How do you clean a foot brush?

To clean a foot brush, you can use a simple scrub or a more thorough bleach solution. Here's how:

Routine Cleaning

• Remove Debris: After each use, dislodge any loose hairs, skin cells, or soap residue from the bristles.
• Scrub Regularly: Once in a while, use a nail brush, scrub brush, or old toothbrush to remove any buildup.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the brush under warm running water to remove loosened debris.
• Dry Properly: Lay the foot brush flat with the scrubbing side down to dry completely. This prevents moisture buildup and bacterial growth.

Deep Cleaning (Bleach Solution)

If your foot brush needs a deeper cleaning, especially if it shows signs of mold or mildew, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Solution: Fill a glass or bowl with warm water and add 1 tablespoon of bleach.
2. Soak the Brush: Submerge the foot brush in the bleach solution.
3. Soak Time: Let the brush soak for a couple of hours to disinfect it.
4. Scrub Again: After soaking, use a nail brush or old toothbrush to scrub the bristles thoroughly. This helps to remove any remaining dirt or debris.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the foot brush under running water until all traces of bleach are gone. Make sure there is no soapy or slippery feeling left.
6. Dry Completely: Lay the foot brush flat with the scrubbing side down to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the bristles.

By following these steps, you can keep your foot brush clean and hygienic for continued use.
