How to Take Care of your Noctum Pieces
Latex Care
Caring for your Noctum pieces means acknowledging the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into each design. Latex is a stunning but delicate material that requires special care to keep your Noctum pieces bold and striking. Make caring for your unique pieces a ritual.
Important Tips
If you have a latex allergy, avoid wearing latex as it can cause allergic reactions.
Avoid contact with metal, sharp objects, and harsh chemicals, as these can damage latex.
Light and translucent latex is sensitive to color changes. Store separately in a dark bag and with pieces of the same color.
Do not expose latex to high heat or direct sunlight.
Washing & Oiling & Drying
Wash latex by hand with lukewarm water and a mild soap (like dish soap) after every use. Avoid harsh chemicals. Rinse thoroughly.
Now the latex is clean and you can choose if you like to store the latex powdered or oiled. We recommend the oiled method. Soak latex briefly in lukewarm water with a little latex silicone oil, wipe excess, then dry.
If latex needs repair, wash with soap to remove oil, dry, then powder before storing.
Dry by hanging on a plastic hanger, away from direct sunlight. You can also use paper towels and wipe the water droplets from the outside and inside of the garment. This will speed up the drying process.
Latex looks lighter and spotty when wet but returns to normal when dry. Drying can take several days.
Be careful, the oil is very slippery, it is better to put a piece of cloth on the floor and wash the bucket well with soap after the use.
Storage
Store dried latex in a plastic box or bag, or hang on a plastic hanger (never metal). Place the same colors next to each other.
Keep stored latex away from light, heat, metals, and chemicals.
Store powdered and oiled latex pieces separately.
