Can this comb be reused (like lets say 1 year later your child get another case of Head Lice) or do you have to throw it away after 1 use?

It can totally be reused as long as you clean it--I sanitize it in my dishwasher or put it in boiling water.

Don't throw it away! it can be used as much as you need too. Once or twice a week when my daughter has school, I check her head. IF you have head lice and you use it, once it's all treated soak your comb in rubbing alcohol. Actually, while I was going through my daughter hair, I would put the comb in a cup with alcohol and put the lice in it! and then start combing her hair out again!

After I used to treat the lice I disinfected (placed in hot water with shampoo) and placed in a ziploc to use if I need again. I wish that I had this comb from the beginning of treatment. The combs that are sold with the kits did NOT work for me.

I have used it over and over! I use it for prevention by combing her hair every week or so. The handle got some slight rusting after a few months, probably because I wash it so often, but the bristles are rust free!

I don't think so. My daughter has very long hair and it didn't pull her hair out. Use a good regular comb first to comb it out well before using the lice comb.

I really don't think it's sanitary to re-use any wax. I wouldn't want to go to somebody recycling wax.

It can be reused indefinitely. See my review-I've had mine for nine years. I clean it with soap, hot water, and rubbing alcohol on a regular basis. If it starts to discolor you can soak it in rubbing alcohol for awhile.

No, they can't be reused. Even though they fall off the glue or old nail layer may still be inside. This would make it incredibly uncomfortable for kitty and could cause issues.

Yes, you can take them off and reuse them. We have done this several times.

I don't think it is practical to reuse them. We just picked them up one at a time and put them in the trash. They weren't too heavy. We ordered one each of about five different brands and did our own test to see which one worked best. This one was not the top performer, in our opinion.

If you mean can you reuse this, no. Once it's applied that's it, which is why it's important to lone it up very carefully. The second part is how easy is it to remove . Mine is still up. You will have to pick at the corners to remove it. Or get a little tool to scrape it off.

Yes, they are only supposed to be used 1 time. They are disposable. You may be able to use them twice but I wouldn't risk it.

Yes, I have the Lice Meister. It is ok, but I prefer the Terminator comb BY FAR. The Terminator comb has tiny micro grooved ridges running down the metal "teeth" of the comb. They seem to work better at breaking loose the nits. Though I have never found a comb that will find EVERY single nit - the Terminator does a far better job. My daughter actually has found out she had lice in the first place by periodically running it through her hair - now she uses it once a month since there seem to be so many children in our town with lice. She usually can catch nits herself that way and then I know if she's gotten them again. Now, with periodic use of this comb and frequent checks we've remained lice free since March - whereas she had gotten them twice over the winter and the lice meister still missed so many nits. Be warned though - I TRULY wish there was something to get rid of every nit - but I have not found it. You will still have to do the checking. However - if you treat the child's head on night 1 & then use this comb every night for 2 weeks - then retreat your child's head 7 days after the first treatment & in another 7 - you will have a far better chance of success. I don't know if your area is prone to lice as ours is - but we homeschool so my daughter isn't even in the schools - but just being in our local church and having friends that do go to school has exposed her so many times and caused me countless hours of cleaning, washing of bedding & toys, and checking, checking, checking. I truly am glad I found the Terminator comb - it works far better - though my true hope was that it would pull every nit out - but it sure pulls out more than anything else I've tried.

The swiffer is reusable. The swiffer wifes must be discarded after each use.

Go to www.LiceGuard.com they will demonstrate with a video on how to take apart and wash. Their video is very helpful.

You can reuse them for up to 6 days according to the packaging. However, I found that I wanted to swap them out for new ones after a couple days. You can rinse and reuse them between feedings and putting them in the fridge helps them maintain their soothing quality.

Yes, you throw them away after one use. That being said, they last for ~12 hours.

I reused some of them. I think my cat would rip or chew them off, so there was parts of nail left in some of them. I didn't reuse those, but the ones that came off clean, I did.

You will absolutely need to check and comb your child's hair in addition to the shampoo. The shampoo is really meant as a "deterrent" to getting lice. It will not kill lice.

I have never tried to reuse. My guess would be yes, provided it is free of muslin or cotton threads.
