Tips & Warnings
Clean your brushes at least once a week. This will keep dirt and debris from building.
Wooden bodied, padded and boar's hair brushes should not be submerged in water. Each kind will absorb moisture and can develop mold or mildew. Eliminate the soaking process for these types and stick to using your shampoo to clean.
