my cat pissed on my wig and one of my extensions. I tried cutting out the affected area from the extension, but it still smells funny and now I've ruined one whole extension (and I didnt really have enough to spare!)
any suggestions? I'm just about to shove my cat and the wig through a cusinart.
help! :...( I'm poor I can't afford to buy another wig. can I wash it or something?? with what?? :(!!!!

Date: 2002-06-27 07:55 pm (UTC)Here's what I was taught in class:
Fill up your sink with cold water. Drag your wig though the water until its completely wet.
Then soap your wig up with Shampoo. Don't scrub it, it will only get tangled. Put shampoo on the scalp then drag your fingers down and pretty much pull the shampoo through the hair. Stop and give the hair a squeeze and squeeze the shampoo through too. Don't twist the hair. It will only damage it.
To rinse it, do the same thing that you did to wet it, drag it through the water until most of the soap is washed away. Then turn the fawsett on and rinse the rest out gently.
If the wig is Syntheic, use a fabric softener as your conditioner. Fabreeze (Like gchan suggested:)) Is VERY affective.
Condition your wig like you washed it.
If its real hair, use an actual conditioner.
Lay out a towel. Lay your wig on the towel then wrap the wig up gently and press it dry. After you got most of the wetness out you can dry it. At school we use a wig dryer but my teacher said that its just as affective to use a hair dryer set on cool/lo it jsut takes longer. Don't Over dry it though or you may fry it...then it will look like my hair;)
*L* Anyways, I'm sure this is all too little too late since I JUST read this post.
Hope you get the cat stinkies out!
If not..shave your cat and use THAT to replace your wig;)
