How to Clean Your Solar Buddie
- Disassemble the parts: Pull off the top cap, unscrew the yellow container base, and pop out the roller ball and sponge ring carefully.
- Wash with soap and warm water: Fill a bowl with warm water and a dash of washing-up liquid, then place the components inside.
- Scrub buildup: Use a bottle brush to clean inside the small holes, around the roller ball opening, and twist the brush over the roller ball to remove old sunscreen.
- Rinse and dry: Rinse every part thoroughly under running tap water until it runs clear, then place them on a draining board to air dry completely before reassembling.
Storage and General Care Tips
- Avoid high heat: Keep your applicator out of direct sunlight and temperatures exceeding 30°C to prevent warping or product breakdown.
- Keep away from sand: Do not use the applicator on sandy bodies, as sand will wedge into the sponge and roller ball, causing it to malfunction.
- Choose the right lotion: Fill your Solar Buddies South Africa vessel with SPF 30 or higher using a medium-to-thick cream consistency, avoiding runny sprays that can leak.
