welcome back to Andrea Jean cleaning today I want to be teaching you how to
clean and sanitize your hairbrush and your combs fast and easy this channel is
all about cleaning and organizing for busy women and busy people so let's jump
into it if you are new here make sure you give the video a thumbs up subscribe
and in the description box I have an entire playlist about how to clean and
organize pretty much everything so check that out here's what we have here we
have two hair brushes this one is the worst let's see if my camera will pick
it up here yes it's disgusting hold on out of focus oh yeah guys there it is
look at that that's pretty girls look at the lint in
there really I know but we want to sanitize them as well I'm losing my kids
and then the combs it's amazing how many microbes and microorganisms can
accumulate on there so here's what we got we got a tweezers you could use a
pen I'll show you what we're gonna do here in a second I like the tweezers
because of the sharp and that it's got here and then I got some shampoo this is
my kids shampoo and you can really use anything I like to use this because it's
more gentle and but really you can use anything and then we're gonna have a
little tug here so what we're gonna do the first thing is I'm going to clean up
the brushes with this get all the hair and gunk out and then we're gonna put
hot hot water in here with some of the soap and we're going to let it soak for
a little while let everything get out of the brush as best as it possibly can
really loosen things up and then I will show you the next step here and last but
not least I'll show you how to disinfect it because cleaning it is one thing but
I think it's important to disinfect as well it's kind of like cleaning your
countertops you can wipe them down but that doesn't necessarily mean that
you've killed any sort of bacteria so I'll show you how to do that so stay
tuned
all right so I got most of the hair out this one isn't bad this is my daughter's
we're gonna put that in the parlor here and this one is mine you may be asking
yourself why is it looped it's because I have beaded hair extensions and so that
these bristles don't grab the extensions that's why they're looped like that so
you can see most of the hair is out but there's lint still stuck in there and
that is what this hot water bath is going to help do I'm actually gonna flip
these upside down and get some hot soft water hot tubs oh my gosh
hot hot water don't mind my sink you guys it's disgusting okay I'm gonna grab
my shampoo and I'm just gonna put you know not a lot I would say about dime
sized quarter sized amount in there let them soak fill that up
perfect and I like using this because it really this rectangular sized Tupperware
here so it really lets them sit in there nicely and gets it all so I'm going to
let this soak for about 15-20 minutes and then we'll come back here and rinse
everything out and then I'll show you one of my final steps where these have
been soaking for about 15-20 minutes now we're gonna rinse them off really well
and then move on and I'll show you the magic
so now that everything has been loosened up here you can see a lot of that lint
pit came out already I'm just gonna go back in with my tweezers and just get
the rest of it out now you could use a tooth brush if you wanted but I feel
like this the tweezers is just butter it's really hard to get a tooth brush
inside of these little bristles maybe it's just my particular brush but I'm
going to get the rest of this out and then we'll move on to our disinfecting
step
let's take a peek here and yes that is very disgusting I just it works better
when you use your fingernails to pull that out rather than a toothbrush you
try for yourself and let me know what you think but that is looking so much
better there's a few stragglers left in there but we're not going to get crazy
about that so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to rinse this out let's do
that really quick and then I missed it everything in here again and then we're
gonna take the magic the magic potion here I'm just kidding
put all those in there and I'm going to grab some rubbing alcohol I just put it
in a clear bottle like this this is 70% rubbing alcohol and so I'm going to
spray everything down because this is what's going to really disinfect
perfect now I'm gonna let this soak for about 15-20 minutes and then we'll come
back rinse them off since I use this tweezer here and I want to sanitize that
as well we're going to let that sit in there in fact I have a whole video right
here where I share 15 different uses for rubbing alcohol around your home so that
will be linked in that playlist in the description box below so be sure to
check that out so I'll meet you back here in about 15 minutes so it's been
about 15 minutes now I'm going to go ahead and just take some hot water here
and rinse everything off I flip my towel over and I will let it dry and these
should be dry the combs will be dry pretty quickly I mean you could hand dry
those and just put them back in your drawers or wherever you keep them but
the brushes themselves they usually dry within an hour or two but I love this
method it is so easy not only does it clean it lifts the lid to help you get
all the hair out very well but it also disinfects it because that is really
really important and I haven't had any issues with the rubbing alcohol on these
particular types of brushes before so let me know in the description box below
have you tried this method before I would love to hear what sort of things
that you do as well to clean your hair brushes in your cause because I know
this is something that can be super easy to forget and put off and then you just
keep looking at your stuff if you're anything like me you're like oh that's
so girls I need to do that and then a week goes by and then you're like oh
that's so girls I need to take care of that if we are enough friends on
