Care Tips for Rubber Goods From Town State College
Rubber items deteriorate with heat oil grease and light says Opal Roberson a clothing specialist. Clean rubbers with a damp cloth or mild soapy water and dry slowly away from heat. For tar or grease try carbon tetrachloride or dry cleaning fluid. Store in natural position and dust surfaces with talcum powder to prevent sticking. Hang raincoats away from direct sun and dry thoroughly afterward. Stow boots and galoshes with paper for shaping.
