How do you get these brushes really clean, once the lint starts to accumulate in the bristles

Use something like a toothbrush---or even a brand new metal dog comb!? What I have a problem with (for my hard rubber combs)--is hairspray accumulating (believe it or not)!! The effect of this is to block the tongs? on the comb----making it hard to use!! I use a small toothbrush---in seconds it removes the hairspray particles and the comb is fine!!

Cleaning your bbb: If you're brushing daily your bbb will almost certainly get dirty. It's perfectly normal to see a lot of white or brown residue that might be sticky, greasy or fluffy as well as excess hair and debris. This is good! It shows the bbb is doing its job. After every use, clean the excess hair and debris from the brush with your fingers (you can also use some kind of tool - I use one of those wooden cuticle pushers). Also, wash the brush regularly. If you're right at the beginning of no poo it's often a good idea to wash the brush daily. After transition you can wash it once a week. To wash it use either hot water and soap or hot water and bs. This is a good way to use up old leftover shampoo. You can also use bodywash, handsoap, castile soap, washing up liquid etc etc. Leave the brush to dry sitting on a clean towel with the bristles facing down.

Depending on how dirty they are, you can either hose them down or just use a wet rag to wipe them down. Very easy to clean.

I just use a soft bristle brush and it gets everything loose under and around the blade and shaft then I take a damp paper towel and carefully wipe it out.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure. Maybe call the company. I can say it takes some pre rinsing to get them fully clean.

Mine stay clean by just good vacuuming or wiping them with a mild detergent. I would wash them in cold water if you put them in the washing machine. air dry.

I put Windex on a lint-free cloth, not directly on the cover, and wipe them off fairly easily. You may have to repeat a time or two, but it has always worked for me.

Yes, I have had these brushes for about a year and they began to shed within a few weeks. Needless to say I don't want the life time guarantee to get more brushes that shed.

I haven't ever noticed that many bristles falling out of mine. Maybe over the course of using it for a few months they have. But definitely not upon initial delivery. Might want to contact them. I have nothing but good things to say about mine.

No I have not. I have washed all of my brushes many times. I have never had that problem.

My daughter gave me one, so I tried it. First, I used my vacuum with the nozzle I usually use to clean out the lint. Then, I tried the Lint Lizzard. It sucked out an enormous additional volume of lint. You only need to use it once or twice a year. Well worth the price (or what it would be if I'd paid for it).

I haven't experienced any shedding at all. I use them daily sometimes twice a day. I also clean them every other day, usually my brushes shed after cleaning, but these haven't.

I measured the bristles. They are about an inch long. They are rather stiff. Go gently the first couple of times using the brush until you get used to it.

I just keep up on it with windex and a wrag. If they get nasty and pitted you can use windex with some "0000" steel wool and it will shine them up nice without scratching them. Make sure its "0000" tho

I thin the blower may get most of the dust out. As for the lint and it being a 35mm camera the brushes should work. for the price it is cheaper than taking your camera to a pro to clean.

When you first use them they do but if you wash them first its not as bad. After the 2nd wash the lint was virtually eliminated, at least it was for me.

There is almost no buildup because the bristles are smooth and have no ridges to catch hair. What little there is can be removed by reaching across the bristles with a damp cloth, pinching and pulling. That usually does it.

They probably need to be taken off and cleaned. Sometimes hair and fuzz, etc get wrapped around the brushes which makes it difficult for them to turn.
