Thread: Your not going to believe what my wife did.

So my wife opens our medicine cabinet in our bathroom and sees a bug. She freaks and reaches under the sink grabs a can of Raid and sprays the little bugger. In the process she doused my Badger Brush with bug spray!!!!! Ug.

I soaped it up and rinsed it a few times and still smells a little.

Is it ok to use on my face and anyone have tips on cleaning it?

Emsplace.com has a vid for cleaning brushes. I'd give that a go before I lathered up.

check wiki there is should be great tips how to clean up brushes. washed and takes all smells out. i did it myself.it include using vinegar and shampoo + dishwasher fluid.
You need to use them in order i think --dishwasher fluid first then vinegar keep in it approximately 3 minutes then wash out with shampoo . good luck
hope this helps.

Good news is that you have no bug problem in your brush.
I would do what was already mentioned, wash it in clear warm water, then use some hair shampoo and make a nice thick lather with the brush, rinse all out again, repeat. Then lather up with your favourite cream a couple times and it should be fine.

yea, clean it very well. its pesticide, i certainly wouldnt want to lather my face with it.
you need to restrict her access to the bug spray, ive had similair problems with my girl and carpet spot removers, had to start poring them down the sink, cuz every time we got a spot of dirt, shed douse the whole place in carpet cleaner

Thanks guys.

Octo, Love the picture of an Octopus shaving his (or her, I can't tell) legs.

Sounds like a great excuse to buy a nicer brush!
