Tenties Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has the recipe to whiten a dogs coat i used to have it before i got crook but i have had memory loss and try as i might i cant remember.... i do remember the mouthwash one but the one im after takes the ticking away as well ( i think it had bi-carb in it ?? ) or..... if anybody has another one they'd like to share im more than happy to hear Thanks Linda...

poodlefan Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Are you looking to make the coat as clean as possible or to actually bleach it? Given the recent study linking mouthwashes to cancer, I'd not be using them on a dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsfevr Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yes i have used it but be warned it will dry the coat out.The areas i did it on didnt touch the skin. Make sure you have a good shampoo/con to use. Personally though i would be trying other things before heading done this path on a tenties coat. Bi carb & water ,make into a paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenties Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Only alcohol containing mouthwashes. :D Mmmmm Alcohol mouthwash, what sort do you use ?? i must say though its getting a bit bad when one starts using alcohol as their mouthwash, i hope you dont breath on anybody ( sorry Molasseslass i couldnt help it ) Poodlefan, i used to use it for both , because im on a farm the dogs get grass stains and the like and also it was good to remove the ticking which makes them look really clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 This is my "clean and white" process Tenties. I developed it on my horses legs (and we all know sort of stains they get) and use it on the toy poodle (who loves to roll) and the whippets white bits. 1. Wash white areas in sunlight soap. Work it in really well, work up a thick lather and rinse. 2. Wash white areas with a white enhancing shampoo. I use Fidos at the moment but there are lots of good ones. 3. Repeat step 2. 4. Don sunglasses - you will need them. It really does get white areas icey white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Your Jack can't be any worse than my toy poodle can get Tenties. Let me know if it works. I suggested it for an ESS who got grass stains and it did. Oh, and I used it on Lily after her effort in that pic.

Dogsfevr Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Wash first with green dishwashing detergent. Sunlight soap works well . I personally for hard stains like the animal house whiter but if your stuck bluo works just aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Interesting but useless fact time: :wink: Sunlight is the first brand of manufactured cake soap ever sold. It's now about 150 years old as a brand but these days its owned by Unilever. You'll find it in the laundry aisle of most supermarkets (with the Sard wonder soap). It is still sold in its original design blue and yellow cardboard box. Edited January 23, 2009 by poodlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
