Baking soda works great Comments By: Dave on 2004-09-02 I tried the baking soda in hot water and swirled them around for a minute. They came clean.   Works Great! Comments By: Anon on 2007-01-01 I cleaned all hair out of both my brushes, one a big flat brush and the other a metal round brush. I rubbed them both together (easy way of getting hair out of the round brush.) Made a mixture of hottest tap water, used 1 tbsp of baking soda and shot of dish soap. Rubbed brushes together again for about a minute. And brushes were all shiney and new again.   Fantastic Comments By: Perce Smith on 2007-09-03 Soaked in warm water and baking soda. Presto ,brushes were like new.   Thanks Comments By: Granpap18 on 2009-02-25 To all 3 of you for taking the time to comment . I wasn't too sure I'd try it til after reading your comments .   Baking Soda is the bomb! Comments By: Patti on 2009-12-01 Not only does baking soda clean hairbrushes, it's the perfect, chemical-free way to clean almost anything, including fine jewelry. My hairstylist turned me on to cleaning my hair brushes with it. Now I can't live without the stuff!
