Polishing: To
bring out the deep glossy shine of latex, first wipe off any powder from
the outside with a soft, damp cloth. Using a silicone based polish, spray
the outside of the garment liberally and wipe gently with a soft cloth.
A second coat applied with the hands will bring up an even deeper shine.
Important
Facts: Listed below are some important facts
that the wearer of a latex garment should know to ensure the maximum
quality of life of the garment.
- It is easier to put on a tight
garment if the inside is lightly dusted with cornstarch. Note: do
NOT use baby powder, or other powders, as they turn into a paste
when moistened!
- Oils,
grease, abrasives and solvents DESTROY latex.
- Keep away from naked flame and
intense heat.
- Latex tears easily; remove ANY
jewelry before putting on the garment.
- Polishing latex IS necessary
to prevent cracking.
- Latex
garments should be washed by hand after each use in lukewarm water
with no soap and hung to dry. When completely dry, lightly powder
the inside; polish the outside and hang in a dark, dry place.
- Storage near dyed garments may
stain latex.
- Latex may discolor, and eventually
perish, if exposed to heat, sunlight and light with a high UV content.
- Latex permanently stains when
in contact with copper, brass or bronze.
- Water-based lubricants are not
harmful to latex.
