Grooming tools collect loose hair, skin oils and debris. Regular cleaning helps keep them easier to use and gives you a chance to check for damage.
Remove trapped hair after use
Clear loose fur from brushes and combs after each grooming session when practical.
Wash only when the tool allows it
Follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Some tools can be washed, while others should only be wiped clean.
Dry completely
Metal tools should be dried thoroughly to reduce the chance of corrosion.
Inspect for damage
Replace tools with bent teeth, sharp edges, cracked handles or damaged mechanisms.
