Combs and Brushes: Clean Them in 5 Easy Steps

tips for cleaning brush, hairbrush cleaning tips, comb cleaning tips How to Clean Combs and Brushes in 5 Easy Steps.

These hair-tamers should be cleaned weekly with a five-minute soak in very hot water (at least 131 degrees F) with a squirt of shampoo in it. Here's how to keep these mane-tamers clean.

1 Prepare the bathroom sink.

The sink works best for this both because it's close and because it's small. Fill with hot water.

2 Add shampoo.

The winning combination of shampoo and hot water can kill even notoriously tenacious interlopers such as lice.

3 Prepare hairbrushes by gently removing any caught lint or hair lingering in the bristles.

Use either your fingers to remove as much surface hair as possible.

4 Immerse in soapy hot water.

You'll want to let them sit for at least five minutes. If the handle is plastic or another material that can't withstand the heat, soak only the bristles. You can do this by filling a cup only to the height of the bristles.

5 To dry, shake off excess water and lay flat on a clean towel.

If it needs to be used right away, grab a blow dryer and blow it clean and dry.
