How do you wash this wooden brush?

I don't. Merely pull the accumulated hair out of it regularly. Eventually the rubber gets harder and then I buy a new one. I'm on the second one in 22 years. Probably at the end of it's lifespan.

General maintenance is just pulling the hair out it. Washing it will limit the life of the brush, but if you can't stand it - Pull all the hair out of it sliding the end of a comb through the bristles. Suds up some shampoo on a wet wash cloth and gently rub through the bristles. Rinse all the suds off under running faucet and then towel dry it throughly and let the brush lay bristles down for about 24 hours until it's dry. Don't let the brush sit in water or submerge it in the sink.

I just use a dry stiff bristled paint brush. Gets into all the hard to clean spots.

I rincs it thoroughly after using it. Then stick it in the dishwasher. Otherwise, if I need it again before I run the washer, I put soap directly onto the base of the bristles, and just using my fingers lather it around, then rinse and use.

I use water and brush it.. Sometimes I will put a little baking soda on the tip of the brush. Vinegar works too.

I would try a soft bristled brush like a dish scrubber. The instructions say no machine wash but nothing about dry-cleaning, you could always ask your dry cleaner and see what they say. Our local cleaners is always very helpful and won't take anything they don't feel comfortable with returning in a useable state.

The instructions I got say to wash it in cool water and mild soap. I do it by hand, not in the laundry.

Yep -- stuck it in the washer then air dried just a few days ago. Or I sometimes take a kitchen brush to it if it's not too dirty. Works great!

Don't take i apart to clean it, just put hot water & soap in a pan/cup and blend it for a few seconds then rinse and dry (unplug to dry!!).

I have had the same problem no matter what type of brush I used, I swish mine in a little bleach, once in a while, keeps it clean through and through and stays in top condition. Just rinse it well.

I use it on my wood cutting boards because it is so gentle. The soap does not have any detergent. It can also be used to wash natural bristle hair brushes.

I use bleach water. Let it soak for a few minutes and then clean with soft brush.

Well, I don't have these exact brushes but I'll tell you how I clean mine:1) remove all the paint with nail polish remover on a cotton ball2) rinse the brush under water (doing this makes it all soft; if you don't do this it'll dry stiff from the nail polish remover)

Get a small wire brush to scrub it out or leave it submerged in soap and water.

So far I just wash it out with soap and water but plan to run vinegar water thru it soon. Haven't had it that long.

I have washed it many times and it has remained soft. I used to wash it just with baby shampoo. Now I use Dr. Brommers soap. They both cleaned the brush well, and it is still soft for me! I have also heard that if you want to restore some moisture back into your brushes, you can mix some olive oil in with whichever soap you use to condition the brush hairs while you clean them.

I would just put a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid in the palm of my hand and squish the brush back and forth on both sides getting a good lather, then give it a good rinse.
