Braun is the inventor of the Cleaning Center with over 10 years of experience in that area. Braun is the only brand using alcohol-based cleaning fluid which eliminates 99.999% of all germs and bacteria in every cleaning process. Tests have shown that using the Clean&Charge Station is 10 times more hygienic than simply rinsing the shaver under tap water. Furthermore, more than 150 consumers confirmed a noticeably closer shave and more than 110 consumers a better skin comfort after regular usage of the Clean&Charge Station*. And because regular cleaning provides optimal hygiene you can experience a fresh shave every day. If you run the cleaning procedure twice a week, you will only need to replace the refill cartridge every 2 to 3 months to experience a shaver like new, every day.
