Abstract: A grooming brush for cleansing and stimulating the human scalp or the skin of fur bearing animals wherein contaminants are scraped from the scalp or skin during grooming with the brush. The brush is provided with a plurality of hollow bristles that collect contaminants such as sebum, dead cell tissue, shampoo, conditioner, oils and dirt from the scalps and hair follicles of humans and animals. A compressible spacer is positioned within the brush body to support a rigid plate provided with a plurality of cleaning tines employed to remove the contaminants collected by the hollow bristles. A retainer cap having an opening therein maintains the rigid metal plate, spacer, and brush body into a unitary structure. After a grooming operation, manual pressure is applied through the retaining cap opening to the rigid plate to compress the spacer and force the connected tines thereon through the individual hollow bristles to expel any collected contaminants therefrom.
