Caring for your latex🖤

🧼 How to Wash Latex

To keep your latex looking its best and lasting longer, follow these simple steps for hand washing:

  1. Fill a clean sink or basin with lukewarm water (not hot — around 30°C / 86°F is ideal).
  2. Add a small amount of mild soap or latex-specific cleaner (like Vivishine Wash or baby shampoo). Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
  3. Gently immerse your latex garment in the water and swish it around with your hands.
    Do not scrub, twist, or wring the material — latex is delicate and can tear under pressure.
  4. Let it soak for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water until all soap is gone.
  5. Hang or lay flat to dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

Note: Never put latex in a washing machine or dryer. Only hand wash with care to preserve its shape, shine, and strength.

Where to Store Latex? 🦭

Storing latex while damp can lead to mold


☁️ 1. Before storing
Lightly dust with perfume free talc powder to prevent sticking, or
silicone-based latex shiner (like Vivishine) to keep it supple and prevent drying out.

Only use one method at a time—powder or polish, not both.

🌑 2. Store in the Dark
direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting—UV light can cause fading, yellowing, or brittleness.
cloth garment bag or store it in a drawer or box, away from heat and light.

🧤 3. Avoid Metal and Oils
not store latex in contact with metal (especially copper, brass, or nickel) — it will stain permanently.

Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, oils, and deodorants—they can degrade the latex.

🎨 4. Separate Light & Dark Colors
Store light-colored latex separately to avoid color transfer or staining from darker garments.
