How do you clean the product buildup from the brush?

There is almost no buildup because the bristles are smooth and have no ridges to catch hair. What little there is can be removed by reaching across the bristles with a damp cloth, pinching and pulling. That usually does it.

After removing any hair in the bristles, I soaked in a bowl of warm water mixed with a little dish soap (dish soap does an excellent job breaking down oil). I didn't time how long I let it sit but it was probably only 5-10 mins. Then I rinsed it in hot water and let it air dry. I now just rinse it in hot water after I use it and I'm sure I won't have to soak it again. I love how easy it is to keep it clean.

Hi Gee.Ess,If you have buildup in your brush, we recommend you put shampoo on it and run it under water under pressure. As other users have stated, it may also help to let it sit in warm water as well.

I suggest cleaning it after every use so you don't have a buildup. You can also take a damp microfiber cloth (not dripping wet for obvious reasons) and gently wipe between the bristles to remove any product buildup. This is how I cared for my last dryer last for years until it burnt out. Its a fantastic product...I love mine too!

I use water and brush it.. Sometimes I will put a little baking soda on the tip of the brush. Vinegar works too.

Dish soap works best and use cleaning mode. Unless you have an air compressor with a blower attachment. Also an occasional swab with alcohol helps keeps things sanitary too. My face will break out if I don't clean it once a week.

Hi Mandy,We recommend rinsing the bristles with hot water to get any clumped up grease off. This should get your entire brush clean within just a few short minutes.Thanks,Michael "Medium Rare" O'Donnell

I just put a couple drops of baby shampoo in a small Dixie cup, add water, and swoosh the brush around for a few seconds. Then just rinse under running water until clear. It only takes a couple minutes.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

I think if you flip it over to expose the brush there should be some screws that can loosen to remove the plastic opening around the brush. Make sure it's unplugged. Or just pull out the build up of hair etc. by hand.

No Buildup! The new one has a different mechanism to attach the brush head to the base. It eliminates the rattle noise that some heads would give on the older model and it also eliminates all the gunk that builds up under the head's plastic base. I never remove the head for this brush until it is time for replacement and even after several months of daily use there is nothing to clean between heads.

I've used soap and water with regular brushes and foam brushes and it cleaned both with no problem. Just make sure you clean it right away. Don't let it set.

I rincs it thoroughly after using it. Then stick it in the dishwasher. Otherwise, if I need it again before I run the washer, I put soap directly onto the base of the bristles, and just using my fingers lather it around, then rinse and use.

I use the tiny brush from the Munchkin Deluxe Bottle Brush cleaning system. It's small enough to get in there & clean it!

I clean the screw-on tip every time I refill the bottle. I just soak it for a few minutes in a container filled with antibacterial dish soap. This prevents any build up problems. If you already have an accumulation of dirt, I would recommend using a q-tip

I use the brush kit after taking it apart ,it gets into all the small areas where it gets slimy.

I use a comb to scrape out the trapped hair, then dampen a washcloth with my general cleaning solution (I mix 1/3 ammonia with 2/3 water and 1 drop of dish detergent or shampoo) which is like Windex, then wipe the barrel with the washcloth. Have to repeat a couple times with a new area of the dampened washcloth, but it comes off for me.

I use a homemade "Brush Shampoo" of 1/3 vinegar, 2/3 water and a tablespoon of dish soap. The vinegar disinfects and the dish soap does the best job of cleaning the dirt and make-up off the brushes. I like this also because you can make it easily whenever you want. However, many make-up brands do sell their own brush shampoo. I would just make sure that whatever you use is disinfecting in addition to just cleansing of make-up.

Here's how I clean mine: I always soak a cotton ball or a makeup pad with nail polish remover and stroke it with the tip of the brush until all the nail polish has come out of the brush, and then rinse the brush with water. Works the best out of anything else I've tried.
