Boiling water? That won't ruin her paint or melt her or anything??

Nope! Although if you're really worried about it, you could just dip the comb in the boiling water and then brush it through. Someone suggested I try that with Venus so as to avoid getting her flocking wet (cos even the steam from the boiled water can make it come off).

Awesome!
