Care and Cleaning Tips & FAQs
How to clean my BioThane®
Just with soap, warm water and a cloth/sponge. If you have tougher stains or marks you can use a little rubbing alchohol if needed.
Will insect repellents harm BioThane?
Insect repellents may cause staining or pitting on TPU/PVC coated belts and leather products. Many insect repellents use DEET as an active ingredient which will pit/stain Polyurethane products.
When it is necessary to use a repellent which uses DEET, we suggest an embossed Granite belt as the most durable alternative. Another alternative would be to use an all-natural/organic insect repellent.
