In a Lucky Fiona Collar your Pooch Will Never Be a Stick in the Mud


A special thanks to Friend of Fiona Carter and his Dogmom Danica for sending in these awesome photos of Carter Le Deux romping in the fall mud this past weekend. Apparently he is wearing his Lucky Fiona "Wonder" collar, which I will take Danica's word for because honestly who can tell with all that mud? A friendly reminder to all our customers that our collars are completely washable. (unlike some of those snooty high priced collars in dog boutiques which can't have water touch them or they disintegrate) Over the past 2 years I've gotten a lot of great feedback on how to easily wash our collars. Most folks chuck them in the regular washing machine in a pillowcase to keep the D-ring from clanging around your washer and run them on regular cycle with everyday detergent. We always suggest laying flat to air dry, but I've had a ton of people say they throw theirs in the dryer in said pillowcase as well. Some folks have emailed me they run theirs through the top rack of their dishwasher like a baseball cap. A few say they use those home steam cleaning machines to safely "steam" away dirt and grime with no cleaning agents needed. I also have a loyal customer who cleans hers with an old toothbrush and some Bon Ami cleaning powder. (which is so retro!)
However you clean them feel confident that our core webbing is not only strong but also mildew resistant so let that warm soapy water clean away! Fabrics will fade with repeated washing, but we like to think it just adds to the vintage patina that lends itself to our fabrics anyway.
As for collars as muddy as Carters here? Hmmm, pressure washer? Fire hose? Street Cleaner?
