Washing your PVC clothing	Non PVC friendly substances
Storage of your PVC clothing	Shining your PVC clothing

The fabric usually used for PVC clothes is polyurethane-coated polyester. This PVC fabric is more resistant to wear and tear than rubber, and PVC clothing does not require the use of any shining products. However you can polish your PVC clothing if desired with silicone spray.

Different coloured PVC garments, especially white, should be stored separately from each other, otherwise staining may occur. PVC clothing and PVC lingerie is best stored hanging in a garment bag away from other clothing.

Be careful not to get any organic solvents near your PVC clothing or it will certainly mean the end for your brand new outfit of PVC lingerie, a PVC dress, or PVC boots as the shape of your PVC clothes will be distorted with acetone.

Then there is the obvious point about not drawing on your PVC lingerie with a permanent maker or getting nail polish (or remover) on your PVC dress.

Hand wash your PVC clothes in lukewarm water with a very small amount of liquid detergent (flakes can stick to the PVC), making sure you wash inside & outside of the PVC clothing. Rinse inside & out thoroughly in cool water until all soap has been removed.

*Always follow the manufacturer's care recommendations.

*Strong all-purpose detergents should be used only for white washes to avoid running in coloured fabrics as they contain brightening and bleaching agents.

*Whites and coloureds should be washed separately.
