1. Always use solvent to loosen tape or adhesives before removing your system for cleaning.
2. Clean any and all tape or adhesive residue from the base, tape tab areas and hair in your system.
Use a good quality solvent, a natural citrus oil based product is best, and gently loosen any residue.
You may want to use a soft tooth brush to help remove residue in the hair and base material.
3. Use that same soft tooth brush to gently scrub the base material of your system anywhere you find any build of dirt or body oil and dandruff that can get trapped in the fibers of the material.
4. Use warm water and diluted shampoo to lather your system.
By diluting the shampoo you will find the soap rinses easily and more completely from the base and hair. Wash the system several times if necessary.
If you have a build up of product such as hair spray or gel on the hair, you can let the system soak in a basin of warm water with baking soda added.
Swish the system several times through this solution and the mild abrasive nature of the baking soda should remove the build up.
5. Always rinse your system well. Several minutes under a gently stream of warm water should do it but if you find the system is still a little dirty or oily shampoo the system again and when your rinsing hold the system by the front edge and let the water rinse through the base and keep the stream of water going in the same direction front to back so the hair does not back up into the base.
