This is gonna sound nuts, but I've gotten to where I bathe mine rarely. And I do mean rarely. They go to the groomers every 6-8 wks and most of the time I do not bathe them in between. They always smell sweet. All of them. All of my animals clean each others faces/eyes so that is not an issue, but a warm damp wash cloth daily would keep their face and beard pretty clean.
It works for us and since then, they itch less and I don't worry about messing up their ph. They really are always kissably, cuddly sweet smelling.
