Groom Professional Luxe Cleanse Grapefruit & Orange Shampoo - 350ML

The Groom Professional Luxe Cleanse Grapefruit and Orange Shampoo is the cleansing member of the brand's newer Luxe line -- sharp citrus to cut through grease and dirt and leave the coat bright.

Key Features

• Grapefruit and orange: Bright, sharp citrus, and good at lifting oil out of a coat
• Deep cleansing: The Luxe range's wash for a properly dirty dog
• Luxe line: Groom Professional's newer premium range, above the everyday shampoos
• All coat types: No particular coat requirement
• Two sizes: 350ml for home use, 4L for a salon
• Made in the UK: Like the rest of the Groom Professional range

How To Use It

• Brush the coat out before it gets wet. Water turns a loose tangle into a solid mat.
• Soak the coat right through with lukewarm water first -- diluted shampoo will not penetrate a dry double coat.
• Work it in from the neck down so the suds run away from the face.
• Leave it on for five to ten minutes. Groom Professional build these to work with a bit of contact time, and rushing the rinse is what wastes the product.
• Rinse until the water runs clear, then towel off and brush the coat as it dries.

How Often To Wash

Most dogs do not need a bath more than once every four to six weeks, and plenty need less. Washing more often strips the oils that keep a coat weatherproof and the skin comfortable, which can leave a dog itchier than it started. Salons wash frequently because they are working to an appointment, not because a dog benefits from it.

Who Makes It

Groom Professional launched in 2009 on the Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland and is sold through the grooming trade supplier Christies Direct. The range was built for working salons rather than for the bathroom cupboard, which is why so much of it comes as a concentrate and in four-litre sizes. Groom Professional say the products are manufactured in the UK.

Good To Know

• This one is out of stock at the moment, so the page is here for reference while we wait on the next delivery.
• This listing previously carried the product description for the Baby Fresh Cologne. It is a grapefruit and orange shampoo.
• Groom Professional have not published a dilution ratio for the Luxe shampoos in the material we have, so follow the instructions on the bottle.
• This is a dog product. Do not use it on a cat unless the label specifically says you can -- cats groom everything off their coat and swallow it, and they handle fragrance and essential oils far less well than dogs do.
• Keep it out of the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Rinse with clean water if any gets in.
• A shampoo cleans; it does not treat disease. Broken, scabby or weeping skin, bald patches, a smell that returns within days of a bath, or scratching to the point of bleeding all need a vet rather than a different bottle.
• Keep it out of reach of children and store it somewhere cool and dry.
