LATEX SAFETY & ALLERGY WARNING
Natural latex may cause an allergic reaction to some people. All the latex we use, unless otherwise specified, is leached to remove the substances that can cause this reaction. However, if you think you may have an allergy you should avoid contact with all latex products.
Natural latex is very flammable. Heat and open flames over 40°C such as candles and heaters should be strongly avoided.
LATEX CARE
Your garment will be washed in Vivishine and talc applied to the inside before shipping.Cleaning - Latex should be cleaned after being worn by rinsing inside and out with luke warm water. It should be dried flat or on a wooden or plastic hanger before storing in a plastic bag or tissue paper.
Storage - Your latex should be stored away from heat, humidity and sunlight so as not to affect the finish and shine.
Handling - Please be gentle when pulling your garment on and off as latex is fragile and too much stretching may result in a rip. Be extra careful to remove any jewellery before dressing as any edges such as rings or fingernails can cause a tear in the material.
Light coloured latex can be stained by darker latex and certain types of metal so be careful not to handle coins or wear piercings that are in contact with your garment otherwise a permanent yellow stain may occur. Perfumes and oil based lotions may also chemically affect the latex finish.
Shining - Latex can be polished to a high shine using silicon based sprays or wipes, we would recommend Vivishine.
