I like the water and chlorine bleach idea. It is far less toxic to handle and dispose. Besides the vinegar or muratic acid, I have also heard of using hydrogen chloride. I'm not a chemist either. I believe it is hydrochloric acid. This can be found in most toilet bowl cleaners.

Hi Guys and Gals

Whatever method you go for, remember, "safety first, lovely slippery latex second. If you start throwing unknown chemicals together in a bucket or whatever, you're likely to release copious amount of noxious/poisonous gases. I had a classmate at school who spent a few days in hospital after gassing himself with Chlorine after mixing all sorts of household cleaners in a bucket, in an attempt to clean the bucket.

I have successfully chlorinated garments with the proven Hydrochloric Acid (brick cleaner) and bleach method, yes you do get Chlorine Gas emitted, but forewarned and with preparation this need not be a hazardous operation. As with all chemistry, know what you're doing and the likely outcome of any mixing and reaction. At first I too tried the vinegar and bleach method and was rewarded with reasonable success on moulded garments.

Take care

Note: if you don't want to deal with cholorinating garments yourself, you can have www.latexessence.com do it professionally for a reasonable fee.

It is a good result when done properly, I also confirm that Latex Essence does a good job ,the catsuit fits better after treatment, no grabby wrinkles.

Thanks guys!

I would reiterate the comments on safety from the esteemed members above, safety first people. Chlorine can be unpredictable in the amount of gas produced, always wear a functioning respirator capable of dealing with inorganic/organic vapour and eye protection. Acid can burn skin easily so wear gloves too.

My biggest fear is people simple unaware of Chlorination or are scared away from the long whitepaper. Some FAQs i found through google make out like its so dangerous & must be tried as a last resort. absurd! And they dont make it clear that its permanent. And dont include no easy pics but long boring post.

I cant believe how ridiculously easy chlorination is. And yet the results are out of this world, & almost instant the latex turns super smooth. There should be a big red banner on front page here "How to make your Latex permanently smooth in 3 easy steps" You could literally make a colourful easy as 123 guide that's very attractive to 1st timers. The whitepaper has so much unnecessary clutter.

2 basic supermarket/hardware chems, (8L water, 240ml bleach, 40ml Hydrochloric acid for a full suit in large 20L bucket), wear googles from splash, gloves, & do outside with fan. Just dont get a wiff of the hydrochloric acid on its own or chlorine. The actual bucket mixture is harmless on my skin/arm.

I have found a nice video called Talking about Latex made on 20th Oct this year. It's by a 47 year old lady, called Suzan Zibar I think, who's experiencing the joys of her Fantastic Rubber Catsuit because it's chlorinated. She says she couldn't get on with standard latex because she reacted to it. She also has a nice Fantastic Rubber corset and is clearly over the moon with the whole experience.
Good for her I say.
