Dang, I had no idea. Guess I'll have to keep mine just for my hair.

However, it's great at getting blood out of materials such as couch cushions (thanks hub-a-dub) or bath mats (thanks Meesha and your turbo-tail).

Yes and no. I use it from time to time to help take the "yellow" out of my grey. However, if it gets on any of my dark hair, it will lighten it just a little. It's what "Sun In" is made out of. Once it's on your hair you can either go out in the sun or use a hair dryer to "activate" it. I can tell you Sun In smells much better! LOL!

I learned about this from a piercer. Drug store gun slingers generally send kids home with peroxide, but proper needle piercers (good ones, anyway) are very strict about avoiding it. 

I have another question about cleaning, though....I've soaked a soft cloth in warm damp water and pressed it very gently to the incision to try to clean up some dried seepage, but I don't want to rub (he's only a day post op),and it doesn't seem to have much affect. Is it ok to just leave it? There's not tonnes. I can post a picture if that helps...

Thanks 🙂

I think I'm just over-protective. It was mostly from day one, following his restless night. I don't have a follow up until stitches are removed in two weeks, but it's definitely not puss-y or smelly or coloured. 

I worked as a helping hand for a vet for two years and he always recommended to even leave dried seepage where it is, as long the incision doesn't require any cleaning cause of any infection - then your vet should give you instructions how to care of it.

Scabs might look like something that should get soaked up and removed, but in fact it's a great shield against bacteria sneaking in and it will fall off from alone as soon new skin is building up under it.

Jimmi's incision looked crusty due to natural discharge drying up after a few days. The vet said as long there is no excessive dried blood, reddening, swelling or bad odor this is part of the healing process.

Two days later, after Jimmi was sleeping in bed, I found a finger-long piece of scab on the sheets. It had fallen off and revealed a smooth thin pink line, a sign that everything is healing perfectly. I just needed to be patient.

The shaved area around the incision  I once cleaned with a wet wash cloth cause it had some spots of dried discharge that still resulted from the surgery. But most of it Jimmi cleaned himself.

I don't know about dogs, but that cat's saliva is full of bacteria is a myth. Of course they shouldn't nibble excessively on the wound, but briefly licking over it when they groom themselves won't automatically cause an infection.
