✅ Many pet owners ask us: Will washing fade the color?
Using a gentle detergent and air drying away from direct sunlight will help keep your leash looking vibrant longer.
Why Use Mild Detergent?
Organic cotton rope is durable, but harsh soaps or bleach can break down fibers and fade colors faster. We always recommend:
-
A gentle, pH-neutral soap
-
No bleach
-
No fabric softeners
This keeps your leash clean but still soft to the touch.
Tips for Long-Lasting Color
-
Avoid prolonged soaking—short washes are better.
-
Never use hot water.
-
Dry in a shaded area or indoors.
-
If storing, make sure the leash is fully dry to prevent mildew.
