Yes! BioThane® is 100% waterproof. It is made with an extremely durable polyester webbing core which prevents it from absorbing water. BioThane® products do not require sealing to protect and/or increase longevity.

While BioThane® is extremely durable and strong, it is not a match for sharp objects (including teeth) which, if allowed to come in contact BioThane®, may puncture the product. If your pet is allowed to bite or chew on BioThane®, there is the possibility it being chewed through. We always recommend checking your pet's gear for signs of wear and tear.

BioThane® is incredibly Stink and Stain resistant in most instances.

Lighter colors are more prone to possible staining, so a little extra care with soap and water can prove very helpful. Magic Eraser and/or baking soda does help with cleaning.

Deet may cause tackiness and/or pitting of the BioThane® material.

Harsh cleaners should be avoided when cleaning your BioThane® gear.

Extreme heat can damage BioThane®, so washing in a dishwasher or washing machine on a heated cycle is not recommended. Steel wool pads should not be used to clean BioThane®.

BioThane® leashes and collars are waterproof, stink proof and generally stain resistant. However, sometimes life happens.

We recommend handwashing with mild soap and water, along with a soft brush (a tooth brush works great!) for more stubborn dirt, and a soft cloth. Solid brass hardware may leave marks on BioThane®, which may require a little extra scrubbing. A Magic Eraser works well for this. It is important to rinse your BioThane® gear with fresh water after exposure to both chlorinated and salt water. This will help maintain the longevity of your leash and collar. BioThane® gear should be allowed to completely dry prior to being stored away.

Harsh cleaners should be avoided when cleaning BioThane®.

No, it will not! BioThane® has a smooth, slightly textured surface. BioThane® prevents rashes and irritation from happening on your pet's skin as it dries quickly and does not absorb water. BioThane® is perfect for pet's with all types of fur!

With regular use and handling, as solid brass hardware is exposed to oxygen, oxidation occurs which results in a tarnish or patina on the surface of the brass. This creates a dull finish. Regularly cleaning your hardware is the best way to keep your hardware looking shiny and bright.

Our matte black and brass plated hardware will scratch and/or fade over time and with regular use. This does not affect the overall integrity and strength of the hardware.

To clean solid brass hardware:, We suggest using baking soda or toothpaste with a tooth brush. Either of these will do a fantastic job of cleaning your brass so it looks like new!

To clean brass plated or matte black hardware: We suggest washing it with mild soap and water and drying it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
