Best way to handwash??? I have a norpro silicone bristle and the base is always hardest to clean, any ideas for how to clean this brush?

I would just put a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid in the palm of my hand and squish the brush back and forth on both sides getting a good lather, then give it a good rinse.

I rincs it thoroughly after using it. Then stick it in the dishwasher. Otherwise, if I need it again before I run the washer, I put soap directly onto the base of the bristles, and just using my fingers lather it around, then rinse and use.

I have not put my Norpro in the dishwasher because it really doesn't get dirty since I only use it for steaming. Besides, it is so tiny that washing by hand is not at all difficult. I don't consider it a problem since I also handwash my regular cookware.

The manufacturer did not recommend how to clean. I used a home made brush cleaner I use from online. If you'd like to know more about the one I use go to www.bubblebabez.com

I too have no trouble just cleaning the bristles by hand. The bristles are so short it really shouldn't be a problem, then wash after.

A bristle brush and hot water does the trick for me. I use mild detergent and haven't seen anything go wrong yet. Although my mom said it's better to use lemon juice to clean the grease instead, but then again she is a little more old school than me.

Try to clean shortly after use to avoid problems. When necessary I use a bit of dishwashibg liquid and sponge and hot water. No problems so far. Hope this helps.

From what I can see the Nanolonic Mineral has been locked into the bristles whereas the other one doesn't have that. I have the one with the blue handle, but I think I might try the silver classic to see how it works. It sounds a little more efficient, but have not used it. Good Luck!!

I would assume its due to dishwasher soap. Im only saying that because I used a Mr. Clean sponge on mine and it dis-coloured it. Not pleased what it looks like, but am very happy how it cleans up..not hard to clean off sticking stuff. Sorry I don't know why you have to handwash it. God Bless

You just have to keep in mind that there are 2 sharp edges. I wash it with a thin sponge or a small dish washing brush. Just make sure you only clean in the direction away from the sharp edges so the blade can't dig into the sponge or brush. I've cleaned mine both by hand and in the dishwasher with equally good results.

Hi Cynthia! This is how I seasoned mine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SesaUVFZ-M). And for cleaning, I only use the bamboo brush you'll see in the video. Hope this helps. -Paul

I use a kitchen brush, you can pick up one at walmart cheap, or on amazon, it is the handled variety and it cleans this tool very well.

Mine has never required cleaning and I use it almost daily. I think a soft bristle brush should do the trick if you feel like cleaning.

I clean the tip of the handheld unit using a very small cleaning brush that came with a hair trimming kit. It's perfect... and I use it to clean the tip after each use. Otherwise, I can see the tip getting really dirty and clogged with the dead skin that's been suctioned off. If you don't have such a cleaning brush, perhaps you can use some sort of small cosmetic-type brush with slightly firm bristles. In addition, I also use a cottom pad with alcohol to disinfect the tip of the handheld piece, every other time I use my machine. I hope this response helps.

There are not any instructions, that come with it, for cleaning. I would contact zensufu.com, and ask them! Personally, I handwashing worked fine.

Heres a link to a page that explains how to clean it http://www.livestrong.com/article/170494-how-to-clean-a-boar-bristle-hairbrush/#page=3

I just use a small amount of dish soap and hot water. If it needs it I will soak overnight and use a small plastic bristle brush. With rinsing after each use I hardly find the need for anything else.
