Hair and styling residues collect among brush teeth. These tips follow Tangle Teezer's instructions for plastic models including the Original and Ultimate Styler. Do not assume wooden, natural-bristle or electrical brushes can be cleaned identically.

1. Check your exact Tangle Teezer model. This method concerns the Original and Ultimate Styler; heat-styling tools and other materials may need different care.
2. Pull loose hair out from between the teeth. Use the tail of a comb to gently lift stubborn strands, without bending or scraping the plastic teeth.
3. Mix a little mild soap with warm water that is comfortable to touch. Have a clean soft toothbrush ready; avoid scalding water and harsh chemicals.
4. Dip the toothbrush in soapy water and gently scrub between the teeth and across the base to remove styling-product residue. Avoid strong pressure.
5. Rinse off soap in the way allowed by your specific model, then shake away extra water. Do not dismantle or heat-sterilize the brush without manufacturer permission.
6. Leave the brush to air-dry thoroughly with the teeth facing upwards. The manufacturer advises against using a hairdryer on these plastic models. Check for warping or cracks.
