• Before polishing or wearing, gently wash your new piece in warm water with a delicate soap to remove the manufacturers talc and any rogue tailoring marks or construction tape residue from the garment construction process.
• Take care to avoid contact with all sharp objects. Take particular care when putting on your garment, removing body jewellery and exercising caution with long nails.
• Use talcum powder or a specialist latex dressing lubricant to help you slip into your garment more easily.
• Polish your latex with a silicone-based polish using a soft lint free cloth.
• Laundry time? Wash your latex in luke-warm water with a little of our multi-purpose blue polish as a detergent to work away any dirt. Rinse off your items well. Hang your garment to drain excess water and then pat dry with a soft towel.
• Store your garment in a dark place – Exposure to UV light will damage your latex. Do not hang on metal hangers and do not fold.
• Ensure white and coloured items are not stored next to other coloured rubbers or metal. Contact with metal (such as copper and coins) may cause permanent stains.
