Quick answer
Wash your Latex 2.0 pieces by hand in lukewarm water with a mild soap, dry them fully away from heat and sunlight, then apply Shining Spray before wearing or storing. Use Dressing Aid every time you put them on to avoid tears.
Why 0.4mm latex needs a different routine
The Latex 2.0 collection uses an enhanced 0.4mm latex that is designed to sculpt and gloss over curves. That thinness is what makes the bodysuit, mini skirt, and bralette feel sleek, but it also means they are less forgiving of rough handling, heat, and harsh cleaners than thicker latex or everyday fabrics.
You do not need a shelf of specialist products. A mild soap, a soft cloth, Dressing Aid, and Shining Spray cover almost everything. The bigger risk is skipping steps: putting on latex without Dressing Aid, leaving it damp, or storing it pressed against itself can shorten its life faster than normal wear.
The cleaning mistake that dulls shine
Many people reach for body wash, shampoo, or a scented cleanser because it is already in the bathroom. Those can leave a film that interferes with the glossy finish and may dry out the latex. Plain lukewarm water and a small amount of mild, unscented soap are enough for routine cleaning after each wear.
Also avoid wringing or twisting the garment to remove water. That stress is exactly what thin latex does not need, especially around the straps of the bralette and the high neckline of the bodysuit.
When to shine and when to skip it
Shining Spray is formulated to give a high-gloss effect, and the catalog notes it is needed for that finish. Use it after the garment is completely dry, not before storage if you plan to store the piece for a long time, because excess product can attract dust. For immediate wear, a light even coat is enough.
If you are storing a piece for weeks, clean and dry it thoroughly, then store it without shine. Apply Shining Spray when you take it out to wear. This keeps the surface cleaner and reduces the chance of tackiness in storage.
Step-by-step latex care routine
- 1. Put it on with Dressing Aid: Apply Dressing Aid to your skin and the inside of the latex before wearing. The catalog notes Dressing Aid is essential for slipping into latex. Common mistake: pulling the garment on dry, which stretches the 0.4mm latex and can cause small tears at seams or straps. Keep Dressing Aid next to your latex so you never skip it.
- 2. Wash by hand after each wear: Fill a basin with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild, unscented soap. Gently wipe the inside and outside with a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly. Common mistake: using hot water or leaving soap residue, which can dull the surface. Rinse until the water runs clear, not just until the soap looks gone.
- 3. Dry flat and away from heat: Lay the bodysuit, skirt, or bralette flat on a clean towel or hang it with space around it. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators. Common mistake: hanging a wet bodysuit by its straps, which can stretch them. Check that the inside is dry before you store it, not just the outside.
- 4. Apply Shining Spray before wearing: Once the latex is completely dry, spray a light, even coat of Shining Spray and buff gently with a soft cloth if needed. The catalog notes Shining Spray is needed for a high-gloss effect. Common mistake: spraying onto damp latex, which can trap moisture. Shine before you wear, not before long storage.
- 5. Store flat or loosely rolled: Store each piece separately, flat or loosely rolled, in a cool dry place. Avoid folding sharp creases into the same spot for months. Common mistake: hanging latex in a hot wardrobe or pressing it under heavy items. If you stack pieces, put latex on top or in its own pouch.
- 6. Check for wear before each wear: Run your fingers along seams, strap joins, and edges for tackiness or small splits. If a piece feels sticky, clean and dry it again before wearing. Common mistake: ignoring a small tear until it grows. A two-minute check before dressing saves a repair later.
