Damp Cloth
Take a soft cotton cloth, and damp it in warm water. Make sure the water is not too hot to use, it should be warm slightly. After dampening the cloth, wring it until the water is rinsed out completely. The piece of cloth should be moist, not wet.

Masking Tape
Use of masking tape is also an effective way to clean the lint brush. You can start it with tearing off the masking tape up to about two inches, and wrapping it around the two fingers from non-sticky side of it until its two ends are met and stuck to each other. This will form a loop of the tape.
Place your two fingers inside the loop and then gently rub it on the surface of the brush. It will remove all the dust and other particles off the brush. Make sure you rub the brush softly, instead of pressing hard against the surface of the brush, which can damage it. -
