Collar Care

How to wash my dog collar 

GENERAL WASHING  

  • Rinse the product under tap to loosen any excess dirt if required
  • Optional: Apply stain removal gel along the length of the product (this will increase collar vibrancy)
  • Throw it in the washing machine on a 30 degree cycle (In with a couple of towels or pillow case to prevent it clattering around the drum).
  • Dry on a radiator to ensure the product dries quickly and does not allow rust to form. 

     

     

    AFTER A BEACH TRIP (Salt Water)

    We all know how our furry friends like to dive through the waves and take half the beach home with them. We use Nickel plated metal fittings on our products which are more resistant than most to salt water however they are not 100% resistant and we suggest the below in order to minimise the chance of rust. 

    • Rinse the product under the tap to loosen excess salt/sand. Make sure you get under all the metal fittings or rust may occur.
    • Use a towel to soak up as much excess water as possible, loosen the size of the product in order to dry around where the tri-glide would regularly sit. (Tip: Using a hair dryer around the metal fittings is a quick and effective way to dry the product).
    • Dry on a radiator to ensure the product continues to dry quickly and does not allow rust to form. (Do not use tumble dryer unless only for a short period of time and monitored periodically as the fabric is likely to felt under such intense heat for considerable periods of time). 

     

       

      AFTER A WET WALK 

      Whether your dog has had a dip in the river or you've both been drenched in the rain..

      • Dry on a radiator to ensure the product dries quickly and does not allow rust to form, Drying the products with a towel (particularly around and under metal fittings) will help to ensure the best finish.
