How do people clean this brush? (as it is wood I'm assuming it isn't good to soak it) Thanks!

I don't think soaking is a good idea. I never cleaned my last Widu brush, but I rarely use hair styling products that cause sticky build up or residues on brushes. If I were to clean a Widu brush, I would use a mild soap, water and a cloth to clean it.

There is no reason to soak it. just remove the lose hair with your fingers.

I just rinse it out with hot water and a brush. How else would you do it? Not in the dishwasher for sure.

It was a gift so in not sure how hard it is to clean. We are just entering grill season here in New England. Personally, I would recommend a brush similar to what you use on the grill after it cools and then a rinse off in addition to always spraying it with Pam spray.

I used it with water based enamel paint. I cleaned the brush in warm water until rinse water ran clean.

I clean it with soap & water, with a plain water rinse after that (not even after every use, depending on what I have used it for). I also wipe it down once in a while with the mineral oil. I've had this board for quite a while now, I use it daily & it is still as beautiful as the day I received it. The mineral oil really helps keep it clean.

I haven't and I've had mine a year now. I cleanse the brushes with a brush spray after every use and deep clean mine twice a month with baby shampoo. Beware tho...all brushes will lose bristles if u saturate glue area. I never wet more than the bristles and air dry laying flat so no water gets into the glued area. Hope this helps

We usually let it soak for awhile and then use a bottle brush (I still have a baby bottle brush that I use) and that has worked great! Hope that helps.

It's a clear liquid, a little oily. Squirt it on a damp cloth and polish furniture & wood. Then wipe again with a dry cloth. It makes the wood beautiful.

I always let it soak in warm soapy water. You can use powdered stainless steel cleaner. Works great. Mine looks like new and I use it often. Hope this helps.

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've never tried a brush. I just clean every once in a while by running a mixture of vinegar & water thru a cycle -- or sometimes use soda instead of vinegar. I would think the vinegar solution would clean out the residue. Just run another cycle with clear water after using the vinegar solution.

The most I've ever done for mine is to make sure I rinse it thoroughly with hot water after each use, making sure that all of the cleanser that I used is rinsed out completely. After that, I squeeze it and hang it to dry. I also agree with the first poster that a mild soap or vinegar should work as well. Also, something to consider is that the bristles are supposed to be naturally antimicrobial according to the company. As a side note, I've also been wondering how often the brush should be replaced if anyone has any thoughts on that.

Hello I wash it in an empty sink so any flour will go down the drain and i use a soft abrasive pad to remove any flour stuck on it then rinse and dry with towel not sure if you put it in a sink of water to soak if wood will absorb water and possibly warp when it drys hope this helps

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

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

Can you see up into your chiminny? How long have you burned in it? Last time it was swept clean? Are you only burning cured/dry wood?If you have not had it cleaned by a pro for years.. now might be maybe that time? I bought a brush and rods to do mine myself.Also, is it a fireplace or a woodstove?

Doesn't hurt it to clean with whatever cleaner of your choice and a soft brissled brush, just make sure you don't get water in the handle (battery compartment) and make sure you dry it thoroughly.
