| How do you clean around eyes? I used a cloth damp with a little water. Very wiggly-and I expected it more clean than that.

| I have a little teasing comb that i use to get those boogers out! Somtimes i'll use a little warm water to really get them good. A similar thread was posted and a YT member suggested a tooth brush. I thought that was a great idea.

| I wash my boys' faces with a warm, damp cloth (dampened with distilled water) and a tiny bit of baby shampoo. I also use a flea comb on their faces. They didn't like it at first, but they are so used to it now that they don't even move. They know it's part of their bedtime ritual. In fact, when I say "let's wash faces", they run toward the bathroom land wait for me to get things ready lol My vet told me to give them distilled water to drink, and that will help with the runny eyes. It seems to work great!

| I also use a damp wash cloth on little Pippin's eye boogies. Then I use a small flee comb to get the rest of it out of his hair. It works well because of the tiny teeth on the comb.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I use a q-tip wet with warm water for the eye boogies then I just use a regular rat tail comb to comb his face out and a brush to make it look fluffy

| I use the little cosmetic sponges. They are cut into triangles which helps getting into the corners, especially on the little ones. I dip them in warm water; they work really well. Once I get the gunk softened, I comb through starting with coarse teeth and finishing with a flea comb.To dis-infect the sponges, I rinse them and put them in the microwave for 2 minutes. |

| Yep, a little finger toothbrush works great! That's one of the first things I learned on YT. YorkieTalk rocks!!

| Another really neat thing to use is a mascara brush (sorry if that is spelled incorrectly I don't wear any make up) Make sure the brush has not been used to apply mascara. It is very small has tiny bristles and gets in there really good. Only problem is I for the life of me can't remember where I got mine. I belive a friend got me one. I love it.

| I use a really small comb, to get the gunk. I do it 1-2 times a week. Its a must! Meka recently stayed two weeks w/ my grandmother, who didnt do it at all...and I almost cried having to do it. If you dont stay on top of it, it will harden up and its not a pretty pic... They dont like it, but they need it

| I put a little water on a mustache comb (from a man's grooming kit) it combs the eye boogies right out!! It is about 1 and 1/2" long.
