Ship Shape® Comb & Brush Cleaner (2 lb. box) is the fast, reliable way to break down stubborn product buildup before disinfection—so your tools stay cleaner, look better, and perform the way they should. From hairspray residue and gel to lotions, oils, and color stains, this multipurpose cleaner helps you reset combs, brushes, and rollers efficiently while supporting a more polished, professional station.
In busy salons, barbershops, and spas, pre-cleaning is the step that makes disinfection actually work. Ship Shape is designed to remove the grime and film that can cling to tools and surfaces, making it an ideal choice for daily backbar routines and end-of-day resets.
Why Pre-Cleaning Matters in Professional Settings
Disinfectants work best on tools that are already clean. When product residue and oils remain on combs and brushes, they can reduce the effectiveness of your disinfection process and leave tools looking dull or dirty—even after they’ve been soaked.
Ship Shape supports proper sanitation protocols by helping you thoroughly pre-clean implements before they’re immersed in your disinfectant solution, aligning with EPA-related requirements referenced in many state regulations.
