Taking Proper Care Of Your Latex Products

WASHING: Latex garments should be washed in warm clean water with NO soap or detergents. Carefully wipe off excess water with a soft towel and leave to dry flat. Lightly dust with talc before putting away. DO NOT attempt to tumble dry and definitely

DO NOT iron or dry-clean rubber garments

IMPORTANT FACTS:

1. It is easier to put a tight Latex garment on if the inside is first lightly dusted with talc and we advise wearing light cotton gloves to avoid possible marking and fingernail damage.

2. Be extremely cautious with sharp objects that will ruin your garment, as they can permanently destroy Latex.

3. Oils, greases and solvents destroy rubber so do not use any oil-based lubricants or creams. The glossy surface of Latex rubber can be permanently scratched if you attempt to polish it hard with a dry cloth, so take care that your polishing cloth does not dry out when polishing.

4. Latex can discolor, and eventually perish, if exposed to hear, sunlight and light with a high UV content. We recommend that, when not being worn, Latex garments should be kept, lightly talced, in a black plastic bag in a dry cupboard or drawer. Do not store in damp conditions and do not leave on or near heaters.

5. Keep away from naked flame and fires, Latex rubber burns readily.

6. Latex permanently stains brown in contact with copper, brass or bronze. Latex in light colors can even stain brown when handled after handling copper coins, so take care to keep dirty, sweaty fingers away from your Latex clothes.
