Question 1

Does this come in 2 pieces so you can just use the brush head or put it on the stick for harder to reach places?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is detachable. Very good brush. If you're new to dry brushing apply light pressure when brushing. I love this brush it feels wonderful.

Question 2

How to you clean your brush?

Accepted Answer

Swish the bristles in warm water which has mild soap, a bit of white vinegar, and a drop of tea tree oil.  The vinegar and tea tree oil will help to fend off any bacteria build-up. Do not immerse the wood in the water... it will cause mildew and when the brush dries it might retain a strange odor. After you rinse the bristles, shake out the brush over the sink to remove the excess water. As a final step to speed the drying, use an absorbant towel to dry the bristles even more. Hang the brush to dry.

Question 3

It appears that the head is detachable. Can you confirm?

Accepted Answer

The head is detachable and replacement heads can be bought.

Question 4

When do you know to replace the brush?

Accepted Answer

I get a new one when needed, every 1-3 years, like Christina says. The brush is robust, but not completely indestructible. Some of the bristles will show some wear after a few months, and you may notice a few bent or missing. The brush will continue working at 99% of full effectiveness, and one can go on using it for a long time. But there comes a day when I feel like a new one suits my vanity, so I get one then.  When I get a new brush and first use it, I notice how stiff it feels compared with the old one, a sensation that fades after a week or two. I guess I've bought 7 or 8 of them over the last 15 years. Most of the old ones that I didn't lose completely are in the garage somewhere. They work nicely for cleaning yard tools or garbage cans and similar stuff I hardly ever clean. I never tried using one on an animal, but it might work well, depending on the animal, I guess.
