White fur - Need tips to remove TOUGH stains from it

[carolina]

Before I got the Klaw Kontrol bag, a restraining bag to give Bugsy his meds, the task was pretty messy (he is a BIG and STRONG guy), and he even using a towel he ended up with a very bad awful stain on what once was a majestic white mane...

Now with the help of the bag, I can give him the meds is seconds, and with no mess at all... But the damage has been done...

So, here is my question: Aside from taking him to the professional groomer, what can I do at home to bring that white back? Consider that a very tough stain!

Here is how bad the stain looks

Thanks!

Do you have Dazzle Dog in the States?

I don't think so... I see only in NZ and Australia... I saw wonderful things about it on the web too, now that you mentioned... A lot of people actually use this to groom their horses manes... Oh man... Too bad!

O/T - If I ever have to give Sherman liquid meds again I'm definitely bidding him to keep it out of his mane.

There should be other whitening shampoos for cats available over here, you'll just have to wait for the US people to wake up. You could also try googling for what people use on their show cats - someone usually brags somewhere.

I used to use Nexxus Simple Silver on my white rexes. You might have to wash the area a few tims or try to leave the shampoo on a little longer before rinsing it out.

Are you game to just cut out the stain and have it grow back??

If you can't get a specific cleaner try apple vinegar on a soft cloth. I have used that before on my three white cats and it helps lots of stains and is non-toxic.

I actually like it, it looks like a yellow beard!

Sorry, is he a show cat?

I would also recommend wiping it with diluted vinegar, it has natural whitening ability.

Nope, that doesn't work... That's how I clean it, actually...

I would try a mild solution of Oxiclean. I love this stuff! Works on just about everything!

White N' Bright hands down! I love this stuff, my pig pen show horse has 4 white stockings and I don't know what I would do without it.

What about whitening powder they sell at cat shows.
I will be getting some for my sphynx.

Chris Christensen White On White works wonderfully. My last foster was a long haired white cat and he came to me with horribly stained yellow legs/pants and I was able to get him sparkling white with the CC.

wow, can you use that on a Sphynx? What powder are you talking about? Can you get the name for me?

 

[mews2much]

I will ask my Mentor she is going to send me some of hers.
Yep it can be used on sphynx also.
My friends shows a white Turkish Angora and uses it also.

He is still a beautiful and regal man, even if the stain has to grow out.

 

[katkisses]

Awww, poor fellow looks like he got into the orange juice... I hope you figure something out.

Stain or not, Bugsy is absolutely GORGEOUS!

I wonder if lemon juice would work.. It has whitening ability.
