How to Disinfect Combs
- 1). Place a plastic comb into a clean, medium sized bowl. Add 1 tsp. bleach and 1 tsp. baking soda to the bowl. Fill the bowl with 12 oz. hot water. Remove the comb from the mixture after 24 hours. Skip to step 3 if your comb is made from metal.
- 2). Rinse the comb with fresh water. Place the same comb into a second, clean bowl. Add 8 oz. of mouthwash to the bowl. Allow the comb to sit in the mixture for another 24 hours. Remove the comb and wash with dish soap and water before using.
- 3). Wash the metal comb with mild dish soap. Fill a small pot with water. Bring the water to a boil. Place the comb in the boiling water for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Remove the comb with a pair of tongs and place it onto a clean towel. Allow the comb to cool and dry for 30 minutes before using.
