Tips for keeping your Dog's Rope Toys Clean

This is Tank, Ahh Outfitters, biggest fan and product tester. I love toys and am sure your pup does too! Here are my tips to help keep our rope toys clean and reduce harmful bacteria...

Because us dogs generally use our mouths to play with our toys, it’s important that our toys be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis. Not only to wash away dirt and grime, but to kill bacteria and other germs that tend to thrive on our slobber-laden, dragged-through-the-dirt, tugged-on, chewed-on, and loved-to-the-extreme toys.

For rope toys, your best bet is to soak the toy in clean water and then microwave it for one minute on high heat – this should be enough to kill any bacteria. A second option is to run the toy through the dishwasher on the hot cycle with no detergent.

Of course, microwaving our rope toys will only disinfect them, but will not do much about dirt and grime build up. To clean these toys, simply toss in the laundry. Because they’re durable and designed to be tugged and chewed, they can be dried in a dryer as well.
