What do you ladies use to clean your beauty blenders or other brands of blending sponges? I tried washing mine with a bar of cetaphil soap and it worked great at cleaning. it still has a stain ob it though. here's a pic of how it looks after cleaning. sorry I didn't include one of it before cleaning so you could see the difference. but I recommend using cetaphil.

I clean my Beauty blender with baby shampoo mostly, but there are times I've used the Neutrogena facial wash and it worked just as well.

I clean my sponges with antibacterial liquid soap but I use 91% alcohol as a solvent first to dissolve the oils and break down any sebum that may be in there. You can get out stains by using either a bit of lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide and leaving the dampened sponge in a sunny window.

Buy a new one. They breed bacteria.
