Latex Care Guide (Condensed)
1. Clean Right After Wearing
- Hand-wash inside out in cold/lukewarm water (≤30°C / 86°F)
- Use mild soap, baby wash, or latex-specific cleaner only
- Never: machine wash, hot water, detergent, dish soap, or bleach
2. Dry Naturally
- Air dry flat on a towel or on a hanger, in a cool, ventilated area
- Never: direct sunlight, dryers, heaters, or hair dryers (causes yellowing/brittleness)
- Dry completely for 12–24 hours before storing
3. Polish for Shine
- Use a silicone-based latex shiner (e.g., Vivishine, BeGloss)
- Spray on a soft cloth → wipe evenly → buff with a dry cloth after ~5 minutes
- Polish about once a week if worn 1–2×/week; light polish before storing
4. Store Properly
- After fully dry, dust with talcum powder, cornstarch, or latex dressing powder to prevent sticking
- Roll gently and keep in a dark, light-blocking bag, or hang in a cool wardrobe
- Best conditions: 15–25°C (59–77°F), away from light, heat, and humidity
- Never: place heavy objects on top or seal in airtight plastic bags (risk of mildew)
5. Dressing Tips
- Apply a little powder or silicone dressing spray before wearing for easy slip-on
- Avoid: oil-based lubricants, perfume, lotion, nail polish (damage latex)
- Small tears: repair with latex glue and patches
- Note: dark colors last longer; light/pink shades need more frequent polishing
