Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Makeup brushes

Yes
Check first
No

Avoid – the glue in the ferrule can come loose and the handle can swell.

Updated from your answers.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

The bristles are glued into the metal ferrule, and the handle is often wood. Water in the ferrule dissolves the glue so that the brush starts to shed.

Do this instead

  • Wash only the bristles with mild soap
  • Dry with the bristles pointing down
