Care of Plastic Pants
and other Plastic Products
Fetware uses the finest plastic
materials in the world for unequaled softness. Detergents and bleach
easily strip the elements from plastic that make it soft and pliable.
For long life of Fetware products and to preserve softness follow these
instructions:
1. NEVER machine wash. Always wash by hand soon after use.
2. Never use Detergent. Use only mild hand soap containing no perfumes
or deodorants for best results Example: Ivory Bar soap.
3. Always hang dry away from heat source
4. Never use a gas or electric dryer
Additional Care for Tinted Plastic
Wash plastic garments with a mild soap and then rinse it in fresh water after use. Wash your plastic pants separately until any excess dye washes out. Most suits will bleed a little the first few washings. This is normal, the bleeding will stop. Most bright colors will fade in the sun. You can slow this down by soaking your new suit in a mixture of vinegar and water for 30 minutes. (1 tablespoon vinegar to 1 quart of water) Do not line dry in the sun, hang it to dry in the shade. . Avoid hot tubs, Jacuzzis, and highly chlorinated pools. Wash in warmwater only. Never: bleach, put it in the dryer, iron it, or wash it with whites. Do not sit on abrasive objects (sit on a towel when at the pool or on a boat.) Avoid oil based suntan lotions. Oils are harmful to plastic fabrics.
1. Soap is the safe alternative to synthetic detergents and toxic cleaners. Most cleaning and personal care products are made from petroleum-based detergents that are dependent on a dwindling supply of a nonrenewable resource.
2. During the Second World War, vegetable oils and animal fats, the materials used for making soap were scarce and research into the use of petroleum began. Soon thereafter came the introduction of synthetic detergents. Detergents were found to react less to the minerals that cause hardness in water than did soap, and with the increasing hardness of our nation's water supply, this discovery revolutionized the cleaning industry. In modern usage, detergent means non-soap.
3. These new cleaning chemicals - detergents - work in a similar fashion to soap. Both are surface active agents, otherwise known as "surfactants", that releases the surface tension of a substance such as dirt or oil from a surface. Once the surface tension is released the substance becomes suspended so that water can easily rinse it away. Molecularly, the effect of soap and detergents is similar, but the ingredients use to accomplish this are different.
4. Soap is Nature's own cleaning agent. For centuries, combining animal fat and ashes made soap. The Middle Ages also used vegetable oils. In modern times the alkali component in ashes that worked to make soap was isolated, as were the fatty acids from the fat.
5. Detergents use petroleum combined with a synthetic sulfuric acid molecule, instead of vegetable fatty acids or animal fats combined with an alkali like soap, to product a synthetic fatty acid-like material. Where the production of natural soap has minimal environmental impact, the detergent itself and the chemical process required to synthesize petroleum into a detergent is considerably more toxic to human health and the environment. .
