Caring for your
Mason Pearson Brush
GOOD GENERAL CARE OF THE
PRODUCT WILL PROLONG ITS USEFUL LIFE
Do not use it on
applications for which it is not designed; for example , it is
not designed to be used on animals .
It should not be left
continuously in strong sunlight during a large part of its
life. The ultra-violet light can perish the rubber and the heat
can distort the handle.
Important: Do not use
oils or spirits on your hairbrush. These can destroy the
rubber. Oil-based preparations used on the hair can do the same if
allowed to accumulate.
Cleaning:
The pad and bristles need to be cleaned periodically . For the
best results, use a Cleaning Brush, which comes with all the
larger models and can be purchased from us for the Pocket size.
Otherwise, use a narrow toothbrush. Follow the cleaning
instructions below to keep your Mason Pearson Hairbrush in good
condition, even after many years of use.
Dry clean it
frequently. The dead hairs and scales from the scalp can clog
the pad and bristles of your hairbrush.
1. Loosen any 'woven'
strands with a comb. Insert the comb at the sides of the brush as
near to the pad as possible and follow round the whole
circumference of the brush, lifting the hair away.
2. Draw the Cleaning Brush
across the bristles from one end of the pad to the other and then
diagonally. If there is an accumulation of dust on the surface of
the rubber pad, use the tips of the filaments of the Cleaning
Brush to dislodge it using a light scrubbing action.
Wash it occasionally. However,
you are advised to wash it more frequently, if it becomes apparent
that grease is accumulating quickly, because grease in contact
with the rubber pad can cause it to deteriorate. Similarly, this
applies to hair preparation, oils or chemicals which are likely to
remain on the brush after use.
1. Dry clean as above.
2. Make a lather of
lukewarm (never hot) soapy water. Do not use detergents,
ammonia, petroleum-based products or shampoos to clean the
hairbrush.
3.Dip the Cleaning Brush
only, and NOT the hairbrush, into the soapsuds and draw it across
the bristles from one end of the pad to the other and then
diagonally. Use the tips of the filaments of the Cleaning Brush to
brush the surface of the rubber pad, with a light scrubbing action
in the same way. Hold the hairbrush so that the head is
pointing downwards, with the hole at the bottom. This should never
be blocked, either when cleaning or when the brush is in use.
4. Dip the Cleaning Brush
in clean rinsing water and apply it to the hairbrush.
5. Shake the hairbrush to
remove any excessive moisture and leave it to dry with the handle
uppermost, and the pad facing downwards.
Never dry the bristles
with a towel.
The bristle and nylon are
softened if they become too moist. In the case of a nylon
hairbrush only, leave it to dry in an airing cupboard for an hour.
If the hairbrush is pure bristle or a mixture of bristle and
nylon, then this method should not be used. Natural bristle can
become brittle if exposed to dry heat for an extended period. So,
leave the brush to dry naturally at a comfortable temperature.
Important: Do not use
oils or spirits on your hairbrush: these will destroy the
rubber.
Care of the handle:
For plastic handles to maintain their shape, do not boil in water
or apply heat to them. Strong chemicals , notably nail varnish
remover , can attack the surface or cause the plastic to sink . In
addition, these can draw out the coloured dyes and pigments from
the plastic. For the wooden handles, all the foregoing applies.
Also, the presence of water inside the hairbrush will cause the
wood to swell and the coating to crack.
