Linen
We recommend hand washing or scrubbing our products with lukewarm water and soap. If you want to wash your leash completely, it is recommended to put the textile leash in a fabric bag in the washing machine at max. 30°C on the gentle cycle so that no damage occurs. Do not put in the dryer.
Leather
Be careful with products made of leather or with leather parts. The leather parts are only dry cleaned and must not be washed. Our fine patent leather is a sensitive natural product that can react easily and sensitively to external influences. Too much water or moisture or prolonged exposure to the sun can cause the material to expand, in very rare cases discolour or even get scratches/cracks. Since we only receive fresh leather, this cannot be avoided with the purely natural product, but it gives the leather its own character with constant wear. You can slow down the process by avoiding contact with water or too much moisture if possible, or avoiding leaving it in the sun on hot days with strong UV rays. It is also advisable to care for our leather with special leather grease and a soft brush if necessary. Alternatively, dirt such as mud etc. can also be left to dry and then carefully brushed out with a soft brush.
