How To Clean A Beard Brush
Learn the proper technique for cleaning a beard brush to maintain its effectiveness and hygiene. Keep your beard looking great with this step-by-step cleaning method.
Equipment
- A large bowl
- Cleaning cloth
- A fine comb
- Water
- Liquid dish soap
- Wood oil (optional)
Instructions
- Gently comb out the hair from the brush. You can use your fingers, too, if you prefer. Try and remove as much hair as possible.
- Standing over a bowl or washbasin, pour soapy water over the bristles.
- Wash the bristles, taking care not to cause damage.
- Rinse the bristles with clean, cool water.
- Shake the brush so any stray water comes off.
- Air dry the brush. (I recommend placing the bristles face down so they dry thoroughly.)
Notes
I recommend cleaning your beard brush weekly for the best results.
If your brush has a wooden handle, you can lightly oil it to protect the finish.
Do not tug on the bristles when combing out the brush to prevent damaging the beard brush bristles.
