling such items as even your hands may stain
the rubber.
