When she moved on to Trixie’s fur, she took care to keep the harsh lye soap away from her face and any open cuts. Not something that she normally used, it was excellent for cleaning tough-to-remove stains. While for the bulk of her fur, working up a lather and then rinsing it out was a perfectly effective strategy, she needed to exercise more care near sensitive skin. For that, she used a washcloth clamped in her teeth, working carefully around the delicate spots.
