To ensure the longevity of the Ulfberth padded collar, it should be thoroughly air-dried after each use to prevent moisture damage. For soiling, gentle cleaning is recommended: coarse dirt can be removed with a soft brush, while tougher stains should be carefully dabbed with a damp cloth and mild soap. Absolutely avoid harsh cleaning agents or machine washing, as these can damage the padding and the material. If the collar has leather components, these should be treated regularly with a special leather conditioner to keep them supple.
