Review: Very good for Bichon adults and puppies - Very good shampoo to get very dirty Bichons clean. No skin issues and works on puppies and adults. Smell is nice and not overpowering. Especially since I follow up every few shampoos with whitening shampoo and a conditioner. Of course, I bought the big bottle! I’ll have to reorder soon, since I’m almost out!
Review: The best shampoo - Great clarifying shampoo for everyday use in a busy salon. Dilutes well. Smells great. Just don’t use it undiluted as it’s pretty strong and can cause skin irritation. Leaves my clients shiny, soft, and clean smelling.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is Clean Start Shampoo suitable for my dog?**
A: Yes. Clean Start Shampoo is safe and effective for all dog breeds and coat types, leaving the coat fresh, clean, and ready for styling

**Q: Do I need to use another shampoo after using Clean Start?**
A: Clean Start can be used alone, but it is often used prior to use of a specialty shampoo, like White on White, to clean the coat, remove any product buildup, and maximize the performance of the specialty shampoo.

**Q: How often should I use Clean Start Shampoo?**
A: Each dog is different. Generally, use weekly or monthly to deep-clean the coat. For dogs that love mud – use as needed. For exhibitors, use before and after shows to clarify the coat removing product buildup and leftover residues.

A: Yes. It cuts through grime and grease without drying the coat out, leaving them beautifully clean. Use this product on cats, from 8 weeks and older.

Great clarifying shampoo for everyday use in a busy salon. Dilutes well. Smells great. Just don’t use it undiluted as it’s pretty strong and can cause skin irritation. Leaves my clients shiny, soft, and clean smelling.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for all types of skin and coats
*by C***W on June 16, 2025*

This is the best clarifying shampoo for dogs that doesn’t strip their natural oils. I have 4 different breeds of dogs and this is a universal product that works well for all of their skin and coat types. No allergic reactions to the product, well worth the price.
