Latex & RUBBER Care

LATEX

PRE WEAR

• All new latex items will arrive dusted in talcum powder to protect them from damage. This will wash off with water.

• When dressing in latex it is best to use silicone lubricant or talcum/baby powder as an outgoing alternative. We have our own dressing aid available for purchase here.

• Dress gently without scratching or pulling with your nails as this could result in tears and damage.

POST WEAR

• After wear, latex should be hand washed gently in warm soapy water. Most dishwashing liquids are suitable.

• Lay the garment on a towel to dry and wipe off any water inside and out and allow to dry completely.

STORAGE

• Store latex in a dark wardrobe, preferably in garment bags.

• Never store different colours of latex next to each other or with metals as this may cause stains, especially in lighter colours.

• If staining does occur and depending on how badly an item is stained, they do tend to fade away after a few washes.

RUBBER

CLEANING RUBBER

• Wet a cloth with warm soapy water and begin rubbing, working the cloth over the rubber. Rinse off with warm water, then dry off with a towel.

• Don’t leave/submerge the rubber in water as this can damage the metal hardware.
