Hi. Love your videos. For bleach disinfection it is better to use cool water (not hot). Also, bleach does not disinfect organic material so you might want to wash the brushes in soapy water first (dish soap and hot water) to remove dirt, hair, debris, etc. Then rinse, and soak, like you said a minimum of 10 minutes in the bleach/water solution. Thanks for your videos.

Thanks for your comment. Based on our information from Clorox, this is a common misconception and bleach is equally effective in both hot and cold water. We can't claim to be scientists, but this method has worked for us for years. Agree that a good dish soap/hot water cleaning can also be a good option to start with, especially if your brushes are very dirty with organic material.

Hi from australia great video

[@leannacrawford2750]

Did I catch that right that you do it weekly? Sounds like they are cleaned on Sundays since Monday is the off day os they have a full day to dry.

[@johnmaddensalesinc]

Yes, we try to do this once a week on Sundays.

I agree with anna. Bleach is not a good disinfectant. Better off using an acid or peroxide based as hospitals do.
