How do you keep these brushes from shedding..?

I have two sets of these brushes and haven't had an issue with shedding. Make sure you clean them often and let them air dry.

Hi! Is it all the brushes or just the large brush? My fan brush shedded a lot but I didn't have issues with any of the others. With the large brushes you can literally brush them with a hair brush to free the loose bristles and then shake them firmly a few times. If its ALL the brushes, you might have gotten a bad batch. I would suggest contacting Amazon or Shany to see about a replacement set or refund. Hope this helped!

These are great brushes (I have two - bought one for my husband who didn't like it), but they take FOREVER to dry when you wash them. When it's warm, I put them outside on a fowl on the patio table. In the winter, be prepared for at least overnight drying. It can take awhile to get the soap out of the pad also. Use a comb or smaller brush to clean out the hairs. I finally had to throw one away just today as the balls had come of the plastic bristles, but it took a long time for that to happen.

Mine stay clean by just good vacuuming or wiping them with a mild detergent. I would wash them in cold water if you put them in the washing machine. air dry.

I am not sure how you can get the replacement brushes..... I clean the brushes on mine everytime I'm done using it so I hope that will prolong the brushes to last longer. I bet a email to Shark will get you some answers.

I usually try not to use nail polish with the brushes because it'll stiffen but when I do, I use a little bit of pure acetone or regular nail polish remover (I recommend using regular nail polish remover instead of pure acetone because it's too strong for the brushes). I dip the brush into a little bowl that I use a lot and wipe it on a paper towel until it doesn't have any color showing. Then I let it air dry and at the same time I rub the brush bristles so that it won't be hard for the next time that I use it. Do not soak them again! Lol.

I would agree with DesertDweller. If your brushes are too long you could pull them down to protect the bristles but you may be happier with a pouch or wrap made for brushes.

Lost a few bristles, as the most brushes. Very important to keep the brush on stand (or use something else, but bristles must be down) to prevent shedding.

So sorry to hear you have bristles falling out! We have had our brush since Christmas and it's held up great!

We have just used a soft brush to keep them clean. They could be scotch guarded if you think it is necessary. We don't have young children. I hope this helps you

Brushes have a life span. If you overuse them they do wear out. I have had this equipment for years and have had no issues with the brushes or pads.

Mine few over cord I accidentally leave out just fine. I think there are even sensors designed to stop the brushes and just drive over the cords without trying to suck them up.

Hi Diana, I don't recall any problems with shedding with the 3 we own. I would suggest keeping them for the 30 day money back period and evaluate then. Ours were purchased many years ago and are still like new. I have never had any complains about the quality as other reviewers of most recent time seem to have reported. I wonder if the quality has decreased? One thing to know thought is that the ones we have are the Snuggfleece Original, not the more economy version.

Believe it or not, they are. I find that they are very actually pretty stiff (with the exception of the fan brushes) and thick. I have had them for a couple of weeks now and I have had no shedding problems. Especially for the price, these are very good quality brushes. Hope that helps

I soak mine in hot soapy water, rinse with hot water, then put them in the dishwasher, lol. Not sure what kind of brush could be used. Maybe push a paper towel in one end with a skewer & run it out through the other side? I hope this helps!

I've them a few months and the bristles are still intact. It seems to me that bristles coming out - and on the first day - is neither normal or acceptable. I have a quite old (and cheap) bristle brush with the bristles being pushed back into the brush, as if whatever's holding them to the base has let go - but they do not fall out, even if the brush is somewhat useless now because only the topmost part of the bristles show. However, the Spornettes are fine and seem quite sturdy.
