How to Clean Your Dry Brush (Dry Brushing for the Body)

In this video, I show you how to clean a dry brush. In my other videos on dry brushing for lymphatic drainage, I frequently received the questions: "how do you clean your dry brush?" and "How often should you clean your dry brush". So I hope this video helps to answer these questions!

1) ideally, you’d wash your brush every day. Not less than once a week 2) wash it with a gentle body wash with warm water in a shallow bowl. Rinse well. Keep the water away from the base to avoid melting the glue or damaging the wood (your bristles would fall off otherwise). Leave it to dry on a towel with the bristles side down

[@ChelseyTarnow]

Thank you for this! I'm new to your page and looking forward to learning more:). I received a dry brush during cancer treatment and had no idea how to use it 🙈.

[@PrairieJournals]

Just bought a set of brushes and they also have some with wood bases and rubbery knobby things on them lol. Thank you for these videos, it really means a lot right now.

[@marylem9277]

Thank you as always you have been very helpful to me with my lymphedema, I am still doing dry brushing after my infusion.

[@angelaharris1112]

Thank you!

[@geralynkamahaocamarillo1818]

MAHALO SOOO MUCH!!! So AWESOME!

[@isaforlove4822]

Hi, I was wondering if you could please tell me the name of the brand of the small face brush you are using here --the one with the 2 different colored lines of wood. Thank you for the lovely videos.

[@joymercy]

Nice video ❤❤

[@misscade6943]

Hi, I saw that you are using Castille for cleaning your brush. Do you also use it as a body wash and shampoo? Can you make video on how and what are the uses of this soap to you?

[@amelss3]

Thanks 🤍

[@annealbaugh919]

Can you use cleansing whips to clean the brushes to clean them in between the soap n water clean ?

[@shinigglory3689]

Can you use apple cider vinegar thanks for the video ❤❤

[@iamwarlock1292]

Hmm, I take my brush into the shower after dry brushing where it doubles as my scrub brush with my soap (cetophil), and I then scrub it in there after use and hang it to dry. If and when it finally breaks down, I will get a new one. I've had the present brush about 5 months and so far it is still looking like new, softer if anything.

Is that ok to soak first on baking soda first with water before clean it

[@dr.rowenamarzodentalclinic7491]

Hi! where can i order the brush ?

[@essicathomas5880]

I use warm water and tea tree oil to clean my brush, is that effective?

[@aashifbhaiupwale8863]

My father radiation therapy is running but he will facing more problem in neck ulcers. Plzz reply me Sister

[@thedancingdivaofdaviestree2320]

I use a sea sponge for dry brushing, so I've just been tossing it in the washing machine with a gentle ecofriendly soap. Is that okay?

[@chloem4293]

Thanks for sharing. Is there another option? We got rid of Dr. Bronner products in our household. How about using Baking soda and vinegar?

[@Finn-ex8kl]

I’m curious, why did you get rid of Dr Bronner?

[@rebeccak9630]

Just wondering, could you use hydrogen peroxide to clean the brush?

[@patricianyithokago6510]

Can i use the huge brush with a string on my face too??

[@carmelvillard]

💘 it

[@AC-ms9jx]

Do you dry brush before or after you shower does it matter when

[@aav_n]

She mentions in this video best to take a shower after dry brushing, so brush before shower❤

[@katerinakalina]

Ur not talking about the bottom of the brush at all. Theres not just dead skin sells that get in there theres hair and lint and ur not saying anything regarding how to clean that.

[@alexl4318]

I just take it into the shower with me, pour lot's of soap on it and use my fingers to "clean" until there's no soap coming out haha

[@CancerRehabPT]

Haha, love it! That’s definitely the most efficient way.
