To clean a back brush effectively, follow these simple steps to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells:
-
Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Fill a bowl with warm water. Add a few drops (around 3) of tea tree oil, known for its disinfectant properties. You can also use a mild soap or shampoo if you prefer.
-
Soak the Brush: Place the brush in the bowl, ensuring the bristles are facing downwards. This allows the water and cleaning solution to penetrate the bristles thoroughly.
-
Agitate and Soak: Gently move the brush around in the water to loosen any accumulated dirt and debris. Let the brush soak for 5-10 minutes. This soaking period helps to dissolve stubborn residue.
-
Rinse Thoroughly: Remove the brush from the bowl and rinse it under clean, running water. Make sure to move the bristles around to remove all traces of the cleaning solution.
-
Dry the Brush: After rinsing, gently shake off any excess water. Then, lay the brush flat on a clean towel or hang it upside down in a well-ventilated area to dry completely. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or using a hairdryer, as this can damage the bristles. Ensuring the brush is completely dry prevents the growth of mold and bacteria.
