Reflective Everyday Collar

Cleaning Instructions:

1. Hand Wash: Shake off dirt. Use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the collar with a soft brush (toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris.
2. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residues are washed away with lukewarm water to prevent skin irritation.
3. Air Dry: Lay flat or hang the collar to dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight.

Deep Cleaning Instructions:

If your collar retains an odor or a stain after performing the above cleaning process, prepare the following deep-clean solution:

• 4 cups of warm water
• ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide 
• 2 tbsp of washing soda
• 1 tsp of dish soap

Soak the collar in this deep-clean solution for 20 minutes then repeat the three cleaning steps outlined above.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regular Checks: Inspect the collar regularly for signs of wear and tear, especially around the buckle and stitching.
• Replace When Needed: If the reflective material starts to peel or the collar shows significant damage, replace it to maintain safety during nighttime walks.

 

Hands-Free Adventure Belt

 

Cleaning Instructions:

1. Spot Clean: Wipe down the belt with a damp cloth and mild soap for minor stains.
2. Deep Clean: For a thorough clean, hand wash the belt in lukewarm water with mild detergent. 
3. Air Dry: Hang the belt to dry completely before the next use. Do not use a dryer as the heat may damage the fabric and elasticity.

Maintenance Tips:

• Inspect Clips and Buckles: Ensure all clips and buckles are functioning correctly and are free from cracks or other damage.
• Adjust Straps: Check the straps periodically to ensure they are not frayed and adjust them as necessary for a secure fit.

 

Adjustable Padded Leash

Cleaning Instructions:

1. Hand Wash: Similar to the collar, use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Scrub gently with a soft brush. For extra cleaning and deordorising, soak in the deep clean mixture for 20 minutes.
2. Rinse Well: Make sure to rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residues.
3. Air Dry: Allow the leash to dry completely before using it again.

Maintenance Tips:

• Check for Wear and Tear: Regularly examine the leash for any signs of damage, especially where the leash connects to the collar or harness.
