Begin by wetting the bristles under lukewarm water, avoiding the ferrule (metal part) to prevent loosening the glue. Dispense a small amount of cleanser onto your palm or cleansing mat.

Gently swirl the brush in the palm of your hand or on the cleansing mat, working the cleanser into the bristles. Rinse thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.

For stubborn residue, perform a deep clean by soaking brushes in a mixture of water and cleanser for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.

To maintain brush shape during drying, consider using brush guards or a drying rack. Ensure brushes are completely dry before storing them to prevent mould and mildew.

Gently squeeze out excess water using a clean towel, reshaping the bristles as needed. Lay brushes flat on the towel to air dry, ensuring they're not left upright to prevent water from seeping into the ferrule.

For quick fixes between deep cleans, use a brush cleaner spray or makeup wipes to remove excess product from brushes.

Store brushes upright in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup. Avoid storing brushes in sealed containers, as this can promote bacterial growth.
