What does a large glass measuring cup, a potato masher and beauty blenders have in common? Well, if you love to get your beauty blenders clean and looking (almost) new, give this a try.

Fill the cup up with boiling water and add Dawn dish soap. Toss in the beauty blenders and use the potato masher to gently mash them clean. You can also use the masher to scoop them out and run them under cold water before wringing them out.
