The key to taking care of your deshedding tool is to ensure it is properly cleaned and stored at the end of each trim. Remove all hair from the brush when you are done with it and inspect it for damage. Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for washing the brush. If you do wash it, make sure it is scorched before storing it. Keep your brush away from allergens and potential irritants. If it comes with a cover, make sure to use it. Not only does this keep him clean and irritating, but it also protects him from dog teeth if they decide to find him and play.
