The double-sided design saves you time and is super convenient as there's no need to add any cleansers or water.

Compact design to fit in your makeup bag. How to use: Secure the Palmat® to your hand using adjustable straps or position upright in your sink with the firm-hold suction cups. Wet your brush under warm, running water. Apply one to three pumps of your favourite makeup brush cleanser directly onto your brush fibers or the WASH texture. Swirl your brush on the WASH texture, using Face textures for larger brushes and Eye textures for smaller brushes. Move the brush up and down on the REFINE texture to ensure all makeup is removed. Gently squeeze your brush bristles to remove the excess water.

Troubleshooting
Suction cups not holding the mat in place.
Ensure the sink surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Dampen the suction cups slightly before pressing them firmly onto the surface. If the surface is textured or dirty, the suction may not be effective.
Makeup residue still present on the brush after use.
Ensure you are using the correct texture for your brush size (Face textures for larger brushes, Eye textures for smaller brushes). Swipe the brush multiple times or apply a small amount of brush cleanser and use the REFINE texture for a more thorough clean.
Mat does not effectively remove dark pigment.
For stubborn pigments, consider using the mat with a dedicated brush cleanser as intended for deep cleaning. Ensure the brush fibers are completely cleaned on the WASH texture.
