Health professionals recommend a hygienic way to clean blades and scissors used in health care or hairdressing. You should discard single-use disposable clipper blades into a designated sharps container after a single use. Make sure that everyone in your shop is aware of where disposed blades are stored and keep them out of reach to prevent accidents. That way, you can safely dispose the blades later.
Between customers, you should clean hairdressing scissors and clippers with detergent and warm water. Then dry them thoroughly and wipe them with an alcohol swab.
For home use, you might want to clean your scissors in the dishwasher. Alternatively, you can soak them in hot water and dish detergent. Rinse and dry. To sterilise, use an alcohol swab. Leaving scissors soaking in water or wet for too long can cause them to rust - although many scissors have a special coating to prevent this.
