I have a concern about washing hair down the sink. Aside from washing it outside, is there another way to clean the hair off of the brush after use?

We have not had problems with our drains clogging from cleaning the brush. Usually, we pull the excess fur off the brush by hand and then wash out the brush.

I do not throw the cat hair down the sink. It is very easy to pick off the brush as it forms a strand that it easily taken off.

I too have no trouble just cleaning the bristles by hand. The bristles are so short it really shouldn't be a problem, then wash after.

I hope the product description is vague rather than encouraging people to rinse pet fur down the drain! I find the fur pulls away easily. The only thing you need to wash down the drain is the pet dander caught in the brush's bristles.

The bristles are short. As you brush, the hair is gathered in a string or clump and is easily pulled off and thrown away. Very little stays on the brush. I love it.

I've never washed/rinsed it with water. I use my fingers to remove the hair from the brush. It's quick and easy.

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!

There are specialized brush soap you can buy at make up stores or you do a home remedy. I wash my brushes with regular hair shampoo and then conditioner.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

I clean mine in a two-step process, which is manual, not automated. After removing the head, tap gently on the side of the sink. Then I take a can of compressed air (bought at Fry's) and spray both the base, and the head until the 'gaps' between the mesh are clear. It's a little work, but it seems to work better than the supplied brush.

No and no. Like in the picture on the box, the brush comes with a flat ended handle, rinse your brush out well, squeeze out the excess water, don't pull or rub (don't want to lose bristles) and stand it on it's end. No need to rinse out the bowl and roap from excess lather, it will wait for the next use.

I don't put it in the dishwasher - I wash it with soap and water in the sink. This seems to work very well.

I just run my hands over the bristles quickly and lightly or use a vacuum hose. Don't wash it. You don't want the ends of the bristles to tangle or knot.

What I was told was to put alcohol on a paper towel and wipe the comb after every time I drag it through hair. Also rinse often under running water in the sink.

That's a great question! I've only cleaned excess hair from the brush using a comb, but have not tried soaking it in a solution. However, dipping it in hot, soapy water, a quick once-over with an old wash cloth and a rinse works great! The need for this is very rare though.

There is a little brush included in which you can brush away the little hairs into a garbage can. I do it after every use just to keep it clean all the time. Very simple. I wipe it down with a damp paper towel, too. I guess you're supposed to oil it now and again and that is also included however I haven't done that yet since it's so new.

Yes it can be reused - that's what I do. I pull it out of the drain, pull off the gobs of hair and replace it. If that's too gross for you wear gloves or throw it away.

You should be fine, just remember to use the brush as your rinsing soap off. It hurts a bit if you start scrubbing away without running water on your scalp.

Wipe down with a wet wash cloth or paper towels. Spray off with the sink sprayer if needed and let dry. Its easy clean up.

I empty any excess water after using it. I wash the outside with dish soap and warm water, then dry with a microfiber towel. If necessary, use Cameo, a stainless steel cleanser.

I've used soap and water with regular brushes and foam brushes and it cleaned both with no problem. Just make sure you clean it right away. Don't let it set.

Soak your brush in hot sink for a couple minutes. Remove brush from sink and let excess water drip from bristles. Swirl brush in the soap until brush is well charged. Maybe 50 swirls in the soap bowl. You can then continue creating lather in your shave bowl or directly face lather until you find the right consistency. Add a few drops of water to your shave bowl to make more lather or barely dip the tip of your brush in the sink to make more lather if you chose not to use a bowl and prefer to face lather. It lathers wonderfully with little effort.
