Latex Rubber is a natural product and when
treated with care and respect Latex Rubber garments will have a long life.
Washing
Latex Rubber Garments should be washed in warm clean water
with no soap or detergents. Carefully wipe off excess water with a soft towel and lay flat
or hang to dry. Lightly dust with talc before putting away.
DO NOT place in a dryer and definitely DO
NOT iron or dry clean Latex Rubber garments.
Polishing
The natural gloss of Supatex® Latex Rubber
can be enhanced by light polishing using a silicone based polish.
We recommend "Scarred UltraSheen Polish"
Important Facts
There are some important facts about Latex Rubber that the
owner of Latex Rubber Garments should know about so he/she can take care of and get
maximum enjoyment from wearing Supatex® Latex Rubber.
- It is easier to put a tight latex garment on, if the inside
is first lightly dusted with talc. Remove ALL jewelry and be aware of your
fingernails, fingernails are the major cause of tearing latex rubber.
- Oils, greases and solvents destroy latex rubber, so DO NOT use any oil based lubricants or creams.
- The glossy surface of Supatex® Latex Rubber can be
permanently scratched if you attempt to polish it hard with a dry cloth, so take care that
your polishing does not dry out when polishing.
- Latex Rubber can discolor, and eventually perish, if exposed
to heat, sunlight and light with high Ultra Violet (UV) content. We recommend that, when
not being worn, latex rubber garments should be kept, lightly talced, in a black plastic
bag in a dry, dark closet. DO NOT
store in damp
conditions and DO NOT leave on or near heaters.
- Keep away from naked flame and fires, latex rubber burns
very fast.
- Latex Rubber permanently stains brown in contact with
copper, brass or bronze. Light colors can even stain brown when handled after handling
copper coins, so take care to keep dirty, sweaty fingers away from your latex rubber
garments.
