How to care for your BioThane products
How do I clean BioThane?
BioThane is an extremely durable waterproof material that requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking great for a long time, however, there are a few things you can do to help prolong the life of your BioThane. Regular cleaning with a gentle detergent and an old toothbrush will easily take care of most spots and dirt. Tarnish from the solid brass hardware that may have transferred onto the BioThane may require some additional scrubbing remove, especially if intervals between cleaning are long. While BioThane is incredibly versatile, and repels MOST of the dirt and grime it comes across, please note that it is not completely stain proof in all circumstances.
Will my hardware tarnish?
With regular use and handling, the brass itself is exposed to the oxygen in the air, and oxidation occurs which results in a tarnish or patina on the surface of the brass that keeps it from looking clean and bright. The best way to keep tarnish from staining your dog's fur or the BioThane is to regularly polish the hardware - the less tarnish that is built up, the less possibility for transfer. Your hardware will look shiny and bright!
What should I avoid when cleaning BioThane?
• Harsh cleaners, and other various chemicals
• Extreme heat can damage the BioThane and the hardware, so it is not recommended they be washed in the dishwasher or washing machine on a heated cycle.
• BioThane is waterproof and perfect for dogs that love to swim, however, it is important to allow the hardware components to dry - when not in use, it is recommended to allow all components to fully dry prior to being stored away.
We hope these tips help you to get the most out of your Vivid Canine BioThane products. While no collar is truly indestructible, our goal is for you to enjoy our BioThane products for a very long time. The aesthetics may change as the collar is worn, however the durability and functionality should remain for years.
We are always here to help if you have any questions or concerns. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@vividcanine.com
Caring for your Vivid Canine products
How do I care for my Vivid Canine products?
Dog Bandanas: All of our dog bandanas are able to be machine washed on cold. We recommend air drying flat.
Cotton Rope Dog Leash: We recommend gently hand-washing your cotton rope leash with warm soapy water and laying out to dry.
Biothane Dog Collar & Leash: Our biothane dog leashes & collars are water-proof, stink-proof, and stain resistant! But, sometimes life happens. To clean your leash and/or collar, we recommend handwashing with mild soap and water. Dry with a soft cloth to maintain the longevity of your new leash.
Please note we use solid brass hardware on all of our leashes and collars. It is recommended you rinse off your leash and collar after exposure to salt water. Solid Brass hardware may patina over time, this is completely normal. To prevent this, we recommend occasionally polishing your hardware to keep it looking new.
