Lily Beans Collar & Leash Care Guide

BioThane® Collars & Leashes

Waterproof. Odor-resistant. Mold-free. Easy to clean.

To keep your gear looking its best:

  • ✔ Wipe down with a damp cloth or rinse with mild soap and water.
  • ✔ Air-dry after cleaning.
  • ✔ Rinse thoroughly after heavy outdoor use or exposure to saltwater.
  • ✖ Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing tools.

Regular care helps extend the life of your collar or leash!

Hardware Care (Brass, Stainless Steel, Black, Nickel)

  • Brass: Naturally develops a patina over time. Use brass polish if you prefer a brighter shine.
  • Stainless Steel: Ideal for frequent water exposure with minimal upkeep.
  • Nickel & Black Coated: Wipe dry after water exposure to help prevent wear and rust.
  • Chicago Screws: We use Chicago screws on select products for a clean, secure finish. Each screw is set with a thread locker for extra hold — but since pups live their best adventure life, it’s always a good idea to give your gear a quick check now and then to make sure everything stays secure. 
    • Black Chicago screws have a powder-coat finish rather than a plating, and can show wear over time. 

For all hardware types, avoid long-term exposure to moisture when not in use.

If you ever experience an issue with your hardware, please reach out — we’ll make it right.

Warnings & Best Practices

  • ⚠️ Solid brass hardware may leave light discoloration on light-colored fur. If that’s a concern, choose stainless steel, nickel, or black hardware.
  • ⚠️ Avoid prolonged contact with flea/tick collars or topical treatments — chemicals can break down the BioThane® coating.
  • ⚠️ BioThane® is durable and adventure-ready — but not chew-proof. Encourage pups to chew toys, not gear! 🐶🐾
