How Do I Care for My Omlet Products?
Updated Thursday 10th July 2025, refreshed December 4th 2021, first published Tuesday 1st 2018
Omlet strives to make the world's best pet products. You should note that some components are made from metal and the coating may need maintenance over time.
Regular care and maintenance is important to increase the life of your Omlet Pet Run.
We recommend regular rinsing with potable water especially if you live in an area or suburb that is coastal or prone to sea breezes or salty air.
If rust spots do develop, then you should repair them to give your outdoor pet run the best chance of staying well maintained.

RECOMMENDATION
We highly recommend using CRC Lanocote as part of your ongoing maintenance, ideally from the very beginning when setting up any metal run or outdoor enclosure. When applied during assembly, CRC Lanocote can significantly aid in disassembly years later.
Regular use of this product will coat the metal and prevent the visible signs of rust on joints and hinges.
Spray the pole joins, hinges, latches, and fixings as you build and assemble.
We recommend Lanocote because it's an environmentally friendly product that provides superior and long-lasting corrosion protection,
even in harsh conditions, without harming treated materials or the environment.
It's blended from lanolin, an all-natural product, making it non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and biodegradable, so it's safe for both you and your pets.
Lanolin is naturally hydrophobic (water-repellent) and forms a highly effective moisture barrier on metal surfaces. It remains flexible, doesn't dry out, and won't wash off. CRC Lanocote offers long-term natural protection for metals against the corrosive effects of salt, acids, and most alkalis. It also inhibits oxidation and galvanic corrosion, even in extreme conditions, making it ideal for marine applications. Its natural composition and odour make it pleasant to work with and ensure it doesn't negatively impact the environment or repel wildlife.
Regular Maintenance is a Good Thing 👍
Yes! Wash regularly
Regular washing or pressure washing with potable water to prolong the life of your steel mesh structure, especially in coastal areas or locations prone to salt air or sea breezes.
We recommend doing this 2 to 4 times a year. This is easily done with a water blaster set to a wide nozzle.
Clean house & run
Clean both the plastic housing and the steel mesh run including the frame and wheels. After hosing it down, let it air dry and then apply Lanocote to all necessary areas (pole joints, door latches, hinges, and fixings.) If rust spots develop then repair to extend the life of your product.
Check run clips & refresh if needed 😊
Carry out regular maintenace checks each time your clean. Take a quick walk around the run and check the security and stability of the run panels. In time, the run clips can age and become weaker, if so, consider refreshing all the run clips on your run. Replacement packs are available.
We have replacement run clips, pole clips, covers and bungees available.
