Would it work with just plain water or is it better with some dog shampoo?

I've used it with both dog shampoo and water and I find plain water just as good as adding a couple drops of shampoo. Hope they helps! It's really amazing how clean this product gets the paws!

Plain water will still get the job done but I have on occasion used a drop or two of Dawn dish soap depending on how muddy their feet are. I'm sure dog shampoo works just as well if not better.

I only use it with plain water. I suppose you could use shampoo, but you'd have to rinse every time.

I've only used plain water, and it works very well. This thing has been such a lifesaver since we've had all the rain and snow the past couple weeks.

If it is just dirt or light mud, water should work. I add some soap when one of the dogs steps in poop and it works great.

It works well with just water, some foamless shampoo I guess would work but I only used water

Plain water works great, but adding just a little shampoo would be even better. I'd suggest rinsing after the shampoo, which would obviously add another step though. I LOVE my paw plunger!

I guess you could try if you are ok with not liking it and losing the money. I have used mine several times to wash my car and every time I put the shampoo in the container it never mixes with the water and comes out. At the end 95% of the shampoo is still in the container so it doesn't work well for that. Also the plastic is cheap with little cracks in it so when you are using it the water is leaking out from different spots and you get wet from that. A friend bought one of these from the home shopping network and it was great, I had used it myself. Once found out the home shopping network didn't sell them anymore I found it here and thought since it's the same thing, same brand that it would be the same. I ordered 2. One was not useable from day 1 and the other one doesn't work very well. Sprays water (with leaks through out) and does not spray the shampoo out of the container.

I use it to make no poo shampoo. It doesn't suds like traditional shampoo. In liquid form it has to be refrigerated or you can make powdered version but I find that's kinda messy every time it's used. I boil mine in 2c water add xanthan gum and then add a few drops choice EO. Refrigerate for upto about 2wks. My hair has grown ALOT since I've used it. About 11 months ago I had very short pixie haircut and now my hair is almost right above my tush in length and thicker. I can't promise this will happen for everyone but it worked for me. I also use soap berries for laundry. Some use it as a hand soap or to wash dishes with.

No, this shampoo won't lather like regular shampoo. It is similar to the "wen" shampoo, thought much cheaper. It is a basic 3:1 mix of conditioner and shampoo. The first time I used it I thought the same thing. You don't need much of the product to wash your hair. I have shoulder length hair and use 1-1.5 pumps for my entire head. What I do like is having no more tangles when I go to comb through my wet hair.

you would need to use a very mild dilution if you were not going to rinse...it is a good sudsing soap!

Yes, it works outside. It says to use their bubble fluid, but watered down baby shampoo works nicely as well.

Yes plain water is useful. No chemical liquid needed when cleaning tablets, phones, etc. The clothes are washable. Hope this helps.

It's just water with a touch of very mild detergent. No smell and no residue.

The instructions mention nothing about using with a shampooer. I've never read of anyone using it that way and I never have either.

You can buy their specialized liquid or you can use plain water with just a little dish soap mixed in. Both work well.

U can use just plain water or for tougher messes use a very small amount of your cleaner mixed with water to dilute it.

Works best with water. It isn't slippery without water and therefore isn't very fun if dry.

There is a cleaning fluid that should be used with the machine. Plain water can work but will not be as effective.

I wouldn't add conditioner if you are new to using this. Give this a chance to work on its own. Im assuming your dog has skin problems. Let the problems go away and then add conditioner. This shampoo doesn't dry out my dog's fur or skin.

No, I didn't have that problem? I mixed with water and washed my pet's irritated areas with a wash towel. Even when you dilute with water it's still very soapy. You can use more water if you like, for example a tablespoon of soap to two cups of water. Once the irritated area is cleaned rinse wash towel with water and pat the soap off. Don't rub as it may hurt your pet's irritated area. Use warm water, so it's comfortable. I've even used it as a shampoo during my pet's bath (just one lathering) then her dog shampoo as the second lathering. This is my go to soap for all of my pet's skin issues, didn't have to put her on medications from the vet. No, I didn't have that problem?

Hello, you can use plain water but be sure it is distilled or RO water. We do however recommend record cleaning fluid made for vacuum record cleaning machines. We have many different types available. Let us know how we can help. Regards, Dan Dedicated Audio
