How to Clean an Epilator

1. Sweep out any excess hair using a thin brush. Most epilators will come with one, but if not, you need one about the size of a small artist paintbrush.
2. Use a compressed gas duster to rid your epilator of hair. These are the "can of air" products that are generally used to clean a computer. They are also great at blasting out any excess hair that is left over from your brush. Using the straw attachment will help you get down into the epilator making the hair removal process even easier.
3. Once you remove all excess hair from your epilator, use a cotton ball dampened with rubbing alcohol to wipe at the tweezers. Make sure you rotate the tweezers to ensure all are clean.
4. Allow your epilator to thoroughly dry. Once your epilator is dry, you can replace the cap. Keeping the cap on it will keep the epilator free from dust or debris until the next use.
