Abstract In the technology of applying, spraying, or sponging antimicrobially effective amounts of aqueous iodophor peroxide solutions to the udder surfaces of cows, or other animals to be milked prior to milking, the present invention comprises the improvement which avoids iodides and staining which consists essentially of the step of shampooing said udders with a non-staining shampoo containing (a) from about 0.5% to 2% of iodine in a povidone-iodine complex and (b) about 0.5% to 5% of hydrogen peroxide as a nascent oxygen source, said individual components (a) and (b) being combined, with water, at the time of use and having been maintained dry and out of contact with one another in a container or receptacle.
