It is just tear stains. You can wipe with france free pampers baby wipes, about twice a day, and they will lighten and soon go away..
Dog tears and saliva both have enzymes that will turn the hair a reddish brown. It does it in all dogs, it's just so much more noticeable in the white ones.
I don't know of any product that will remove stains with just one application.
However, there is a home remedy that is very good, but you must be very careful around the eyes, and don't get it IN the eye.
Mix "Milk of Magnesia" and corn starch into a very thick paste. It will be crumbly. Mix enough hydrogen peroxide with this mixture to make it the consistency of toothpaste. With a cotton swab, apply mixture to affected area and let dry, then brush away.
As with all tear stain removal, this should be done daily until the stain is bleached out. Good luck!

There are several different types of eye problems with drainage or discharge that can affect dogs (google dog health care), and there are several different eye washes you can buy to clean around your dogs eyes, but what we use is a small amount of baby shampoo diluted with water and a clean cloth and just gently cleansing from the inner aspect of the eye to the outer side. If you do this regularly it will keep the matter from building up and irritating the dogs eyes.

That red goop might just be eye discharge or it may be something more serious. If it is eye discharge ( a little is fine) just wipe it off with a damp cloth. I'm not such discharge is suppose to be red. You might wanna get that checked out.

It's probably tear stains. There are some tear stain treatments that you can buy at pet stores that applied over time can help get rid of them. To help prevent them you need to clean the area twice a day with mild soap. You can also help prevent tear stains with dinovite. It has helped alot with my dog.

It's eye snot. Wipe it off gently. If there seems to be too much and is itself red, better have a vet check it out. Some is normal, a lot is not. Cloudy white snot is normal.

this could be a very vast project with this breed. be sure you trim all the hair far off from her eyes or shop it pulled up. next, those eyes are contaminated, take her to the vet and get the meds to handle her or she would be ready to flow blind.
