You got to get rid of it the faster, the better.

And you got to make a fresh batch of this stuff each time you need it because it doesn't keep well.

So you take this mixture, you scrub it thoroughly into your pet's fur or your...

face, whatever the problem is.

You've got to avoid eyes and mouths.

And then you rinse yourself or the pet and you repeat the process if you need to.

And Ted notes that this remedy may lighten your pet's fur, but it'll do wonders for reducing the stink.

And also everyone loves a makeover.

So there you go.

Once again,

a quart or about a liter of 3% hydrogen peroxide, a third of a cup baking soda, and a little dish soap, a tablespoon, right?

Mix those up, go to town.

Good luck.

And also I always ask first the worst thing and then the best thing about people's jobs.

And I don't know, I kind of accidentally did it out of order, but I wanted to make sure that Ted had a chance to say what his favorite was.

So I shot Ted a note about what he loves the most in his work.

And he said, the play part is accurate.

Doing science is like going out to play.

I love being able to explore how and why these amazing animals have evolved such powerful defenses.

I love being able to explore how and why these amazing animals have evolved such powerful defenses and being able to mentor and study alongside fantastic and enthusiastic young minds.
