• Cleaning the Brush: After each grooming session, use the self-cleaning mechanism to remove the bulk of the hair. For a more thorough cleaning, you can rinse the brush head directly under water. Ensure all hair is removed from between the bristles.
• Drying: After rinsing, shake off excess water and allow the brush to air dry completely before storing. You can hang it by the integrated hook for convenience.
• Storage: Store the brush in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
