How to properly clean a comb 🍋

So könnt ihr einen Kamm wirklich gründlich reinigen 🍋

Jeder, der einen Kamm verwendet, kennt wahrscheinlich das Problem. Nach einer Zeit werden Kämme unappetitlich. Auch wenn man sie jeden Tag abspült, sammelt sich mit der Zeit Talg zwischen den Kammzähnen, der sich nur sehr mühsam, wenn überhaupt, entfernen lässt.

Früher habe ich versucht, Kämme mit einem kleinen Schraubenzieher oder mit einer Bürste zu reinigen, aber das ist eine Sisyphusarbeit und hat nie wirklich gut geklappt.

Habe mich dann im Internet informiert und alle möglichen Tipps probiert, wie Kämme mit Shampoo, Geschirrspülmittel oder Waschmittel zu waschen etc. bis ich dann schließlich die Methode gefunden habe, die wirklich funktioniert. Yeah.

So reinigt man einen (Kunststoff, Karbon, Metall) Kamm wirklich gründlich von Talgablagerungen

Der Trick ist den Kamm mit Zitronensaft in heißem Wasser einzulegen. Dazu legt man den Kamm in eine hitzebeständige Form oder in die abgeschlossene Spüle. Der Kamm selber muss auch hitzebeständig sein.

Dann presst man eine halbe bis ganze Zitrone aus und verteilt den Zitronensaft auf den Kamm. Im Anschluss erhitzt man Wasser zum Beispiel in einem Wasserkocher bis es zum Kochen beginnt und schüttet das heiße Wasser auf den Kamm, bis er komplett in heißem Wasser eingetaucht ist und lässt die Zitrone dann circa eine halbe Stunde einwirken und das Wasser abkühlen.

Danach spült man den Kamm ab und reinigt ihn noch mit einer Bürste. Die Ablagerungen sind dann wie durch Magie verschwunden.

Einen Nachteil hat die Methode allerdings, Kämme aus Plastik bleichen durch die Prozedur aus und verlieren die Farbe. Dafür hat man aber wieder einen wirklich sauberen Kamm.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Kanntet ihr die Methode bereits? Wie reinigt ihr eure Kämme?

How to clean a comb with lemon and hot water

English

Everyone who uses a comb probably knows the problem. After a while, combs become gross. Even if you rinse them off daily, over time sebum accumulates between the comb teeth which is very difficult to impossible to remove.

I used to try to clean combs with a small screwdriver or brush, but it's a Sisyphean task and never really worked out well.

I did some research on the internet and tried all kinds of tips like washing combs with shampoo, dish detergent, laundry detergent, etc. until I finally found the solution that really works. Yeah.

How to clean a (plastic, carbon, metal) comb really thoroughly from sebum

The trick is to soak the comb in hot water with lemon juice. To do this, place the comb in a heatproof mold or in the closed sink. The comb itself must also be heat resistant.

Then squeeze a half to whole lemon and spread the lemon juice on the comb. Then heat water, for example in a kettle, until it starts to boil and pour the hot water onto the comb until it is completely immersed in hot water and then let the lemon soak for about half an hour and let the water cool down.

Then rinse the comb and clean it with a brush. The deposits are then gone as if by magic.

However, the method has a disadvantage, combs made of plastic bleach through the procedure and lose their color. But you have a really clean comb again.

What do you think? Did you know the method? How do you clean your combs?

8Thanks for sharing such post. I hate to use dirty comb and whenever I gone anywhere, I keep my comb with me. Medically its harmful to use dirty comb.

Good trick! Lucky I don't have to use a comb.🤣🤣

I really don't care about the color of my comb if this method does really work out. So, yeah, you have done a great thing sharing this. Now I won't be struggling with my cleaning my comb anymore. Thank you.

it depends how much hair someone has😅.
I'm a fan of metal and folk.
sometimes I am surprised by the comb of someone who has very short hair

Habe ich tatsächlich nie getestet, aber ich nutze auch seit Jahren nur eine Bürste. 😅

I have never cleaned my comb and it's getting pretty gross. I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing 👍

Interessant, davon habe ich bisher noch nichts gehört.

I have never used the method but I have a lot of lemons to try.

lemons are somehow very useful to clean many things, I use lemon with vinegar to clean my kitchen.

lemon and vinegar are really very useful for cleaning and also have a lot of health benefits :)

Auch ich bin kein Kämmer. Aber trotzdem gut zu wissen! :)

Loading...

Na darauf wäre ich nicht gekommen, aber gut zu wissen. Ich benutze immer eine Bürste mit Seife und bis jetzt hat's gut funktioniert.

Really great tip. I think all the combs these days coming are heat resistant.

Ich rasiere mir den Kopf mit einem Langhaar Schneider. Da ist das nicht

Ich benutze keine Kämme :)

What a great trick! I didn't know this, maybe it will help me with the problem at home, it's a very hygienic way to keep our utensils to beautify our hair. Thanks for sharing with us.

I like yout idea of using lemon i will try it .

  • Here is my natural method that im using to clean my comb :

1- Remove any loose hair from the comb by running your fingers or a toothpick through the teeth.

2- Fill a bowl or sink with warm water and add a few drops of mild liquid soap or shampoo. You can also use a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar.

3- Place the comb in the soapy water or vinegar solution and let it soak for about 10-15 minutes. This will help loosen any dirt, oils, or product buildup.

3- Use an old toothbrush or a small brush with soft bristles to scrub the comb gently. Pay close attention to the teeth and any grooves or crevices. This will help remove any remaining debris.

4- Rinse the comb thoroughly under running water to remove any soap residue. Make sure to rinse off all the cleaning solution.

5- Pat dry the comb with a clean towel or let it air dry completely before using it again.

Additional tips:

If your comb is made of a delicate material like wood or certain types of plastic, avoid soaking it for too long or using harsh cleaning agents as they can damage the comb.
For a natural disinfectant, you can add a few drops of tea tree oil or lavender oil to the warm water. These essential oils have antimicrobial properties.
Regularly cleaning your comb will help maintain its hygiene and prevent the transfer of oils and dirt to your hair. Aim to clean it at least once a month or more frequently if it gets visibly dirty or sticky.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning if your comb has any specific recommendations.

This is well detailed explained
