# How to Properly Wash Slit Brushes for Optimal Performance

Maintaining your wash slit brushes is essential for longevity and performance. Proper cleaning prevents residue buildup and ensures consistent results in industrial or artistic applications.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

Begin by rinsing bristles under lukewarm water to remove loose debris. Use a mild detergent or specialized brush cleaner, gently massaging from base to tip. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage bristle integrity.

Drying Techniques

Always air-dry brushes horizontally to prevent water from seeping into the ferrule. Never use heat sources as accelerated drying can cause bristle deformation.
