We give Katie Scarlett the nursery water at Wal Mart and it does seem to help, but she still gets tiny ones in the morning after sleeping all night. I take a flea comb to detail her face very gently and carefully during our morning grooming. When it is time for the face, I can say the 'down' command, and KS will get in the down position. I then very carefully and with the comb facing away from the eye, get them out in one pass through. I have to use a babywipe to get them off the brush. I get the sleepywinks (eye boogers) out every morning while they are still on the moist side so they do not have the chance to dry out. I use this brush:

Hope that helps! Good luck to you!
