As a barber, your clippers and trimmers are the most essential part of your every day. Ensuring that your hair clippers and trimmers stay clean and hygienic will have numerous benefits for you and your clients!
Dirty clippers can cause all kinds of bacterias and infections if not properly taken care of. Minimal lubrication and hair build up in your clippers or trimmers are two of the main reasons why your machines may not be lasting as long as they should be. Giving your machines the proper care can enhance your cutting style and even save you a ton of money!
How Often Do You Clean Your Clippers or trimmers?
It all really depends on how often you are utilizing them. We recommend cleaning them after every use and oiling them after every two to three uses. This will help keep your blades sharp and prolong the life of your machine.
What Can I Use To Sanitize And Lubricate My Clippers And Trimmers?
You can use a special blade wash to guarantee your machines cleanliness or if you prefer you can use at home DIY cleanings but we recommend using blade washes. A clipper brush is also a must have when cleaning out your clipper as you want to make sure you remove all excess hair in between the blade.
There are numerous different blade wash that are 5-in-1 and they serve for the following:
Coolant
Disinfectant
Lubricant
Cleaner
Rust preventative
Making a routine of good cleaning practices will only add a few seconds to each haircut and will pay for itself in the long run. As the saying goes “Time is money!” and we always have more time than money. Invest some of it by properly taking care of your machines and save yourself the hassle of having to buy a new set of clippers or trimmers!
