How to do it properly

Get a bowl of hot water, soft soap (shampoo works good) and a towel. Put a small amount of water and soap on your towel and softly rub the towel against the latex. Once you got every part of your waist trainer washed it is important that you put it up to dry. To fasten the drying process use a dry towel to wipe the majority of water off, use some baby powder or your hairdryer on the lightest setting.

Storage

Make sure to not have any other clothes touching your waist trainer as it dries as it might stain the other clothes, so please keep those white clothes as far away from the waist trainer as possible. Leather can also damage the latex, so don’t have any leather clothes near the waist trainer during its drying process.
