Good care starts with knowing your products.

From washing to after-wash care, choose according to your garment and situation. Read the manufacturer's care advice and the product label before use.

CLEAN / AFTER USE

Fill a basin with clean water, then add Silico-Away and stir gently. Using the ratio above as a guide, dispense small amounts from the cap, a little at a time, until the solution removes silicone oil from the garment's surface. Adjust the amount according to the water volume, the amount dispensed with each press and the level of silicone oil residue.

Everyday washing · No soaking needed

Wash gently, then rinse.

For regularly worn latex, or garments without much dirt or sweat residue.

  1. Gently hand-wash the garment in diluted Silico-Away to remove silicone oil residue from its surface.
  2. No soaking is needed. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, then follow with Shyne after-wash care.

Deeper cleaning · Soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour

Wash gently, then soak.

For garments that need further removal of body oils, dust or other dirt.

  1. Gently hand-wash in diluted Silico-Away to remove silicone oil residue first.
  2. Leave the garment in the diluted solution to soak for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, then follow with Shyne after-wash care.
