CARING FOR LATEX

When latex is made, it is generally dull and lifeless. To bring it to life and make it shine, please follow these simple instructions.

BEFORE WEARING IT
It is advisable to wash the garment first. Use only warm, soapy water. Then rise thoroughly and carefully. Dry without stressing any of the garment. Turn inside-out after a short period. This process can be completed by drying with a gentle heat, i.e. in a tumble-dryer at the lowest setting (40). Repeated washing and drying will help to shine the garment further.

EXTRA SHINING
After drying thoroughly, the material can be made to shine further with the application of a silicone spray used sparingly. We sell Latex Wear Shiner Spray (code 1729) for £4.95 which is designed to shine latex. It must then be polished with a soft dry cloth.

PUTTING ON
Before putting the garment on, ensure that the inside of the garment is well sprinkled with talcum powder. Take great care not to stress small areas of the garment. Pull on gently, taking care that fingernails, rings, etc. do not snag the material.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR LATEX
Do not expose it to sunlight for too long as ultra-violet light causes rapid deterioration in latex. Store in a dark, closed drawer.

STRAPS
If your garment has straps which occasionally may have to be reglued, the manufacturers recommend COPYDEX.
