WHEN YOUR LATEX ARRIVES:

- FILL A PLASTIC CONTAINER, SINK, OR TUB WITH LUKEWARM WATER AND A FEW DROPS OF NEUTRAL DISH SOAP.
- SOAK THE LATEX FOR 5 MINUTES, GENTLY SWISHING IT.
- RINSE WITH CLEAN, LUKEWARM WATER.
- HANG TO DRY ON A PLASTIC OR WOODEN HANGER (AVOID METAL HANGERS).
- TURN INSIDE OUT TO DRY THE OTHER SIDE ONCE ONE SIDE IS DRY. NOTE: SHEER LATEX MAY LOOK MILKY IF SOAKED TOO LONG
- THIS WILL DISAPPEAR WHEN FULLY DRY.
HOW TO STORE:
- AFTER CLEANING AND DRYING, LATEX MAY STICK TOGETHER - THIS IS NORMAL.
