LATEX CARE

WHEN YOUR LATEX ARRIVES:

• LATEX ARRIVES COVERED IN TALCUM POWDER TO PREVENT STICKING AND CREASING
• CREASES WILL DISAPPEAR IN 1-2 DAYS ONCE HUNG UP.
• TO REMOVE THE POWDER WIPE IT OFF WITH A DAMP CLOTH AFTER WEARING OR FOLLOW THE WASHING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

HOW TO WASH:

• WASH AFTER EVERY WEAR TO PREVENT DAMAGE FROM DIRT, SWEAT, AND OILS.
• FILL A PLASTIC CONTAINER, SINK, OR TUB WITH LUKEWARM WATER AND A FEW DROPS OF NEUTRAL DISH SOAP.
• SOAK THE LATEX FOR 5 MINUTES, GENTLY SWISHING IT.
• RINSE WITH CLEAN, LUKEWARM WATER.
• HANG TO DRY ON A PLASTIC OR WOODEN HANGER (AVOID METAL HANGERS).
• TURN INSIDE OUT TO DRY THE OTHER SIDE ONCE ONE SIDE IS DRY.

NOTE: SHEER LATEX MAY LOOK MILKY IF SOAKED TOO LONG - THIS WILL DISAPPEAR WHEN FULLY DRY.

HOW TO STORE:

• AFTER CLEANING AND DRYING, LATEX MAY STICK TOGETHER - THIS IS NORMAL.
• IF WEARING SOON APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF LATEX POLISH FOR SHINE.
• IF STORING FOR LATER DUST IT WITH TALCUM POWDER.
• HANG ON A PLASTIC OR WOODEN HANGER UNDER A GARMENT BAG.
• STORE IN A COOL, DARK PLACE AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT OR STORE IN A ZIPLOCK BAG IN A DRAWER.

TIPS

• AVOID STORING DIFFERENT COLORS TOGETHER - DARKER COLORS CAN STAIN LIGHTER ONES.
• KEEP LATEX AWAY FROM FABRIC WITH METAL ACCESSORIES TO AVOID STAINING.

HOW TO POLISH:

• USE A DESIGNATED LATEX POLISH LIKE BEGLOSS PERFECT SHINE, MADAM LATEX OR VIVISHINE.
• ALTERNATIVELY, A SILICONE-BASED LUBE WORKS TOO.
• AVOID USING WATER-BASED LUBES, COCONUT OIL, LOTIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN WEAKEN LATEX.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• LATEX REQUIRES CARE BUT CAN LAST LONG WITH PROPER TREATMENT.
• LIGHTER COLORS ARE PRONE TO STAINING
• CONSIDER STARTING WITH BLACK OR DARKER SHADES IF NEW TO LATEX.
• KEEP LATEX AWAY FROM:
• HOUSEHOLD OILS, CLEANING PRODUCTS, SOLVENTS.
• COPPER OR NICKEL-BASED METALS (REMOVE JEWELRY BEFORE WEARING).
• NICOTINE (WASH HANDS AFTER SMOKING).
• PERFUME, DEODORANT, BODY OILS, AND LOTIONS (APPLY WELL BEFORE WEARING; DON'T SPRAY DIRECTLY ON LATEX).
