1. Begin by running your brushes under warm water. 
2. Add warm water to a bowl, only pouring enough to cover the brush hairs. When the water turns dirty, tip it out and add clean water.
3. Apply a few pumps of baby shampoo, antibacterial hand soap or face wash. 
4. Swirl the brush in a circular motion to get a deep clean.
5. Rinse the tip of the brush under running water. Repeat steps 1-3 until the brush hairs look clean and the water runs clear.
6. Using a clean face towel, dry the brushes, reshaping them as you go.
7. Lay the brushes flat on a towel to dry.
