TOP 3 Ways To Sterilize
FOR PROPER INSTRUMENT STERILIZATION A DEVICE CALLED AN “AUTOCLAVE” IS THE SAFEST BET FOR UV.
- Sterilizer Cabinet for Nail for Sterilization
- Barbicide Disinfectant
- Autoclave (most recommended, used in high end salons and spas)
It is an easy way for the professional groomer to disinfect comb, brushes, shears, and more. Kills ringworm, HIV virus, staph, bacteria, and other pathogens. Barbicide disinfectant contains a powerful rust inhibitor. Metals can be immersed for hours without rusting, but should be oiled afterward.
SOME TOOLS CAN’T BE SANITIZED
Only metal tools can be put in the autoclave. Other tools used in nail salons like pumice stones, emery boards, nail buffers and foam toe separators should be replaced after each use to prevent the spread of bacteria. That’s why the salon customer is better off bringing his/her own tools just in case the salon doesn’t follow the required practice of swapping out no metal tools after every use. Return To Nails >
BARBICIDE
While many salons use Barbicide, UV light sterilizer cabinets, or other chemical solutions to disinfect their tools, the only device that works completely to sterilize instruments is called an autoclave, which uses high pressure and steam to kills 100 percent of all infective organisms. The autoclave is also used by dentists. Return To Nails >
