[BellaDonna]

I am a new to yorkies but I have found something that works pretty well for me. I purchased some regular cleaning sponges that are about the size of a 3x5 index card. Then I cut that in half.
Using the spray nozzle I wet her head and under jaw with the spray nozzle. Then using the sponge I wet the rest of her face and gently wash around her eye area to remove eye gunk. I also use a little diluted shampoo in the sponge to wash the top of her head and muzzle and around the mouth. Once I have it washed to my satisfaction I rinse the sponge throroughly and go over her face with clear water several times to remove any soap residue and the very last thing I do is very quickly rinse the head and jaw again with the nozzle while shielding her eyes with my hand and at the same time holding her ears down to keep water from going into her ears.
Hope this helps, it seems to work for me.
