When the brushes are drying, I see it's compact in the elastic. Is this sanitary vs having it upside down on a brush tree? Can we clean the case?

Hmm never thought that it wouldn't be sanitary since the sigma glove really cleans out the brush throughly and the case dries the brushes nicely. Yes if you want you could clean the drying case

I throw mine in the washer on delicate then let it air dry. It seems to be holding up fine. My dog sleeps on the bed so I was not going to dry clean it every few weeks!

I have one and I am not a big fan of dry cleaning down. The chemicals are not good for the feathers. I have a large capacity front load washer that I used with a mild detergent and it came out beautiful. I would not use the sanitize setting on the washer. I also dried it at home on a gentle setting. Next time I will have it professionally laundered, ensuring a mild detergent is used. The feathers get brittle a break from dry cleaning. These comforters last for years if taken care of properly. Just think of the detergent used to clean ducks and shore birds after an oil spill ;-)

I used it for a week, just rinsing it mostly, paying special attention to the mouth part. When I got home from the cruise, I was so disgusted with it because it leaked, that I thoroughly washed it (taking it apart) and let it dry. It now sits in the cabinet. Have you had a problem with leaking when it is on its side ?

I've not head mine for very long. I've used it only twice. But its not bad about things sticking to it. Mostly it just collects leaf fragments that get get caught on your clothes. If its not been drenched in icky,I would just do it like I do my goretex stuff, spot wash and rinse. I mean, your camping right? Plan for a little grime.

Clean with if only a little finger. Also I use it because there is just a good brush. I hope and brush is attached. I am not yet wash because the outside is clean

yes, just brush in the opposite direction and the lint you have trapped will slide off. Easy.

I have a black case, and haven't had to clean it.I guess you could wipe it off with a damp rag?

I've never had to wash it because I let it air dry upside down on a rack after every use. If I were to wash it I would use a few drops of household bleach added to a liter of water, pour it in the bag, close it and shake for a minute, then let sit for a 10 minutes, and then air dry upside down.

Swipe it in the opposite direction. It works pretty good. I also use a cloth and pull. As far as lint brushes go - this is the best one. The others with paper are cheapie and don't work well. I have a machine I have to use everyday due to cancer and have to use this brush almost daily. Very happy with the performance.

The brush is removable and easy to clean. Since the entire head has no electronics, I think it might be ok to wash. I haven't tried it with mine yet, but I do know there are screws in it so you could take it apart and clean fairly easily.

I use a Badger brush and hang it with the bristles down, with the top of the handle resting on the holder arm. In a perfect world, not satisfied with it... but world's not perfect and neither is holder but it works.

It seems to be a rubber like smell and it doesn't bother me at all. You could try a clothes dryer sheet and leave it in the case.

I wash it manualy. Keep it at least 3-4 hours to dry after usage in upside down position.

I just wash mine with all my delicates like hose, bras, etc. I have a mesh bag to keep the bra hooks away from the items without fasteners or zippers but it works just fine. I lay it out to dry.

It is recommended. I normally wipe it down with mineral oil to prevent the wood from drying out. Mine is stored in a closet and brought out when needed.

I just wipe it down with a baby wipe. I don't use it in all the little nooks and crannies I use a q-tip for that. I have kids so I understand how it can get dirty lol. I also got a hard case for it for extra protection.
