CARE OF LATEX GARMENTS

• Do not leave latex clothing exposed to direct sunlight or artificial light
• Do not leave latex clothes on or near heaters
• Do not leave latex clothes in damp or moist conditions
• Do not allow perfume to get in contact with the garment
• Do not allow hairspray to get in contact with the garment
• Do not allow contact with copper or metals containing copper, as this will stain light colors
• Be sure to watch for long fingernails or sharp jewelry when dressing as these can rip latex rubber very easily

DRESSING

• When you are ready to wear your latex garment, use a light coat of a silicone based lubricant to coat the inside of the garment. **Do Not Use Oil Based Lubricants** This Will Harm Your Garment **
• After you put your latex outfit on, use a silicone based lubricant to shine it. You can use your hand or a shop towel to apply it. Avoid over shining appliqué detail too much. This will cause the appliqué to release.

• Do not rub or allow any contact with oil as it destroys latex.
• Be careful of pulling on latex, as it can tear or leave permanent impressions.
• Try to avoid wearing metal object while in your garment. Certain metals will stain the latex!
• Avoid sharp objects! Be extra careful if you have long nails and remove all jewelry when putting on or taking off your garment. 

• Do not allow light colors to come into contact with copper-based items (money, jewelry- some jewelry appears silver but contains a copper core- etc) because it will stain very badly. Take care especially if you have been handling such items as even your hands may stain the rubber.

CLEANING

• Hand wash garment in warm water with mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and hang up on a plastic hanger to dry. After the outside dries, turn it inside out to finish drying the garment.

STORING

• When garment is completely dry, powder the inside with talc powder and store in a plastic bag, on a plastic hanger, in a cool dry place. Keep out of reach from the sun! ATTENTION!! : Surface will deteriorate if exposed to sunlight or if let to dry by not polishing.

CLEANING

As Matter + Form products are made out of reused bicycle inner tubes, the best product to clean the tubes and shine them up with is "Armor All" (or the equivalent) and a rag. If the product has art on it, use a damp rag with water for that part.

STORAGE

Direct sunlight will not hurt the product, but will somewhat decrease it's longevity. Store properly.
