How to Clean Salon Equipment

Things you’ll need:
 Liquid and/or powder detergent
 Bleach
 Isopropyl alcohol, 80%
 Baking soda
 Clean soft rags
 Rubber gloves
 Face mask
Instructions:
1 Gather all hand-held tools such as nippers, clippers, nail pushers,
brushes, scissors, hair clips and anything else that needs to be sanitized.
Put them in a large tub full of hot water and let them sit for at least 30
minutes. Be sure to have your rubber gloves on.
2 Soak them in another tub filled with 80% alcohol for full disinfection. Let
them sit for no less than one hour.
3 Dry each and every tool using a soft clean rag. Pat them gently and avoid
vigorous rubbing.
4 Disinfect electrical equipment with alcohol wipes. Gently wipe off the
surface as well as the insides of the equipment using the wipes and let it sit
for about 30 minutes.
5 Scrub the sinks and counters using one part powdered or liquid detergent
and three parts water. Let it sit for an hour or so before rinsing.
6 Mix three parts water and one part baking soda and stir until totally
blended. Use the solution as a bleaching agent by dampening a clean cloth
and scrubbing all recently cleaned surfaces.
