CARE OF LATEXPRODUCTS

If you want to enjoy your latex clothes in their original beauty for years you should follow these instructions:

STORAGE:
The clean and dry garments should be talced or be polished with suitable silicon oil. This prevents clinging when on the hanger and makes them easier to put on.
Latex garments should be kept in a dark place.
Please note that latex clothes should not come in contact with other textiles, metal or other colored latex pieces for this could lead to spots or ugly discoloration. This is especially advisable for light colors.

SUN:
Do not expose latex clothes to direct sunlight for longer than is absolutely necessary. The UV-rays of sunlight harm the material. Therefore storage in a dark place is very important.

WASHING:
Latex garments should be washed immediately after wearing because fat and sweat can harm the material and may lead to signs of wear within a short time. It is best to rinse the garments in lukewarm water in the washbasin or in the bathtub with a little mild shampoo (no washing powder, washing-up liquid or other detergent!!). If you add a spoonful of Rubbersilk silicon oil to the water you receive an even shine on the latex surface that prevents clinging.
Do not use talcum powder on garments that have been treated with silicon oil, because the oil mixes with the talcum and the surface becomes streaky, which is not a pleasant sight. If this happens still it is no problem. Simply rinse the garments again.

GETTING DRESSED:
Never use an oil (baby oil) or oil-based product.
Long fingernails can puncture latex clothes. So take care not to use them too much and not to bore them into the material when you put on your clothes.
The most simple-to-use dressing aid is Rubbersilk silicon oil. It is fat-free and especially developed for use with latex.
It has a pleasant side effect, too: It soothes the skin and makes it supple and soft. This very oil is being used in the cosmetic industry. It is odorless, tasteless, dermatologically tested and perfectly suitable for lubrification and massage as well as slippery latex play.
You should prefer silicon oil especially for transparent products because the transparency shows to advantage only with this oil. At our photo shootings we only use silicon oil to achieve best results. A few drops are sufficient for a big surface.
You can order this silicon oil at our online shop or by order form.

GLOSSY SHINE:
To make your clothes shine brilliantly you need to apply special sprays, which are usually very expensive. So we have decided to offer low-price but high quality care products and dressing aids ourselves.
AMOR ALL is a pump spray for shine and care which we have been using on our latex clothes collection ourselves for 10 years now.


DISCOLORATION:
Latex clothes should not come in contact with metal pieces. Especially precious metals like gold, copper or bronze produce ugly stains that cannot be removed.
With transparent or light-colored clothes (white, jade green, pink etc.) it is possible that other garments release color pigments that produce ugly stains on your latex piece.
Besides you should be careful with cosmetic products and perfume and not bring them in contact with the clothes.
Theater make-up is harmful in any case. It contains a lot of fat substances that discolor the latex.

UNDERNEATH YOUR CASUAL WEAR:
It can be very exciting to wear latex garments beneath your usual clothes. But beware that the material gets dull where it rubs on the textiles; on these spots it cannot be made shiny anymore. Through this wear and tear the clothes become prone to expansion overload if worn quite often. So if you intend to wear latex clothes underneath your usual clothes everyday please choose a thicker material.

SYNTHETIC MATERIAL:
Some synthetic materials contain softing agents that can damage latex severely. Silicon or other plastic toys (dildos and the like) should not have contact with latex for a long time. Do not leave such things on latex clothes over night. The material grows dimples on this spot and becomes brittle after some time.

DURATION OF LIFE:
If you stick to the simple rules - not too much sunlight, dark storage, no fat or oil, rinsing after wearing - you will enjoy your latex clothes for many years. With appropriate care you can take a durability of about 10 years for an index.
