nillasdad Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi all, ours are leaving black marks, which isn't pretty on white... Anyone got an efficient way of cleaning these things so they don't leave marks? cheers seagate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incavale Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 If they are chrome plated then you'll find that the chrome is flaking. Time to get a new chain if you don't want to leave marks on a white dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arawnhaus Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Mine have never worn badly.So I think maybe just replace it. I've got Heman Sprenger made check chains and the no brand ones from Woolworths and neither have ever done what you are describing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done one of them with the toothpaste, see how I go with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akitaowner Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 if its the water they must be chrome - stainless will last forever. i have a chrome chained martingale which is all corroded froma few yrs use but my prongs which get weekly at least swim in the ocean look brand new after 18 months i would suggest getting a stainless one for a white coated dog - i dont know if the marks on the coat will stain permanently?
