Harness Care 101: Keep Your Sprinkle Pups Harness and Leash Looking Fresh (And Yes—They’re Easy to Care For!)
Your pup’s gear should be cute, comfy, and low-maintenance. Good news: all SprinklePups harnesses and leashes are easy to clean. Here’s exactly how to wash them and keep everything looking photo-ready.
How to Wash Sprinkle Pups Harnesses and Leashes
Whether you use our everyday walk harnesses or dress-up styles, care is simple:
Option A — Machine wash (regular cycle):
-
Use mild detergent on a regular cycle (cold water preferred).
-
Hang or lay flat to dry. No dryer.
Option B — Hand wash:
-
Soak in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent.
-
Gently agitate and spot clean as needed.
-
Rinse thoroughly.
-
Hang or lay flat to dry.
Why no heat? High heat can warp hardware and fade fabrics. Air-drying
Caring for Harness Bows (Delicate)
Sprinkle Pups harness bows add that irresistible awww factor, but they’re more delicate:
-
Machine or hand wash sparingly in cold water with a touch of mild detergent.
-
Do not expose to heat (no dryer, no iron, no hot water).
-
Lay flat to dry, gently reshaping the bow.
Pro Tips to Extend the Life of Your Gear
-
Pre-treat spots: A dab of mild detergent on muddy areas before washing works wonders.
-
Mesh laundry bag: Reduces friction and keeps hardware from snagging other items.
-
Rotate sets: Keep a “daily” and a “special outing” set so one can dry while the other’s in action.
-
Store smart: Hang harnesses and leashes or lay them flat in a drawer away from direct sun.
FAQ
Can I use fabric softener?
Skip it—softeners can break down fibers and finishes.
Warm vs. cold water?
Cold is best for color retention. If you need a deeper clean, cool-to-warm is okay—just avoid heat when drying.
How often should I wash?
As needed, after park days, beach trips, or muddy adventures -- anytime your harness needs a shine up!
The Takeaway
Sprinkle Pups gear is truly easy to care for: toss harnesses and leashes into the wash on a regular cycle, then hang or lay flat to dry. For bows, hand wash cold and air-dry flat—no heat ever. That’s it!
