By Franny Syufy, About.com

In a large jar mix:

1/4 cup baking soda
1 quart hydrogen peroxide
1 tsp liquid dishwashing detergent

Mix well and pour over the animal's fur, being careful to avoid the eyes and mouth. Let sit for about 20 minutes and rinse well.

CAUTION: Do NOT store this mixture in a covered container. Dispose of all unused mixture immediately. It is a chemical mixture and can create explosive gasses if contained in a covered container.
