Dear Pat,
I place the brushes and combs in a jar (canning jar) or bowl, then add a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. Then I add the hottest water I can get from the tap and soak it about an hour. Then rinse and dry them on a clean towel. It works every time.
Hope it helps,

I am so lazy! I carry my hairbrushes and combs into the shower on shampoo day, and after I've lathered up I run the combs and brush through my hair-carefully to avoid tearing the hair.
Nothing cleans the hair brush and comb better than shampoo:)
Put it in a sinkful of hot soapy water.
I vacuum the hair out of my hairbrushes, then throw them in the sink with a squirt of dishwashing liquid. Swish them around and then lay them on a towel to dry.
I have one of those wide-apart brushes for extra-curly hair, so cleaning it is relatively easy. My fingers fit between the rows, so I can work through to dislodge the hair. Once I've de-haired, I get a couple of drops of shampoo on my fingers and wipe through the rows of bristles. (Actually, they're more like semi-soft plastic teeth.) The way my mom used to clean her brushes designed for finer hair was to use a comb.
