The best way to extend the life of your combs and brushes is to take care of them. When your hair tools get all gunky after a while, it can be tempting to just toss them in the trash and replace them with new ones. But that isn’t necessary! You can just clean them and bring them back to fresh, clean life again.
To clean your brush (or comb), first remove as much hair as possible from the bristles. Then create a solution of warm water with a healthy splash of Listerine and a good shake of baking soda. Mix all together and let soak for 30 minutes. Rinse with clean water.

This sounds like a great idea! I will have to try it. Is it all right to use this cleaning technique on boar’s bristle brushes?
To be honest, I’m really not sure!! TO be safe, I would probably check with the manufacturer on an expensive brush.
What a great idea! Thanks!
Hmm. I would have never thought of that but your brush looks brand new. I have to have my Daughter try that with her brush! thanks..
