Latex Care & Information
WASHING
Latex, as a product of nature reacts very sensitively to fats, oils and various types of metal! Fats or oils can soften and decompose latex，to prolong the enjoyment with your latex product, you should clean and maintain the clothing properly every time after wearing it.
Wash the Dida latex sheets, preferably by hand in lukewarm water (30-40 ° C). Wash the latex for at least 1 minute in it, and then thoroughly rinse with clear water. In the case of heavy dirt or odors, immerse the latex into detergent water with very little content for a longer period (approx. 30 minutes) in order to achieve maximum cleaning and hygiene effect. Carefully wipe off excess water with a soft towel and leave to dry flat. Lightly dust with talc before putting away.
DO NOT attempt to tumble dry and definitely DO NOT iron or dry clean rubber garments.
