If the badger brush is not performing to my expectations I will give it a Pantene treatment (Hirlau's recommended bristle treatment agent). This act is very rare in my den.

Some people do a monthly clean but I have not found that to be necessary. When I do a brush cleansing I use Borax followed by Pantene.
