Hydra X-Treme Ultra Deep Cleansing Shampoo 5 L (4:1)

Professional deep cleansing pre-wash shampoo for extreme dirt

Hydra Groomers X-Treme Shampoo is a specialized professional pre-wash shampoo developed specifically for the most demanding cleaning tasks. This is NOT an everyday shampoo but a powerful, deep cleansing formula that removes stubborn dirt, accumulated cosmetic residues, excess sebum and prepares the coat for professional grooming procedures. Particularly effective on hand-stripped, wire-haired and extremely dirty animals.

Pre-wash function – the foundation of professional grooming

The primary role of X-Treme Shampoo is pre-washing (clarifying wash), which is a critical step in professional coat care. Pre-wash shampoo has higher alkalinity than traditional cleansing shampoos, effectively opening hair cuticles and penetrating deep into hair structure. This enables removal of: Previous shampoos, conditioners, sprays and styling product residues. Natural sebum build-up that weighs down the coat. Environmental pollutants, dust, mud, wax. Mineral deposits from hard water. Any layer preventing effective absorption of new cosmetics.

Deep cleansing action – thorough coat cleaning

The formula's special surfactant system (Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate combination) provides extremely effective cleansing power. This combination can emulsify and remove even the most stubborn dirt while maintaining skin protection. Deep cleansing is particularly important in the following cases: Show grooming preparation – provides completely clean base for further treatments. Hand-stripped breeds – removes accumulated wax and oil from wire coat. Pre-clipping bathing – ensures clipper blades don't slip. Before color treatment – guarantees even color uptake. Extremely dirty coats – thoroughly cleans neglected coats.

Volume increase and texture improvement

A unique property of X-Treme Shampoo is that while deep cleansing, it simultaneously increases coat volume and improves texture. The coat literally "lifts" due to the weight of removed build-up. This is particularly important for: Hand-stripped breeds (terrier, schnauzer) – wire coat regains natural stand. Dense-coated breeds (poodle, bichon, chow-chow) – achieves maximum volume. Double-coated dogs – undercoat stands freely. Before hand stripping – hair is easier to grip and pull.

Mint extract (Mentha Piperita) – skin softening and soothing complex

Mint extract contains natural polyphenols that exert multiple effects: Skin softening effect – softens harder skin surfaces, especially between paw pads. Soothing property – reduces post-bathing irritation or itching. Cooling sensation – provides pleasant, refreshing effect on skin. Antimicrobial activity – helps reduce bacteria count on skin. Hydration – promotes moisture retention despite powerful cleansing. Acne reduction – particularly beneficial for oily-skinned breeds.

Clipping and styling preparation

X-Treme Shampoo is ideal for pre-clipping preparation: Clean, dry coat – blades glide easier, don't stick. Even clipping results – no areas where build-up causes poor cutting. Longer blade life – clean coat wears blades less. More precise cutting lines – clearer results during styling and trimming. Better texture – hair is easier to grip during hand stripping and plucking.

4:1 concentrated formula – powerful active ingredient content

The 4:1 dilution ratio means one liter of shampoo equals 5 liters of ready-to-use product. This higher concentration is necessary to achieve powerful cleansing effect. Precise formula dilution is critical – overly concentrated application can dry out skin, while overly diluted form won't achieve adequate cleaning results.

Citrus, peach, rose, chamomile and sandalwood fragrance

X-Treme Shampoo offers a sophisticated, multi-layered scent: Citrus – fresh, clean notes, energizing effect. Peach – fruity sweetness, soft character. Rose – floral elegance, sophistication. Chamomile – soothing, natural aromas. Sandalwood – warm, woody base tone, long-lasting effect. The fragrance composition is not too strong, leaves pleasant freshness behind.

CRITICALLY IMPORTANT: Usage limitations

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR FREQUENT USE! Due to X-Treme Shampoo's powerful cleansing effect, MINIMUM 15-20 DAYS required between applications. This is critical because: Higher pH value can dry out skin with frequent use. Excessive cuticle opening makes hair shafts vulnerable. Natural sebum production balance is disrupted. Skin's natural protective layer cannot properly regenerate. Repeated deep cleansing can cause irritation in sensitive-skinned animals.

PROPER USAGE SCENARIO: Use X-Treme Shampoo as pre-wash, then continue bathing with normal pH Hydra shampoo (Moisturizing, Whitening, Volumizing, etc.) and finish with Hydra conditioner. This ensures perfect results without damaging coat or skin.
