    I might be careful soaking the knot beyond the bristles. Bleach is pretty basic (pH) and might have a negative effect on the knots adhesive.
    Ultrasonic cleaners are not terribly expensive (~$30) on The Big Website Named After a South American River.

    Well my wife saved the day,she pointed out we still have a bottle of surgical scrub.So I loaded the brush with that and let it sit for 15 minutes,then rinsed with hot water.I'm gonna let it dry then load it with shave soap to get the hospital smell out.After hearing my howl of anguish the cat has been trying to make up to me all day and being extra cute.

    Dude, i see a lot of overkill methods for this kind of phenomena (just my opinion, I do not want to offend anyone at all)... we are animals, fullfilled of sh**, you will not be harmed by the zoo that occupied your brush before the incident. If you wash your animal-haired brush with bleach or peroxide it will be discolored at least. Water, soap and sun will do the trick. Wash your inanimated object as I told you and let it dry for a week. While it dries, put you cat on you lap and pet the hell out of him... enjoy your cat, man, and relax... soap is enough... do not went paranoid. Hospital biocides have crazy amounts of SDS, synthetic detergents from hell, formaldehyde, methanol etc. A very weak solution of this kind of thing can destroy the plating on the frame and anti-reflex coatings on lenses of sunglasses (empiric observation). Trust the biochemist guy, and do not forget to pet the cat (this is good for both of you, enjoy the endorphins). We are, anyway, coated with bacterial film and they are not a menace for you.
    Do a favor for all of us and avoid spread any kind of biocide on environment... they tend to select the nastiest MFkg bacteria, at the cost of the good ones.
    Take it easy, dude, relax and enjoy... that´s life.

    I agree. A diluted bleach solution to soak the brush, then a soak in warm water with some sort of shampoo. Finally let the brush thoroughly air dry.

    That ought to do the trick.

    Well, I won't even ask what the cat was doing in the John with you.

    Personally I'd trash the whole thing.

    IMO its no big deal just give it a wash with soap and carry on as normal. At the end of the day you will probably get more germs opening doors at work !

    Urine is sterile...just a breeding ground for bacteria after it leaves your body...everyone should invest in a bottle of barbicide....kills anything....and safe to soak equipment in, its what us barbers use.
