BittyMooPeeb Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) I have tried using Laser Lites 'No More Stains', and have followed the directions for mixing it up. I end up with something the consistency of wet sand though . The 'crystals' dont dissolve at all. Am I doing something wrong?

Agree, warm water from the tap and stick it in the microwave for about 15secs (just watch it doesnt go foamy and spill out) Wait till its cooled and apply. What part of the body are you using it on??

BittyMooPeeb Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm using it on muzzle and paws. I mixed it with boiling water, but still didn't get dissolving happening! (it looked sort of dissolved, but when it cooled it was like damp sand) So will try the microwave. Is it supposed to be green and smell of .... sewage?

I end up with something the consistency of wet sand though . The 'crystals' dont dissolve at all.Am I doing something wrong? I had the same problem, with undisssolved particles on the bottom, or like using liquid sand, you forgot to mention the smoky haze that rises up when hot water is added. I spoke to LL who sent a new tub, and after a couple of uses it went the same way. Gave up on it, but might try the other suggestion. I was using on bitches pants or skirts (depending on which breed you have) to help get rid of wee stains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxyNHemi Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I found it worked great with my crown royal shampo Part LL, Part Crown Royal into a Pump water bottle, topped up warm water, and shook like buggery, then applyed and it lathered up very very well! It was still slightly crystally, and actually frothed lots from the shaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to scare anyone else off ;) So, with your second batch, did it dissolve properly at first? (ie maybe the problem is the age of the 'crystals') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynka Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) What about a mortar and pestle to ground down the crystals? The smell doesn't sound very appealing. - you have a bright dog that smells bad. Edited February 24, 2010 by nynka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 have you tried using a whisk to mix it in better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie maybe the problem is the age of the 'crystals') Yes second batch was OK for first one or 2 tries, then it went the same way - pity the tubs are so large. Not sure if LL have looked into it and wether the powder/ crystals need one of those little moisture absorbing satchets you seem to find in everything !

BittyMooPeeb Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 have you tried using a whisk to mix it in better? Yeah - but the mixture hardly has any liquid in it (like damp sand as Ive said) and extra mixing didnt help. Off to ring Laser lites I think ...

BittyMooPeeb Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) OK, I just spoke to Trish from Petcetera. Her advice is to: - add boiling water to the 'crystals' and wait till it mixes in - add shampoo and mix to a managable paste - apply to dog and leave for from 15 mins to several hours depending on breed - rinse off - shampoo as normal - condition well with something like LL protein conditions. So, CnR gets the prize for having worked out the best method of using it Edited February 25, 2010 by BittyMooPeeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, the plot thickens . My 'No more stains' *doesn't* smell like it has a bleaching agent in it. I talked to an exhibitor friend about this, and she gave me her container of 'No More Stains' purchased a while ago. Hers is white powder that *does* smell like a bleaching agent, *does* dissolve in hot water etc. Mine is completely different - more like green, rocky, crushed seaweed, smells like a sewer, *doesn't* dissolve. YET THEY BOTH HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME INSTRUCTION LABEL ON THEM :D So methinks the product has been changed from caustic to an enzyme based, but the new instructions have been forgotten :D The white caustic powder works well with the instructions given. So .... who out of those who posted has the white caustic version, and who has the green seaweed version?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lolapalooza* Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Green? Thats weird hey! Mine is white and I have used a couple of times, it is a bugger to dissolve in boiling water and I thought it smelt/looked/felt like Napisan ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Maybe try the Champion Tails stain remover. Haven't heard anyone having problems with that. You can get it in horse shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 i have heard the E Z white is very good at removing stains, just use it as hot as possible and leave on for several minutes. I haven't tried it as I don't currently have a dog who needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
