YT Addict | Keeping face clean It seems my lolli is a bit of a mess, but it's not so much stains as it is just crud she gets in her face fur over time. What could I use to help get this out without hurting her or risking getting soap in her eyes? Would something like no tears Baby Shampoo work? What do you guys do to keep your babies face clean?

| To wash Zeke's face, I use a warm wash cloth and go over his entire face and beard. I then take a very wet warm paper towel and wet his eyes real good. I then use a flea comb to comb out all of the matter. I keep wetting and combing as it takes a while so as not to hurt them. When I am done with that, I wipe with the wash cloth again. This needs to be done every day. On bath day you can use no tear shampoo if you like. I don't, but you could if you want. |

| I wash their faces every morning after breakfast, and right before bed. So much dust flying around on the floor and their little eyes need washing out. I don't have a problem with eye "gunk", so maybe it's because I do wash their eyes out twice a day.

YT Addict | I gave her a overall bath today and used a no tears shampoo on her face. This helped a great deal! If she ever gets to the point where she will let me use a fine tooth comb on her face, it will work even better. But at least I was able to get the crud out! I just used johnsons no tears baby shampoo. It worked good so I hope this isnt bad to use? It was the only no tears I have right now.

YT Addict | I only used that temporary as I didn't have anything else that was 'tearless' and it needed cleaned very bad. I now got a sample of tearless Biogroom that I'm going to use on her face only. It's a decent size for a sample bottle. Gonna see how this works.

| I use a baby wipe or a baby wash cloth to get the gunk out of the eyes. then I comb with a baby comb that I found at Babies r Us. It is almost clear and rubber and small so they don't freak out when the comb goes near their faces.

| Let me know how the Biogroom works. My Max is king of dirty beards so I understand the constant battle of keeping the face clean. |

| Biogroom also has a waterless bath that is great for touch-ups and face washing. It doesn't have to be rinsed out. Petsmart/Petco also sell doggie wipes that are great for cleaning muddy feet, etc.
