TYRAS Dog Gear products are designed to be durable. We use only the toughest materials and craft them with the utmost care. Regular maintenance of your gear will not only keep it looking fresh but also extend its lifespan. Proper care is simple but crucial for the longevity of the product and enhances your enjoyment of its use.

Note: To prevent excessive wear and tear, check your gear after each use and clean if necessary. Ensure all components are functional and all seams are intact. Do not use equipment that shows signs of damage or bite marks from dogs to minimize safety risks.

Light dirt can be easily removed with a clean, damp cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, hand wash the gear in lukewarm water with mild soap or, even better, the dog shampoo you use for your dog. You can use a sponge for stubborn dirt. After washing, dry all metal components with a cloth and remove any remaining dirt and deposits with compressed air or by blowing. Then, let the gear air dry. Once dry, lightly oil the moving parts in metal buckles and clips.

Biothane and Hexa are easiest to clean by wiping down the gear with a wet cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a bit of mild soap and a soft sponge. After cleaning, simply dry the Biothane/Hexa with a cloth. Dry all metal components and make sure to remove any remaining dirt and deposits with compressed air or by blowing. To prevent excessive wear, lightly oil all moving parts in the metal buckles and clips.

Leather collars and leashes are best cleaned with lukewarm water and saddle soap. If saddle soap is not available, you can use a mild soap. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a sponge. After cleaning, blot excess water from the collar or leash. Leather products must air dry thoroughly without direct sunlight or other heat sources to avoid damage. Dry all metal components with a cloth and make sure all remaining dirt and deposits are removed with compressed air or by blowing. After the gear is dry, apply leather care with a clean cloth or sponge to maintain the leather's quality. It is also recommended to lightly oil the moving parts in metal buckles and clips.

If fibers or hair get caught in the Velcro, you can easily remove them with a toothbrush. For the loop side, vacuuming often helps. This ensures that the Velcro continues to function properly.

If products are exposed to saltwater or sand, it is important to clean them to prevent excessive wear. This is especially true for sand, as sand grains can cause significant microabrasions that weaken the nylon fabric over time and impair the proper function of metal components. Ensure that you let the products air dry well after rinsing. This prevents mold in the nylon and oxidation of metal components.
