You have the makeup brush cleaner and the sponge & brush wash  – what’s the difference?
The Antibacterial Quick Dry Brush Cleaning Spray is a spray that kills 99.9% of bacteria and can be used on the move. It dries very quickly. The Antibacterial Deep Cleanse Sponge & Brush Wash needs to be used with hot clean water and is a super-clean shampoo specially designed for your makeup sponges, brushes and puffs. It was developed to dissolve and remove tough formulas such as silicone and heavy cream based products such as concealer and lipstick. Makeup and beauty professionals need to clean brushes between clients and like to “wash brushes end of day” – so both products do the job at hand.

How much of the liquid do I need to clean my brushes?
Start with a small amount the size of a ten pence piece – it will depend on the size of your brush, how dirty it is, whether it is natural or synthetic and what products you have been using with the brush. Just follow the instructions and repeat as necessary.

Does the formula remove all products?
Yes – the formula was developed using everyday makeup we all wear and also professional products for screen and stage such as foundation with silicone and long-wear eyeliners that “dry” hard onto brushes as well as heavily pigmented creams and gels.

Can I use the Deep Cleanse Sponge & Brush Wash on both natural and synthetic brushes?
Yes – safe for both. Remember never to soak your brushes as soaking destroys the glue around the ferrule and the handle.

Do I need to use water to clean my brushes?
Yes, best to use hot clean running water. You could use a bowl of water, but by using running water, you can see when the brush, sponge of puff is completely clean as the water will be free from colour residue, grime and dirt.

Once I have cleaned my brushes, can I use them immediately?
You need to let the brushes dry naturally and drying time depends on whether natural or synthetic. Follow the instructions and ensure you squeeze excess water out and let the head of the brush hang over the edge so air can get all around the brush head. Never dry artificially on a radiator or with a hair dryer. For quick spot “on the go” cleaning and sanitising your makeup brushes, use our Antibacterial Quick Dry Brush Cleaning Spray.

Beauty Hygiene Plus Deep Cleanse Sponge & Brush Wash has been tested independently to deliver the following certified levels of protection against bacterial infection.  European Certification conforms to European Standards for evaluation of bactericidal activity (EN 1276 and EN 13697).
