With both my kitties, i clean the discharges found at the nose and eyes areas with a moistened (*warm water) q-tip several times a day.

They are both white in color. So, it is hard to "camouflage" dirt.

i use "sno sho" shampoo to bathe them, and it helps to remove any stains on their bodies, if any. i think it is vital to remove any stains on your kitty rightaway.

i think it helps to groom your kitty on a regular basis. Just my thought!


Take care! <3

Cheers!

I clean my seven persian cats' eyes with a weak boric acid solution twice per day and this prevents staining. There is a commercial product called Bright Eyes that is a boric acid solution. Just spray it onto cotton wool and wipe the eyes. Dry the area with a tissue because dry hair attracts less dirt than wet hair. By cleaning under their eyes twice a day, you won't get any staining. This does not harm the cat in any way, does not sting the eyes and is completely safe.
