Draw enough warm water in the washbowl to cover the bristles, but not the back of the hair brush, add three or four tablespoonfuls of ammonia (household, not bath ammonia), shake and swish the brushes around in the water, then rinse in a similar mixture, lastly rinsing again in hot water, then stand the brushes in th* sun by an open window, bristles down, on a> towel, to dry. Whisk brooms, clothes brushes, shoe brushes and any other Bind, may be cleansed in th* same manner without injuring th* backs or breaking the bristles.
