Awesome tip! Vinegar is a great natural deodorizer and can help cut through tough smells. Thanks for sharing that with the community!

I do this for my Outward Hound dog life jacket, and it comes out smelling fresh every time.

Great question! It’s generally best to air dry dog gear to avoid any potential damage from the dryer. High heat can warp or damage the materials, so sticking to air drying is safer.

Or is air drying the best way?

So glad to hear it worked out well for you! Sometimes we don’t realize how dirty things can get until we clean them. Keep up the great work with your pup’s gear!

I didn’t realize how much dirt had built up. Thanks for the clear steps!

Great point! Regular cleaning is key to maintaining both the gear and your pet’s health. It can help prevent skin irritations and ensure that safety gear functions properly. It’s all about finding a balance!

For tough stains, try soaking the boots in a mix of warm water and vinegar for about 30 minutes before scrubbing again. It should help loosen up any stubborn dirt!

Absolutely! Regularly check for wear and tear, and store the gear in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Also, avoid using fabric softener as it can break down materials over time.
