Rubber Care & Advice Care of your Latex Garments
1) Handwash only, Use lukewarm water with mild washing-up liquid detergent only.
2) After washing for about 5 minutes, rinse, and hang up to drip dry on a plastic or wooden
hanger, AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH METALS WHEN WET.
3) Once dry, separate any layers which are stuck together, and sprinkle talcum powder/baby
powder over the garment. This prevents the surfaces sticking together.
4) Once dry and talced, store on a garment hanger inside a garment bag, ideally of black
polythene plastic, in a dark, cold wardrobe.
5) KEEP AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT, especially direct sunlight. Long term exposure to
ultraviolet light causes latex to break down chemically. Causing loss of shiny surface.
6) Do not bring into contact with copper based metals or nickel based metals. These will cause
a brown stain on the paler colours and also start a chemical breakdown on all colours of
rubber, causing loss of shiny surface. Copper is found in brass and in some jewellery, such
as body jewellery, as well as in bronzing agent make ups, and of course in money coins.
7) DO NOT PUT IN A WASHING MACHINE.
8) DO NOT USE SOAP POWDER.
9) DO NOT DRY CLEAN.
10) Do not expose to oils. To make the rubber shiny use silicon spray, and use silicon based
lubricants. ALWAYS check that the Silcon Spray is suitable for the latex - test a small
area, and used approved latex silicon spray!
NOTE: IF IN DOUBT - then PLEASE ask!
