Nail design: Clean tools and utensils with ultrasound
Drills, bits, and electric files are part of the basic equipment of every nail salon. They are not only essential for beautiful nails, but also contribute significantly to the health of the nail, nail bed, and cuticle. To ensure safe use of these tools, thorough and hygienic cleaning is essential. An ultrasonic cleaner is particularly effective and time-saving.
Why hygiene is so important in the nail salon
Nail salons are subject to the hygiene regulations of their respective districts. These stipulate precisely which agents and procedures must be used to clean and disinfect instruments. While surfaces require different treatment than skin or nails, drills, bits, and files must be hygienically cleaned after each client. This is the only way to reliably prevent germs, infections, and cross-contamination.
Advantages of ultrasonic cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning offers several advantages over manual cleaning:
-
Thoroughness: Even the smallest dirt and dust particles are removed by cavitation.
-
Time efficiency: Many tools can be cleaned at the same time.
-
Gentle: The sensitive attachments are cleaned without mechanical abrasion.
Especially in studios with many customers per day, the ultrasonic cleaner is a great relief in everyday work.
How ultrasonic cleaning works
-
Preparation: Remove coarse residues with a dust brush.
-
Filling the device: Fill the tank of the ultrasonic cleaner with water and add a suitable cleaning concentrate (e.g. EM-80 Universal Cleaner).
-
Inserting instruments: Place files, burs, and bits in the tray. Make sure the parts are completely submerged in liquid.
-
Start cleaning: Set the desired cleaning time. The device will do the work for you.
-
Follow-up: After cleaning, the tools can be drained in the device, then thoroughly dried and stored sterile.
Professional tip for nail salons
For efficient reprocessing, a device like the emmi®-steri 15 is recommended. Combined with the appropriate special cleaner, burs and bits are hygienically clean – and all in just a few minutes. This leaves more time in the studio for client care.
Conclusion
Hygienic cleaning of nail design tools is essential for treating clients safely and professionally. An ultrasonic device allows for thorough, quick, and gentle cleaning of the material. Ultrasonic cleaning of burs, bits, and files after each treatment and subsequent sterile storage lays the foundation for quality, safety, and satisfied customers.
