Biothane material is a waterproof and is long lasing. It requires little upkeep most dirt can be cleaned easily when cleaned regularly either wipe with a cloth, disinfectant wipe or soak with a mild detergent . Scrub for more difficult stains. Biothane is not entirely stain resistant.
HARDWARE
Over time the hardware will begin to show signs of wear. The Nickel Plated, and Black Plated hardware will change color, chip or peal over time this is normal. with the exception of solid brass and stainless steel. These problems are only cosmetic and they do not affect the hardware's long-term durability. It's normal for tarnish it happen and it can stain your dog's fur, biothane and straps on bags. Tarnish is gunk that builds up on hardware over time. Washing collar on a regular basis is the best way to avoid this from happening. It is important to dry off the metal hardware after it gets wet when the gear is in use. Tis will prevent hardware from rusting. Keep in mind that harsh cleansers and detergents can damage hardware's finish and discolor the Biothane.
