Instructions
For all over staining
Bathe your dog with Shimmer Lights shampoo using cool to warm water. If you use hot water on a white dog with Shimmer Lights shampoo, you will have a light purple dog. Shimmer Lights works well with darker color hair as well, as it does not bleach the hair.
Let the shampoo stay on for 2 minutes, and then rinse off.
Check to see if the grass stains have been removed. If they have not, bathe your dog in the shampoo a second time, leaving the shampoo on for three minutes.
Rinse off the Shimmer Lights and check to see if the stain has been removed. If it has not, proceed to Step 5.
Dilute the white vinegar with water to a 1-1 ratio in the spray bottle. Vinegar and water can be used in and of itself as a grass stain remover for pet. This will work for all colors of hair, including the darker shades.
Spray the affected area liberally and let set for five minutes. Apply a good conditioner to your dog's coat when finished.
For small stains
Measure out equal parts of boric acid and baby powder into a small jar.
Stir in milk of magnesia slowly until you have formed a paste. The amount of liquid added is directionally proportionate to the amount of dry ingredients you have used. Start slowly with a teaspoon, and then go from there.
Dip the toothbrush into the jar to apply the paste.
Apply the paste to the grass stain with the toothbrush using short even strokes to get good coverage.
Allow the paste to dry, and then brush out. You have not wet your dog's fur and skin, so you do not have to worry about any irritation because the pores of your dogs skin and the hair follicles have not been opened.
