Fabrics wash and care
We mainly use high stretch fabrics and have a few fabrics that are less stretchy due to the coating such as PU and Latex.
Matt spandex,
A techno-fabric made of micro-polyamide with an extremely soft and silky hand feel, it fits the body as a second skin, gracefully following every move you make. Ideal for the creation of comfortable outerwear and sportswear garments, it is also UV protective (UPF 50+) and therefore suitable for any kind of sport activities, even the most challenging, long-lasting ones. The matt spandex is a polyamide elastane knit. The outside is matt and the inside is brushed. It will give a soft comfortable feel.

Wash and care:
LATEX,
Latex (rubber) is a natural product.
Latex clothing is generally made from large sheets of latex which are delivered in rolls.
The latex garment production is for 95% gluing the parts together in stead of sewing.
Latex has a special (like elastics) type of stretch, that is constant.
Latex garment looks like second skin. When lubricated it will give that high gloss shine.
Latex garment also needs special care.
Hand wash the garment in luke warm water. A mild soap may be used.
When ordered, latex fabric typically arrives unshined and powdered to prevent sticking and moisture forming mold during shipping. Upon receipt, users can remove the powder and apply the appropriate shining solution to achieve a glossy finish.
For machine washing use 20ml per load ( double the dosage for overly oiled clothing ) and set the temperature to 40°- 60°. Set the program to delicate wash with a maximum spin cycle of 600.
For hand washing fill up your sink or bath tub with hot water (minimum 40°). Add 10ml. Place your rubber in the water and stir it around. Let it soak for a while and then turn it inside out and repeat the process. Rinse thoroughly with clean hot water.
Towel dry any metal fitting.
Let the garment dry both inside and out.
Do not clean with chlorine
Do not dry on any heating source or dry in the sun Nourish with silicone based preservatives Do not store when wet or damp Avoid exposing rubber to sunlight or heat, this may damage or fade the rubber and avoid putting transparent or light colored rubber against metal (zippers, press-tuts, buckles). Store rubber in a dark, dry, cool place such as a closet, preferably in a black plastic bag. Should the garment tear or become damaged in any way, do not attempt to wear or repair it. Have it professionally repaired. Always clean your rubber after use always powder after washing so it won't stick together and tear when attempting to unfold it
Latex/Rubber covered spandex,
When ordered, latex fabric typically arrives unshined and powdered to prevent sticking and moisture forming mold during shipping. Upon receipt, users can remove the powder and apply the appropriate shining solution to achieve a glossy finish.
The Latex/rubber covered spandex is a thin layer of latex coated on a spandex fabric and has the same features and care on the latex/rubber side as regular latex
The outside of the latex/rubber can be worn either shiny or matt.
The latex/rubber covered spandex un shined gives a matt leather look but you will need to rub powder on the places that will chafe against each other such as the inner thighs to make sure that you don't damage the latex/rubber layer as it will be ruined when having excessive rubbing when being too sticky or dry.
The latex/rubber covered spandex on the outside is as regular latex and it can be shined the same way and can be worn shiny.
Warning: latex covered spandex contains natural latex on the outside, which may cause allergies.
The latex/rubber covered spandex clothes is much easier than putting on their latex equivalents.
The elastic spandex fabric on the inside that glides easier over the skin than latex so there is no need to use a slip gel or powder inside to put the item on.
If you want the product to please you for a long time, we advise you to follow these recommendations:
hand wash at a temperature of up to 40 degrees, mechanical washing at a temperature of up to 40 degrees, do not iron, do not use chlorine do not dry clean, if you are washing the latex covered spandex and you have not used shiner on it, it will stick together when washing so i would advice you to put a bit of shiner on the outside before washing it so to prevent it sticking together. if it does stick together then use talk powder and slowly pull apart and at the same time powder the garment to prevent it sticking again. when storing the item after washing do make sure it is completely dry, clean and powdered. do not tumble dry do not hang it on any heating source or hang dry in the sun, do not leave out in the sun as it will deteriorate the latex and burn it changing the color do not scrub/rub intensively - it can cause damages of the surface of the material, for good care use silicone-based agents or other fat-free products on the outer shell (rubber/latex side) wet or damp clothing should be dried naturally before being stored, store your clothes separately from each other to avoid coloring with different colors and sticking one to another, preferably in a bag in the dark, Use: for gloss use a rinse aid on the outside shell.
