My mum bought my three boys a jar of swarfega for christmas so they can have nice clean bottoms ;D

Only thing is, I'm not sure what to do with it... only use it as bathtime or can it be used other times? how much to use and do I rinse it off afterwards?

They could do with it as they've been making that nasty smell ever since Colin (the 3rd pig) joined us ;D
 
I use swarfege for cleaning the grease gland.

Get the piggie nice and wet, put a blob of swarfega on the gland, leave for a couple of minutes then massage in and rinse off really well. This should take any grease residue off. I then shampoo the rest of the pig as normal! I only use it at bathtime as I do bathe mine fairly often. Hope this makes sense.

Yep ;D ;D ;D

It removes grease, I remember using it as a kid after I'd messed around with my bike chain but apparently it works well removing the gunk from grease glands
