It could mean anything, that said I've never bought a brush that smelled of Milton or Dettol. I still think the best bet is multiple latherings in the soap of your choice, with hot water.I have noticed that brush sellers state that their offering is sanitised. Which would mean what?
Barbicide have an FAQ answer which mentions that:I have noticed that brush sellers state that their offering is sanitised. Which would mean what?
Honestly, there are all sorts of cleaning methods. For old brushes, a bit of dishwashing soap mixed with a teaspoon of olive oil does the trick. I've also had good results with Borax, though some manufacturers say not to use it, as it's considered "too harsh."Jokes aside, what is the harshest treatment brushes could/should be exposed to in order to remove as much trace of previous owner as possible without killing the poor thing? I have bought a few second-hand(++) razors but never a brush and might have one incoming now.
@moodymick have you asked your wife if she cleans her make-up brushes? If she says no, act all disgusted and repulsed. If she says yes, borrow her cleaner.
You ought to threaten to do the same. In fact, I'll dispose of your brushes for you. I'm sure that after three or four £150 brushes, she'll relent.Unfortunately, I do need to ask. She treats 'em in a more disposable manner than I / we buy brushes. If she thinks one is getting dirty or clogged - she just buys more!
Well, it contains 1% bleach and 16.5% common table salt in a solution. Dilute that down at an 1:80 ratio, and you've got yourself a bona fide Milton Sterilizing solution for cleaning baby bottles.What about a cold water sterilising solution? As used for babies bottles.
Hmm.... has anyone ever put a brush in an ultra-sonic cleaner?Ah! but what about the vile and deadly anthrax living deep down amongst the compressed hairs at the bottom of the knot?
Yep but not beyond the handle, washing up liquid.Hmm.... has anyone ever put a brush in an ultra-sonic cleaner?
This is not a suggestion, it's a question.
C'uh! where's your spirit of adventure? It's not as though you'd be short of brushes if it all goes Pete Tong.Yep but not beyond the handle, washing up liquid.
