How to Sanitize Grooming Equipment

We are often asked “how should I sanitize my grooming tools”... and the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all! Today Allison explains her different ways to disinfect and clean grooming equipment depending on the type of tool; including combs, brushes, clippers, shears and more.

Artero blade wash is excellent, you can leave blades in it if you are in holiday to keep lubricated and they do not rust. Excellent product. You can clean shears/ thinners with it also.

Thanks Allison! Last time I went to grab a bottle of Barbasol I read all those warnings I left it on the shelf. I use Listerine to disinfect a lot of things, never thought of using it on the grooming equipment.👍 I used to use alcohol to clean blades and I had issues with them pitting maybe I wasn't getting them dry enough or getting enough oil on afterwards. 🤷

Do you mix it with water? Her video shows zero alcohol? Is it one zero one or regular
