Hello again,

I'm sure someone has probably posted about this before, but what is the best way to clean a grease gland because i've just been told this ...

http://www.diy.com/nav/build/motori...s/hand_cleaner/Swarfega-Original-500g-9217993

is really good, but too me it sounds a little dangerous for the piggy ?

Anyone got any advice ? or could tell me if this works or not ?

I want a way i can clean it without having to bath them everytime.
 
I have used Swarfega and couldn't get the smell out of my nostrils for days mallethead
Try a tiny bit of washing up liquid diluted in warm water for a quick bum wash, breaks any greasy bits down and any knots/matts can be massaged out too.
Rinse and dry well for lovely silky piggy butts x) :(|)
I only use Fairy original, about a 5p size blob onto a wet hand does the trick with my dirty boys :)
 
stans is very over active, so i put a small amount on and work it in for about ten mins then bum bath and shampoo & rinse and repeat another once or twice x
 
i doubt it would work for stans, but his has been bad, really clumpy. I'm sure Fairy Liquid will smell nicer lol
