The bristles of your dry body brush need to be washed depending on how often you use it. It should be weekly if you use it daily or every 2-3 weeks if you use it occasionally.
FOR IN-BETWEEN USES
- You can spray with a tea tree oil solution.
- Mix 1 part tea tree oil, and 2 parts water into a spray bottle.
- Spray the bristles after each use and lay down to dry.
CLEANING THE BRUSH
- Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. (ie level to just to half of the bristles)
- Add three drops of tea tree oil to the water.
- Place the brush into the bowl of water moving the bristles around to rinse the dead cells and dirt.
- Soak it for a few minutes.
- Repeat with a clean bowl of warm water to rinse.
- Shake the excess water from the brush.
- Lay the brush face down (bristles down) onto a dry towel. Let it air dry. (not in direct sunlight) You want the bristles to dry properly because bacteria growth can occur when it’s damp.
Note: The wood base should not come into contact with water when cleaning your dry brush. This may cause it to crack or rot.
