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.
