He's only 2 and he used Vick . Boy that woke me up quickly when he snuggled up in bed with me and a great waft of that went up my nose

Have bathed him, washed his hair 4 TIMES and the stuff still wont come out! The house now stinks of the stuff and he is thrilled with himself for being so clever. Shame it smells as actually it's kept his hair looking really nice

Anyone got any ideas on how to get Vick out of hair please?!

Try washing up liquid - or swarfega if you have got any.

Once I have stopped laughing, may think of something practical.

Yes i love the smell too fortunately - though by the end of the day i may not be so keen

Just to say the washing up liquid does work on Vick if anyone else has this particular problem ever! Not very likely Im sure lol
