Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Remove any trapped hair from brushes and combs.

Step 2
Place the brushes and combs into a ziplock bag or small container and pour in Universal Cleaner until all items are covered. Avoid overfilling to save solution.

Step 3
Leave to soak for around five minutes.

Step 4
Pour the used cleaner down the sink and wipe each item with a fresh Universal Cloth to remove loosened oils and residue.

Step 5
Rinse thoroughly under a cold water tap.

Step 6
Re-wipe each brush or comb with the clean side of the Universal Cloth until dry.

Pro tip

Clean your brushes and combs every fortnight to prevent oil and product build-up transferring back to freshly washed hair.
