Cleaning your barber clippers is an essential part of maintaining hygiene and extending the life of your equipment. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to effectively and thoroughly clean your barber clippers.
1. Turn off the clippers and unplug them. Before starting the cleaning process, make sure the clippers are powered off and unplugged. This is very important for safety.
2. Remove excess hair: Use a small brush or toothbrush to remove loose hair and debris from and around the clipper blades. Gently brush away the hair, being careful not to damage the blade.
3. Disassemble the blade. Depending on the type of clippers you have, you may need to remove the blades for a thorough cleaning. Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on how to safely disassemble the blade. Some clippers have removable blades that can be easily removed, while others require a screwdriver or specific tools.
4. Clean the blades: Fill a small container or bowl with clipper blade cleaning solution. Dip the blade into the solution and use a soft brush or toothbrush to gently scrub away any residue or buildup. Pay close attention to the area between the teeth of the blade. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the blade.
5. Rinse and dry the blade. Once the blade is thoroughly cleaned, shake off any excess solution and use a clean, lint-free cloth or towel to dry the blade completely. Avoid leaving any moisture on the blade to prevent rust and corrosion.
6. Lubricate the blades: Apply a few drops of clipper blade oil or lubricant to the blades. This reduces friction, maintains smooth operation, and prevents rust. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific type of oil or lubricant recommended for your clippers.
7. Reassemble the blade. If you need to disassemble the blades, carefully reinstall the blades into the clippers according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure it is securely fastened and properly aligned.
8. Wipe the clippers: Use a clean, damp cloth or disinfectant wipe to wipe the body of the clippers to remove any dirt or residue. When using the product, be careful of the parts that your hands touch, such as the handle and switch.
9. Store your clippers properly: Once your clippers are clean and dry, store them in a clean and dry place. Consider using a protective case or cover to prevent dust and damage when not in use.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of your barber clippers is essential to maintain optimal performance and hygiene. Depending on how often you use it, we recommend cleaning your clippers after each use or at least once a day. By following these steps, you can keep your clippers in good condition and ensure a clean and comfortable experience for your clients.
