The habit of keeping paddle combs clean is often forgotten by us. This is important because the oil, dirt, dandruff and hair products left on the comb will pass on to a loved one, roommate or spouse when used together. An old paddle comb can be reused and prolongs its life by removing any remaining hair from the comb, cleaning with the right detergent and drying product.
Steps
Remove the hair on the comb

If the comb only clings to a thin layer of hair, use your fingers to remove it. Fingertips are often flexible so you can handle them effectively without having to spend money on additional tools. Detangle hair at one end of the comb surface, gently pulling hair up and out. Patience at this step is important because the hairs are very fragile and make it difficult to remove.

Use a comb detangler if there is a layer of hair stuck to the comb. When it comes to paddle brush cleaners, tangles are always at the top of the list. Although this tool looks like a comb, it is very effective. Detanglers also come in a variety of sizes and are also available as single- or double-sided. For paddle combs or if you have multiple combs of different shapes and sizes, you should choose to buy a double-sided detangler so you have the flexibility to use it. [2] X Research Source

Use a nylon brush if you have one available. Keep the paddle comb over the sink, above the trash can, or handle combs outdoors. Use a brush to scrub the bristles of the paddle comb. This will help you remove hair, clean dead skin cells and dandruff on the comb. Continue scrubbing until the brush cleans the nooks and crannies of the paddle comb. [3] X Research Sources
- Wash the brush to remove dirt and dry it before using it for another purpose.

Use a comb to untangle the hair sticking to the comb. Puppet combs usually have one end with comb teeth and the other point is for parting. You put the sharp end of the comb under the hair on the surface of the comb and gently pull it out of the comb. Repeat this operation on the remaining edges of the comb or over the entire comb surface. When the hair is no longer clinging to the surface, simply use your fingers to roll the hair up to pull it up. [4] X Research Sources

Use scissors to help you untangle tight sections of hair. Usually, the hair will braid or tighten while you remove the hair from the comb. Therefore, remember to have a pair of scissors ready to handle this case. Just cut the tightened hair into two or three sections. Be careful not to cut too many sections or small pieces of hair will remain on the comb. [5] X Research Sources
Clean dirt and oil

Use tea tree oil as it is a completely natural cleanser. Tea tree oil is a very effective and natural cleanser that can be found in most cosmetic stores or supermarkets. First, pour 1 cup of warm water into a medium-sized bowl. Then add a few drops of tea tree oil and stir well. [6] X Research Sources

Use shampoo and baking soda to clean your comb if you have sensitive skin. With sensitive or allergic skin, using a shampoo combined with baking soda is a safe and gentle option. Pour 1 cup of warm water into a medium-sized bowl. Add a teaspoon of shampoo and a teaspoon of baking soda and stir well. [7] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d2/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a- Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d2/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-8- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dip a clean toothbrush into the cleaning solution. You will use a clean toothbrush and dip it in the solution. Make sure the entire bristles of the brush are soaked with the cleaning solution. [8] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/53/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a- Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/53/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-9- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Rub the brush between the bristles and the brush head surface. Use a toothbrush to scrub the surface of the comb head, where the bristles are attached, from bottom to top. This will remove excess oil, dandruff, and hair products. Move the brush in turn to scrub the entire surface. Remember to scrub in small circular motions to clean stubborn stains.

Soak the paddle comb in the cleaning solution bowl to remove residual dirt and for a deep clean. After scrubbing the surface of the comb, you will dip the brush head into the cleaning solution. This helps to clean the remaining dirt and to clean the comb one more time. This is a useful step for removing stubborn hair products from the comb. [10] X Research Source
- If the comb has a wooden handle or tip, do not immerse the comb in water. Most wooden combs have a water-repellent finish, but they are not 100% waterproof. Instead of soaking the brush in a bowl of water, simply use the brush to scrub it once or twice more.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6b/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a- Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6b/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-11- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wash the comb with plain water. Get an extra medium-sized bowl for clean water. Slowly lower the comb into the bowl of water to fully wet the bristles. For a round comb, you will have to rotate the handle in the palm of your hand to ensure that the entire surface of the comb is thoroughly cleaned.
- If you have a wooden paddle comb, you will keep the comb over the sink or towel with the bristles facing down. Use a spray bottle to spray water on the cleaned comb hair until the water is clear. [11] X Research Source
Dry the comb
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/18/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/18/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use a clean dry towel to dry the paddle comb if you have a comb with a wooden handle or tip. It is important to quickly dry any remaining water on the bristles or on the wooden comb head. Residual moisture can seep into the bristles, head padding and wood material causing mold and damage. Use a towel to gently press between the bristles to touch the surface of the brush head. Make sure to use moderate force to absorb any remaining water. [12] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/33/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush- Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/33/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Place the paddle comb with the bristles facing down on the towel to dry. Once the water has dried on the comb, the next important step is to dry the comb before use. Place the bristles on a clean dry towel and let dry overnight. [13] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9e/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush- Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9e/Clean-a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Bristled-Hairbrush-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use a hair dryer to quickly dry the comb. If you need to use the comb right away, use the dryer on the lowest setting to make it dry faster. Run the dryer back and forth over the comb a few times to blow dry excess water and make sure the comb is now slightly damp instead of wet.
Advice

- Comb cleaning solution can be purchased.
- A clean, clean comb will help you have a clean, healthy hair
- A cleaning solution with vinegar and water can replace soapy water if you have dry hair that doesn’t leave oil on the comb. On the contrary, you will choose ingredients that help clean the oil on the comb.

- Dry the comb only on the cool setting.
- Be careful when cleaning wooden paddle combs.
