How to clean a magic brush

[Happy Ponies]

I have hy version of the brush and after 3 uses it's now clogged with hair. I'm not too sure on the best way to get out all of the hair and wondered if any of you have had the same struggle and what you did

I have a bradawl but a small screwdriver or similar will do the job. Just poke in the sides underneath the hair all along the length and you get a nicely satisfying mat of hair lifting out.

I either tap it on the concrete floor (bristle side down) which brings the hair to the tips & you can just scrape it off
Or wash a horse (or bucket, or boots etc) with it which seems to clump the hair together and then it taps out really easily

Banging the tip of one end on wood (as bouncily as possible) brings the hair out well. As does a toothpick

Tap it sharply on a hard surface bristle side down (concrete floor or wall ... Whatever happens to be handy!!) ... The hair comes to the ends of the bristles and can be removed with a plastic curry comb. Give it a wash now and then ... Love my magic brushes ...

As others have said, easiest way is to give it a good tap on a hard surface with the bristle side down.

I bought one of those little brushes for cleaning velcro for the tack shop, it was only about £3. Its brill for getting hairs off numnahs and also cleaning my magic brushes, use it for everything now.

I use one of these too, they are very nifty

usually use a skewer of screwdriver x

Usually scrape it with a hoof pick and give it a brush with the brush side of the hoof pick too. Wash it with a bit of hand soap every so often. They dry quickly.

Either hold one end and tap the other on the top of the door, or use a hairbrush type brush in the same fashion I would use a metal currycomb on a body brush.

 

[Dave's Mam]

Tap on floor then a hoofpick.

 

[MotherOfChickens]

whack it and whack it and whack it, then a hoof pick. Roma do a miracle brush which is the same thing but twice the size-was so happy when I found it

Scrape on a sharp door edge.

 

[Lyle]

I just bang it on something hard, like a fence

This although why people think they’re so amazing I’m not sure. I’ve had one since the mid 80’s and then I knew it as a water brush, great for scrubbing when bathing, but a pita to clean the hairs from.
