Yellow tail and Natures Miracle????

honeydoozy · 02-25-2007, 05:40 PM

SO... if it will take urine stains out of carpeting... and it's made up of enzymes (no chemicals)... wouldn't it be logical that Nature's Miracle would be effective in getting yellow tails less... yellow??

The WonderHorse is 4 weeks out from his big debut... and nothing I've tried is getting us even close to being presentable. QuickSilver and Cowboy Magic Shine In Yellow Out are good on the body...but NOTHING seems to work on his tail!!

Thoughts? Ideas?? Anyone??

Hmmmmm... I don't know. Have you ever tried whiteners such as WOW! or Lucky Braids? The WOW! is about the same price as the Lucky Braid's, but you get twice as much. I know that it works well on removing stains on the coat, but I've never used it on a white tail. Whatever you do, DO NOT use bleach or any bleach mixture... my friend and I had it suggested to us (probably about 8 or 9 years ago) and stupid us tried it and ended up with a nasty straw-bleached yellowy tail

To make a long story short, a yellow tail was NOT going to work for us and we ended up dying it with platinum dye and it was much better.

I would wash it with Orvus paste or a good whitening shampoo after dousing it with WOW! and giving it a few minutes to soak in. If that doesn't work, I have heard that Borax works well for whitening (basically Oxy-clean without the name attached

) Good luck!

I wonder if oxiclean would work?

I've got the same issue. We're not doing any shows or anything, but yellow tails just look gross!

Laundry Blueing, I used it on the white socks and feathers of the clyde crosses that I groomed, and it worked (those horses lived out in a paddock/pasture all the time, unless it was the night before a show, and they were always in muck! Cathy

hmmm... the cowboy magic stuff always worked for me.. but there was one time that her tail was realllllly gross.. it was when i first got her and she was at a salebarn for a month or 2 before that... not many people are gunna like this but i used a diluted bleach water mixture and was verrrrry careful to get it on the tailbone or her skin. I let it sit for like 2 mins watching it and holding it out off her body. then i rinsed it real well, shapooed it twice with quicsilver, conditioned it twice, leaving it in for about 10 min, then put in a leave in conditioner and a moisterizing spray. It was blinding white! and i had no problems. no hair loss, no rash, no dry skin or hair, no nothing.

What's IN OxyClean? Is it an enzyme thing or is it chemical?

(it's AWESOME on carpets, but I've never tried it for anything else)

Nature's Miracle isn't a miracle in the least. It's prob the worst product on the market for stain removal

If you wanted to try something along those lines, I'd go with Lambert Kay's Oxy Fresh. It DOES work and works very well. I can attest to Cowboy Magic's Yellow Out working when directions are followed.

Oxi clean works really well !!

I would think oxi clean would work. It's supposed to be all natural (though that definately does not mean safe). And works on the principle of releasing O3 (as opposed to O2 which we breathe) molecules.
