I'm not sure what you mean by a scalp cleaner.I use Pure adhesive remover to clean the glue off my head.Then I just shampoo my scalp a couple of time to get all oily residue out.I also use 99% alcohol to wipe my scalp and make sure it's squeaky clean.I then apply my scalp protector and whatever attachement method I use.....re shampoos it's recommended to use a sulfate-free shampoo,example: L'Oreal EverPure sulfate-free shampoo.

Hope that helps
