Before you start, make sure you have everything you need within reach. You'll require warm water, mild liquid soap or a gentle cleanser specifically formulated for makeup tools, and a clean, lint-free towel.

As soon as you finish using your scrubber, rinse it under warm running water. This initial rinse helps to remove most of the surface debris like dirt, makeup, and skincare product residues. Gently rub the bristles or nubs of the scrubber with your fingers to dislodge any stubborn particles.

Place a small amount of mild liquid soap or your chosen makeup tool cleanser onto the scrubber. Use your fingers to work the cleanser into a lather, ensuring it reaches all the crevices and bristles. The silicone's texture can trap oils and bacteria, so a thorough lathering is key.

Using a soft-bristled toothbrush (optional but highly effective), gently scrub the bristles or textured areas of the silicone scrubber. This helps to clean deep within the tiny gaps where bacteria might hide. Pay extra attention to areas that come into more contact with your skin, like the center of the scrubber.

Rinse the scrubber again under warm running water, making sure to remove all traces of the cleanser. Hold the scrubber under the running water and squeeze it gently to flush out any remaining soapy residue. You can also turn the scrubber inside out (if possible) to ensure every part gets rinsed clean.

Once a week or after sharing your scrubber, it's a good idea to disinfect it. You can soak the scrubber in a solution of warm water and a few drops of tea tree oil, which has natural antibacterial properties. Let it soak for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly again.

Pat the scrubber dry with a clean, lint-free towel. Avoid air-drying it in a humid bathroom, as the moisture can encourage bacteria growth. You can also place it on a clean, flat surface to finish drying, ensuring that the bristles are not bent or squished.
