FAQs
How often should I use the Shires Hook And Loop Cleaner?
It is recommended to use the cleaner whenever you notice your touch-close straps are not sticking as securely as they should, or periodically as part of routine tack cleaning.
Can this cleaner be used on clothing?
Yes, while designed for equestrian gear, it can be used on any item with standard hook and loop fasteners, including clothing, bags, and other accessories.
What is the best way to use the cleaner?
Gently comb the cleaner through the hook and loop sides of the fastener, working in the direction of the hooks. Lift out the debris as you go.
Will this damage my straps?
When used as intended with moderate pressure, the cleaner should not damage your straps. It is designed to gently lift debris without causing wear.
Is this cleaner suitable for all types of Velcro?
It is designed for standard hook and loop fasteners. Very fine or specialized industrial fasteners might require different cleaning methods.
What material is the cleaner made from?
The product description does not specify the exact material, but it is constructed for durability to handle regular use.
Where is this cleaner made?
The country of origin is not specified in the product information.
Troubleshooting
Straps still not sticking well after cleaning
Ensure all visible dirt and fluff have been removed. For very stubborn or hardened debris, you may need to use a stiff brush in conjunction with the cleaner, or consider if the hook and loop material itself is worn out.
Cleaner seems to be clogged with debris
Rinse the cleaner under running water. Use your fingers or a small brush to dislodge any deeply packed debris from between the comb teeth.
The cleaner feels flimsy or is bending
Apply moderate pressure only. This tool is designed for cleaning, not for aggressive scrubbing. Excessive force may cause damage.
