Keeping grey horses clean
- I have heard that daz is the best or white Wine vinegar.
- You were on the right track with the hot water & fairy non bio, but what you should have used was an Ariel bio capsule / or some vanish. Get the water very hot, grasp the tail as the end of the dock to ensure it doesn't go in, & dunk the rest of it, swishing it around in the water. Don't condition until the tail is the colour you want it to be as the conditioner acts as a kind of a laminate & will stop whatever cleaning agent from doing it's job as efficiently as it might.
- Bleach then curtain whitener ... As a rescue works well...
- The Lynn Russell whitening spray applied liberally then left on for 5-10 mins before rinsing is the best I've found.
- Try Champion Tails silver highlight stain remover. Dissolve the crystals in boiling water before you soak the tail. Works a treat!
- I would say, shampoo, again and again, washing up liquid is pretty good. Leave suds on for ten mins or so.
Also like Hilton Herbs Blue shampoo.
THEN, get yourself some Dolly Blue Tablets if you can find them or Supreme Products Blue Powder for the final rinse. It really does take the yellow tinge out - Denture tablets!
Honestly. I have a grey and his tail gets very yellow. I take about half a tube of denture tablets in very hot water, soak his tail for about 10 or 15 minutes and then wash it with blue shampoo (tend to leave the shampoo in for 5 or 10 minutes too). Follow with lots of conditioner and detangler and the result is amazing. - I always give the same reply, but I love Cowboy Magic, shine in yellow out. I also find using a good mane and tail spray stops the stains penetrating the hair so much.
