You can clean and disinfect your beauty blender with a little bit of oil (extra virgin olive oil or any cooking oil) and a good amount of dish detergent (1 part oil and 2 part detergent). Mix the 2 in a container and soak your beauty blender, along with any other makeup brushes in the solution. Then take them out the container and place them under running warm water while squeezing all the makeup that has been built up on the blender or brushes. It will look BRAND NEW after doing this and will be free from any bacteria.

if in doubt, chlorine bleach is brutally effective at sterilizing and cleaning. why would you use vegetable oil, and where did you get that from? o.0' it might help dissolve fatty/waxy residues, but so does dishwashing soap. (or bleach)

The main reason these sponges mold is because some people put their damp sponges away where they cannot dry thoroughly such as a makeup bag or even a sponge case. They need to be in the open air to avoid mold growing. I've had the same Beauty Blender for longer than I'd like to admit and it doesn't have a mark on it nor any stains and I don't get breakouts.

The body of mold is typically invisible to the eye; the part we see is the reproductive structure, so it's possible that there actually was mold in that sponge. There wouldn't be any reproductive structure on the inside of the sponge; that's why it looks clean.

I washed mine everyday for at lest 2 months and it started to grow mould!

I personally replace mine sponge every 3 to 5 months, but that's just me. Because I am scared of bacteria growing that I can't see.

mabey the sponge was getting washed to much or it wasnt getting enough clean air which can create exteranal funguss plus you may have just uesed it for too long useally the recomended time of use is 3 to 4 mounths

I wash mine in really hot water, drop in alcohol and then let it dry. I've been using the same sponge(real techniques) and still looks brand new. Luckily, I have 7 different sponges.

The black spot is mildew and the reason that it is only on the outside is because the sponge is nice and dense and there is little oxygen to help the mildew grow.

I wash mine with a gentle bar soap and sterilize it using the microwave (I just put the wet sponge in for 30secs on high) and dry it after with a paper towel. Takes me 2 mins and I've never had any mold or gross build-up. I use the same sponge

How you was thinging that will something inside if you wash th sponge evry day

If you're worried about mould on sponges, after you do your makeup, wash the sponge and blow dry it... Any sponge that's getting wet all the time and not drying properly, can grow a mould of sorts It's like washing couch pillows... you put them through the washing machine and then dryer so the middle is getting dry just as well as the rest of it is

It's not the product that will make it moldy. It's the fact that its constantly wet if your using it every day. It's just something that needs to be replaced periodically if it's your go to.

I enjoyed watching your video. These are my favorite sponges. I only keep them for a few months and I wash them every day or two. I was also curious, so I looked up the manufacturer information and it says to replace them every 1-3 months. You are lucky it lasted so long. And of course, now I feel even better that it wasn't growing anything.

The recommended use of a beauty blender sponge or any sponge is a 2 months or 3 months max if cleaned on a regular basis

Oh man, that black spot definitely looks like mold!! I can’t believe you kept touching it.

Omg I was soo scared, haha 😅 What a relief that it's clean.

I love this video so beautiful xxx

Just because it wasn't in the middle doesn't mean it wasn't mold. The was definitely the beginnings of a mold outbreak.

I just subscribed. There's something different about you and the way you are in your videos (I presume all, I've just watched this one). What I don't understand is all the dislikes on this video, it was very interesting and we're glad that there was nothing funky in the sponge! Maybe people expected it to be rotting or something :( oh well. I look forward to more videos!

Remember to let the sponge fully dry before putting in container because damp airtight places are molds best friend!

I hate the thought of what mine look like inside lol great video x

This was really helpful

can i reuse a moldy sponge after it is cleaned thoroughly

If you put it in the microwave in some water for 30 seconds after you clean it with soap and let cool and then squeeze out all of the water and let air dry it will sanitize it for the next use. You just have to make sure it's completely dry.

The black spot could be because you had it drying but didn’t rotate it while drying. And to get your stains out completely use zote soap

oh my, if you wash it everyday of course it's gonna grow mold! if you add moisture to it every single day, it's gonna be perfect for bacteria and mold. Just get two or three and use another one every day. then there's enough time for the sponge to dry and the mold to die off. BTW, you have bugs everywhere on your body and it's pretty normal. e.g. in your lashes, you have little bugs living happily ever after because it's moist and warm and lots of nourishment.

Consider the kitchen sponge tests, all the bacteria found in them after only a few uses. I can just imagine these sponges and how quickly they get disgusting. Especially if kept in the bathroom. The middle takes forever to dry. If you like using them, I would recommend buying a bunch and switching at least weekly.

I had bought a real techniques sponge....this exact same one and it came with an orange hard case with it to "store it in" and it had venting holes in the sides of it so I figured 1-its made to be put in there for storage,2-it has vent holes so it should def be fine,and 3- I mean why would they sell it with that if your not supposed to put it into there after using?? Right? Hahahha nope,I used my blender....put it into the hard vented case and when I went to use it the next day....it had black on it just like this one! It had nothing on the inside but just black on the outside. I'm thinking that putting it into that hard case made it grow fungus on the outside layer of the sponge! But I just don't understand why they would sell the case with it if u can't put it in there damp after using. I don't like leaving my blenders out in the open due to dust and anything that may come into contact with it so I figured it was genius to have a little Case to fit in perfectly. Ha! Nope! They must have made it just to put in the case dry,but kinda dumb if u ask me...maybe if your traveling..yea put it in there while traveling but it's just kinda dumb I think. Anyone else have this issue or think that it's stupid to sell the sponge with the case but if u put ur damp blender into it it will mold on you!?! Idk, i just think it's pointless! Needless to say I threw out the case for it(and the sponge Ofcourse😉)lol just thought I would share.
