When cleaning your Zee.Dog leash, we always recommend the use of neutral soap (ex. basic dish soap) and warm water.
Brush the surface in the direction of the webbing with the soft side of a basic sponge. For leashes this would be from handle towards the hook.
Let it air-dry in the shade and avoid washing it frequently.
When not in use, we suggest that you keep your dog leash someplace safe where your pup can't jump up and grab it. There is a risk that it might get chewed and damaged, our leashes are not chew-proof!
Hook care:
- Hook inspection: Check to see if hook and screw lock are in good condition and working smoothly. Keep them free from any dust and dirt residue by opening and closing the gate several times while blowing it to prevent anything from sticking in.
- A clean hook is a good hook. After removing any residue and dust from the hook, rinse it with running water and dry it with a clean towel while pushing the gate back and forth.
- Lube is the key. The best tip for a long lasting hook is occasionally use lubricant oils to make it even smoother. Lube it with dry graphite or any waxed based lubricant around the hinge area, the spring hole and the locking mechanism. Remember to always lube it after contact with salt water.
