Latex rubber is a natural material that requires some basic care. If you follow the guidelines below, your latex rubber garment will provide you with years of enjoyment.

GENERAL CARE

Oils, greases and solvents destroy latex rubber. Keep the latex garment away from oils, hand creams, polishes and leather goods which contain oils.

Avoid prolonged exposure to excess heat, sunlight and humidity, which can discolour and degrade latex. Silicone lubricants can leach into and unstick seams if not washed off after each use.

Coloured latex permanently stains brown when it comes in contact with copper, brass, or bronze, this includes handling copper coins.

Avoid sharp objects, especially long fingernails.

To make rubber garments easy to put on, first lightly powder the inside with talcum powder, or apply a personal water based lubricant and be careful putting on the garment
Some people wear cotton gloves while pulling on latex garments.

Be careful around candles, cigarettes, or other open flames. Latex is flammable!
