How to Get My Maltese Dogs Face Clean
Maltese dogs are known for white, fluffy fur. However, with white fur comes facial staining. Many Maltese owners have issues with tear stains and food stains on their dogs faces. Not doing anything about your dogs face stains only makes them worse and harder to fix. Clean your dogs face properly and make a few changes to your dogs food and water to help prevent deep staining.
Instructions
- 1
Pour 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide into a bowl. Add enough cornstarch to the bowl to make a thick paste. The cornstarch and peroxide help whiten stained hair.
2Put a small amount of the paste on the bristles of a soft toothbrush. Apply the paste to your dogs face. Avoid getting any of the paste in its eyes. Let the paste dry; then gently rub it off with a clean washcloth. Rinse the face with clean, warm water.
3Boil a cup of purified water. Let the water cool down until its lukewarm. Wet a clean, white washcloth with the water. Apply a dab of whitening shampoo to the washcloth. Gently clean your dogs face with the washcloth. Avoid getting the shampoo in its eyes.
4Dip a fresh, clean white cloth in the lukewarm water. Gently rinse the dogs face with the cloth until you remove all the shampoo.
