Cleaning and disinfecting a razor, especially a straight razor, can be difficult because you want to avoid getting the scales or handle of your razor wet. For best results, try to avoid as much as moisture as possible, add oil to your cleaning regimen, and strop your blade whenever you can. Shears, like razors, must be disinfected and sterilized after every single-use. Using an approved chemical cleaner, rub a cotton ball to remove styling residue and other debris. You can also clean and oil them at the end of every day to maintain their quality.
Then, drop your shears for an approved amount of time into an approved sanitizing agent. These need to be sanitized and disinfected between every single use. Brushes with long bristles need to have the hair and debris cleaned from them with cleaning brushes and a cleansing cream to disinfect.
Store in a dry sanitation container until the next use. Combs can be used in liquid sanitizer and should be inserted after every use. Check the product specifications for a time limit. Remove all the debris from your clippers, disassemble your clippers, and use an approved liquid disinfectant to wipe down the blades, teeth, and accessories of the clippers. Then, drop all of the pieces into a container of disinfectant to soak. Be careful not to submerge any electrical components of your clippers!
From workspace rules to tool cleanliness, there are certain things you, by law, are not allowed to skimp on. You need wet sterilizers and dry sterilizers. Your brushes need to be sterilized after single customer use.
You need to meet the chemical and heat standards for sterilization purposes. The tools should be fully immersed in the solution for 10 minutes. This includes the handles of all combs and brushes. Before placing your barber tools in the Barbicide solution, you should scrub them using a brush with soap and water. This will remove all the debris, leftover hair, and product from your tools.
Rinse them with water and they are ready to go in the Barbicide solution. If you have tools that are already clean, remove them from the Barbicide before placing in other ones. If you place dirty tools in the Barbicide jar, you will contaminate the rest of the tools and liquid. The tools must remain immersed in the Barbicide solution for 10 minutes in order for it to be effective.
No less and no longer than 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the tools from the solution and rinse them with water. Remember to change your gloves before removing the tools from the solution. Do not handle the disinfected tools with the same gloves you handled them before disinfection. It will contaminate them. Dry the items with a clean towel and store them in a clean container with a lid.
Never store clean and dirty items together. Barbicide solution is also great for disinfecting all the non-porous surfaces in the barbershop. Do not try to disinfect single-use items such as neck strips.
Spraying Barbicide or any other approved barber disinfectant is a great way to sterilize and disinfect barber tools. Spray your items and leave it on for 10 minutes before wiping it off. For a fast clipper blades disinfection, in between customers, your best option is a disinfectant spray such as Andis Cool Care Plus, Clippercide, or Oster clipper spray.
Give your disinfectant time to do its job. Dipping your blades in Andis Blade Care solution while they are still running is a great way of deep cleaning and disinfecting your clipper tools without taking them apart. The Blade Care has an added decontaminant and vitamin E. It comes in a jar where you could dip your clipper blades, but I highly recommend not doing that. Especially in the UK where barbers aren't required to undergo training or get licenses before cutting hair or opening a shop.
Obviously we have to assume that most barbers do have hygiene as a priority, but if you are worried about your barbers hygiene in store, what can you do? For those of you that don't know, most barbers will use Barbicide the pot filled with blue liquid to disinfect and clean their combs, scissors and clipper heads.
They will also likely have spares that they use in between, if their tools are being disinfected. Barbers will also often use a disinfectant spray on their clippers between clients, which will get them ready for use on you! And as barbers are almost always using hair styling products for hairstyles, they will likely be washing their hands between cuts anyway!
