Thread: Poorly Brush :(

Hi!

I accidentally left my poor brush in my soapy lathery goodness over night. Now it's looking a bit sorry for itself. Does anyone have any tips on how to get my badger friend back to it's original good health?

Thanks

You can try washing it in shampoo followed by conditioner. Good luck.

Thanks. I'll try that now!

That worked really well, thanks. It's not 100% but it's much better! Maybe I will try again tomorrow.

Are u hanging it upside down to dry?

Yep. There's slight mis colouring, and it looks really dry though.

Fill cup up with oxi clean and water let the brush soak for a few hrs wash out hang upside down and dry

I'll get on it on Monday and post results.

Try washing it with conditioner again, rise and dry thoroughly. Before storing it try and wrap the know in a piece a paper towel and tie twine around maybe 3-4 times top to bottom tight and allow to dry all the way for 3 days or so. This should give it most of its shape back. If the knot feels brittle, you can try lectric shave- it works

Honestly just use the brush and it will bounce back to its normal self after using, rinsing and drying a couple times.

I have done this on purpose many times for testing purpose with black badger, super badger, horse and boar. None have suffered ill effects.

It actually makes lathering a little easier when you already have some lather in the brush.
