I usually just put some in a little cup, dip my fingers in and the little cornstarch that is stuck to my fingers, I rub into the mat. You'll see, the hair slips apart easily. I've seen groomers keep some in a shaker jar and need to get one myself.
I normally use it before a bath, to get out a mat or two. Then rinse the cornstarch out with cool water before I use warm water to wet them down with. The cool water breaks down the cornstarch better than warm, and it rinses out easier that way.
It's safe to use around their mouths, just be careful (by not using too much)...it's powdery and probably wouldn't feel great to them if it poofed up into their eyes.
