Hi, I am considering buying these brushes and I was wondering if the travel pouch can be washed to remove the odor? If so how?? Thank you so much.

These make up brushes are wonderful, as far as the pouch I just left it air out sprayed it with fabreeze and it is all good now.!!!!

Just to add to P.Tran's answer, you may try adding a 1/2 tsp of white vinegar in a sink of water for the final rinse to get rid of odor.

I wash mine with regular hand soap and soft bristle toothbrush then air dry it. You can use Dr. Bronner's also. It gets rid of makeup stains better.

I just bought mine and turns out the majority of the bad smell upon unpacking it had settled into the removable velour pillow case. Washing the case immediately and letting the pillow itself continue to air near a window really helped to make it usable the first night. It had a faint, noticeable smell again by the next morning, but nowhere near as bad as when first opened. More airing and changing pillow cases every day the first few days should eliminate the remaining odor fairly quickly.

Couple of things; one the wash cloths seem to get all the gunk you can never get off over time. Also, if you have ever used a hotel wash cloth, it is like sandpaper and my skin is very sensitive so I don't know what kind of soap they use. No it does not exfoliate like the brush, I have one of those and do that once a week. I love, love, love my Mitt!

Do NOT wash the whole pillow! You can take the covers off and wash them if you like, but I would suggest putting all four pillows outside in the fresh air for a day, that should eliminate the smell, it worked for my two. Or you can put them one at a time in the dryer on air only with a dryer sheet, but I preferred to just let the fresh air and sun do the job.

I have not had to clean it yet. I wash the cans - anything that is dirty before placing them in the bag. I guess t would use a brush or damp cloth.

I suppose it gets as dirty as you let it. I rinse the brush head after every use, and also run water over the power unit, and dry it. Every couple of weeks I soak the brush heads in hydrogen peroxide, something that should be done with every toothbrush. The power unit is waterproof. I have washed it twice a day for about six years and it works fine, so that's not a problem. But, that means the batteries are sealed; you cannot replace them. Expect to buy another unit at some point. We like them so much I will not hesitate.) I hope this answers your question.

Well I toss mine in a washer and (hang to air dry) or put it in a dryer and it seems to come out just fine. But you can always hand wash it with a brush and some water and a little bit of soap and let it air dry either way would be fine but go with what you think would be best. These podpacks are pretty durable and last a decent period of time. Hope that answers your question, happy paintballing! :)

I have an original one of these, 100% wool and I put it in the washer constantly on gentle cycle, cool water! hang to dry. I got rid of the "oily" smell in one wash. I wash ALL my woolens, even my cashmere, in an appropriate soap for woolens. They come out beautifully! Dry cleaner fluid damages wool. Wool is from sheep, they stand out all day in the rain...the only thing you should not do with wool is heat or high agitation, which will felt the wool. BTW, my seller told me there was no order as well, they must not have a nose on their faces, the odor is overwhelming right out of the box!

If there was, I didn't notice it. We use them for our rentals and I haven't noticed any odors from them since we bought them months ago. If there is an odor, you can just wash it before you use it.

You can use it right out of the packaging, but some people prefer to wash it first to removing any packaging odors there may be. This is only optional and not required. Hope this helps.

Hi, this bag was a gift to my mom when I bought it.I did see the bag for myself and the quality of the nylon is superb and my suggestion is just to wipe any area that gets dirty with a wet towel and perhaps a dab of Dawn or soap.In my opinion, I would not machine wash this bag because it would loose its form.Hope I was able to answer your question.Have a great day!!!!! :))

You can remove the outer covering and toss it in the wash. Or you could try to vacuum it. The smell on mine dissipated in a little over a week. So you have to deal with it for now. The more you "re-fur" it, the sooner it stops smelling weird.

No I have not. I have washed all of my brushes many times. I have never had that problem.

I wouldn't try putting it in the washer. All you need to do is wipe them with a soapy cloth, & then wipe with a clean, damp cloth & there is no lingering hair odor.

Dan, I have found that soaking the brush in hot water and dishwashing detergent first helps. You're right, simply trying to handwash it right away doesn't work. I've found that using the brush to "wash" out a small dish with detergent works. It's worth the trouble; this is the best basting brush I've ever used.

I rinse mine with water and Dawn dish soap and then wash later with Gain and put vinegar in the bleach dispenser cup of my washer. Never had a problem with odor.

When you wash these kinds of things, you should be very gentle and use either brush cleaner or a mild antibacterial hand soap. I haven't had any problems, and I think they're just as good as the $10 ones at the store.
