Latex: Keep latex garments away from oils, creams, polishes
and leather goods.
Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, sunlight and humidity.Avoid
sharp objects.
Keep away from copper, brass, and bronze, as these metals stain
latex.
Lighter coloured & translucent latex will permanently stain
a brownish-colour when it comes into contact with copper based
items, this includes coins and jewellery - even jewellery that
appears silver may contain traces of copper.
Be careful around candles, cigarettes, and other open flames.
Latex is flammable!
To put on, first lightly powder the inside with talcum powder,
or apply a personal lubricant.
Latex garments can be worn with a matt finish or highly polished.
To achieve a polished finish, spray with a silicone product, personal
lubricant or latex shiner.Be gentle when polishing items with
appliqué detail, rubbing too hard can lift the appliqué
off.
To clean, wash in warm water with a few drops of antibacterial
soap. Rinse well and hang to dry or dab with a tissue. Leaving
your item dirty with sweat and body oils will harm the latex.
Do not wash latex garments with feathers or eyelets, as they may
stain. Surface clean only.
Do not iron, dry-clean, or put latex garments into a washing machine
or dryer.
When not in use, lightly talc your item, carefully fold and place
the item in a plastic bag and put in a closed drawer or similar,
if the item is a light coloured latex and has metal fastenings
wrap these in a piece of tissue paper so that there is no contact
between the fastenings and latex to avoid the possibility of staining.
Light coloured and translucent latex, can discolour when in direct
contact with darker coloured latex, store separately.

Vinyl and PVC: PVC and vinyl
melt in intense heat. Keep away from any open flames.
Hand wash inside & out in warm water with a small amount of
soap. Rinse well. Hang to drip-dry inside out. When the inside
is dry, turn right way round & allow PVC side to dry.
Do not wash PVC garments with feathers or eyelets, as they may
stain. Surface/dry clean only.
If necessary, polish with silicone spray. PVC can bond to garments
containing cotton. Vynil and PVC should be stored in a cool
dry place, in a garment bag away from other clothing.
|
Fabric: Most fabric items
may be hand washed in cool water and drip-dried.
Cotton and silk may shrink dramatically, and therefore dry cleaning
is strongly recommended. Polyester and other manmade fibers
are highly flammable and need to be kept away from open flames
and heat. Do not wash garments with feathers or eyelets - surface/dry
clean only.
|
Feathers: Feathers are sensitive
to humidity and moth. Store in a garment bag away from direct
sunlight. Moth balls may be needed.In case of bending or loss
of shape, the feathers may be lightly moistened and reshaped.
Do not get fully wet and dry thoroughly before use or storage.
Hair dryer may be used.Do not moisten feathers while in contact
with other materials, as feather dye can leak. Do not wash latex
or PVC garments with feathers, as they may stain. Surface clean.
