This was actually a more accurate cleaning/disinfecting process than I’ve seen most nail techs too. I graduated cosmetology school then realized I actually enjoy doing nails more than anything (cos school is 90% hair, so essentially everything I know about nails is self taught), starting my nail tech job at a salon tomorrow & I wanted a refresher on how to thoroughly clean my tools. The video I watched before this, the girl literally just ran them under water (NO SOAP OR SCRUBBING😬) then tossed them in barbicide… she was *in nail school* doing this too. Anyway, great video & thanks for the refresher!
Oh my!!! Good to know! 🫣👀😩 I definitely had to do my research about how to properly disinfect and clean my tools. But I’m surprised it’s not more widely taught to nail techs! Sanitation is 💯% important! Congrats on your new job as a nail tech in a salon!! That must be exciting! 🙌 I also really want to go to nail school!! I’m trying to find one locally that only teaches about nails because I don’t want to learn about hair! 🙅♀️💇🏻♀️ LOL 😂
@@CaroleAnnette thank you!!! I want to go to nail tech school too, bc since starting nails, I’ve come to learn the rabbit hole of nail technology goes DEEP!!! But I also figured since I already have my cos license, why wait & waste my time hating life at a minimum wage job I know I don’t want to be at when I have enough skills to get started on my career now? So at some point I’ll definitely go back & hone my craft!!! Good luck with your nail tech journey as well! 🫶🏽 And try to pick a *reputable* school since (as we can tell from my first comment) clearly not every establishment is professional. 😮💨😭
To be honest I never even thought to disinfect my nail tools since I only use them on myself. This will definitely be something I look into start doing. I most definitely do not want an infection at all
I DEFINITELY have been wanting a video like this! Thank you! Have you done a video on cleaning and caring for your e file bits? If not that may be a nice addition.
Literally never cleaned my tools before, other than a quick alcohol wipe 😬…. Until I got an infection! Whoops. I won’t be making that mistake again. Thanks for the demonstration ❤
This is such an important part of the beauty industry and self care in general. Sadly often overlooked but vital in safety especially in light of the global situation. It's so easy to be enticed by all the pretty colours and glitter ie. the fun part of nails. I also use an ultrasonic jewelery cleaner.
Wondering if putting disinfected tools back into wraps/protective holders that were not also sanitized could be a problem? Thanks for this helpful video!
🧐 good point! I dust my tools off before putting them in the sleeves again; but looks like I may need to soak those in the soapy water to be extra sure
Great, informative video, thank you for this. I just got a UV-C box and sterilized all my nail tools. But like a dummy that I can be, totally forgot to wash them first! 🤦🏻♀️😂😂 If you know more about the UV-C sterilization method, I’d love to hear more about it, as I don’t know much about it lol
I definitely clean them the same way. Some bits may request extra attention when you’re scrubbing them, because they have such tiny grooves, and nail dust gets stuck in between them. I use something like tweezers to dig the dust out.
Thank you so much for this very informative video! I’ve never fully disinfected my nail tools. How often does it need to be done? Also, I’d love to see a video on how you clean your brushes. 😄
I would clean my brushes the same way, but I haven’t been able to get rid of the color staining …. So I actually toss mine 😱😅 (except the super pretty ones, which I rarely use - those I spray with rubbing alcohol)
I toss mine after they look too stained, but in between that, I scrub them in hot soapy water. They can also be added to the Barbicide (I just ran out of space for this video and couldn’t include my brushes and drill bits)
how would you clean non-glass files? I spray them with disinfectant and let air dry, They're just for myself and I don't want to toss after one use. Do you think that is safe?
I think this video is a great demo for sanitizing and disinfection. There’s usually 3 processes you can follow: Sanitation, Disinfection, Sterlization. You may want to look into sterilization techniques, as that takes it a step further past disinfection. You’ll have to buy an autoclave device to be able to properly sterilize them, which will kill off infective organisms.
@@adairisocanas863 it needs to be changed 1x a day (so every 24 hours after mixing the solution). The Barbicide shouldn’t get contaminated if you properly scrub all your tools with hot soapy water prior to putting them in the barbicide. If you skip the scrubbing step; then you should change your Barbicide after each use.
My mom was a beautician and put all her combs and brushes in the cleaner, so you could put all your nail brushes in there next before tossing the liquid.

Thank you for this! More people need to clean and sanitizer their tools, even when you only use it on yourself!
I DEFINITELY have been wanting a video like this! Thank you! Have you done a video on cleaning and caring for your e file bits? If not that may be a nice addition.
I treat them the same way. This jar was full, so right after I filmed this, I cleaned those too.

This was extremely informative!! Thank you, I’ve just been using alcohol but I’m going to look into the barbicide now!
That's such useful information! Thank you for going over this!
Thanks for this. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever disinfected my tools before. Time to start!!
Thank you for sharing this amazing disinfectant video!! This truly makes me so happy!!! ♥️
Omg! Thank you for doing this video. So helpful ❤️❤️
Fabulous video 🤩😍💓! Cleaning our tools is very important. Thank you making so many aware.🥰😘.
Just ordered the goods you suggested to be able to start disinfecting my tools!!! Thank you!!!
🙌 yesssss
Thank you . I always just was them. Thank you Much 💜
So helpful! Thanks for sharing, I will be purchasing these items for sure

🧐 good point! I dust my tools off before putting them in the sleeves again; but looks like I may need to soak those in the soapy water to be extra sure
If the sleeve have never held an item that was not disinfected it should be fine.
Great, informative video, thank you for this. I just got a UV-C box and sterilized all my nail tools. But like a dummy that I can be, totally forgot to wash them first! 🤦🏻♀️😂😂
If you know more about the UV-C sterilization method, I’d love to hear more about it, as I don’t know much about it lol
Thanks very informative
Thanks for the video. Can you also clean your efile bits this way?
I definitely clean them the same way. Some bits may request extra attention when you’re scrubbing them, because they have such tiny grooves, and nail dust gets stuck in between them. I use something like tweezers to dig the dust out.
@@CaroleAnnette thanks so much
the video was informative and pretty accurate; however you should disinfect your brush you use to clean your implements as well.
Thank you so much for this very informative video! I’ve never fully disinfected my nail tools. How often does it need to be done? Also, I’d love to see a video on how you clean your brushes. 😄
I would clean my brushes the same way, but I haven’t been able to get rid of the color staining …. So I actually toss mine 😱😅 (except the super pretty ones, which I rarely use - those I spray with rubbing alcohol)
In my country they don't sale or do online delivery of barbicide what else can i use to disinfect my nail drill bits and cutters
Can you pour the barbacide down the drain when you're done? Or is it similar to acetone disposal that needs to evaporate instead?
I pour mine out down the drain 🤍
Very informative!! Do you also clean/disinfect your nail brushes? If so please share!!
I toss mine after they look too stained, but in between that, I scrub them in hot soapy water. They can also be added to the Barbicide (I just ran out of space for this video and couldn’t include my brushes and drill bits)
@@CaroleAnnette oh awesome, thanks!!
how would you clean non-glass files? I spray them with disinfectant and let air dry, They're just for myself and I don't want to toss after one use. Do you think that is safe?
I would use the scrub brush and scrub them in soapy water as well. They do sell washable hand files 🥰
Was that baby shampoo (soap) for the washing phase?
So I am doing my toenails # home because I have a fungal. Infection. Anything special to sanitize the tools in addition to cleaning?
I think this video is a great demo for sanitizing and disinfection.

How many times can u use the barbacide liquid after using it once already?
@@adairisocanas863 it needs to be changed 1x a day (so every 24 hours after mixing the solution).
The Barbicide shouldn’t get contaminated if you properly scrub all your tools with hot soapy water prior to putting them in the barbicide. If you skip the scrubbing step; then you should change your Barbicide after each use.

Yes 🙌 thanks for the advice! I’ve seen barbers use this! 💈
The Barbicide jug should tell you how long the disinfectant is good for 😉
Duh! 💡😅 didn’t even think to check.
@@CaroleAnnette Lol! No worries! I just thought I’d share that with you 😉
Why not use a clean container instead of a dirty sink?
I clean and sanitize my sink often, and that sink is only used for this and washing my hands after doing my nails. 🥰
