Cleaned only with mild detergent and water (dish soap thinned on a towl).
Keep out of sunlight keep out of sunlight keep out of sunlight. Direct sunlight will destroy it no time. You can prance around in the sunlight just don't stay out there for days on end. Keep about 70

Skullbeast; Is the Latex you use today for your masks any better or more durable/ resistant to deterioration elements like (UV/ Air polutents) compared to the materials that they used in the 70's ?

Not so much it's natural so it rots. But proper care and they last a long time. Tom Savini has some real old ones 30 plus they are fragile but intact.
