Cleaning of Professional Cutting Machines from A to Z

Clippers are considered essential tools in any barbershop. Moreover, they are also among the most used tools in such a location.

Regardless of the type of clipper you use, its specifications, or its wear resistance, one thing is certain: to extend its lifespan, it is necessary to clean it constantly with the utmost care.

Everything you need to know about proper clipper cleaning

Even though professional clippers stand out from ordinary ones available on the market due to numerous performance specifications, a high level of wear resistance, and extended usage time, this does not mean they will last indefinitely, especially if they are not properly maintained.

In fact, hair is the greatest threat to such a tool. Why? Well, during the blade cutting process of the clipper, both larger and smaller hairs will clog all the holes in the device.

On the other hand, the electrostatic energy produced by blade friction will electrify the freshly cut hair, which will be attracted like a magnet to the tool's main blade. Once the hair penetrates inside the clipper, the natural oil from the hair will act like glue, preventing it from being easily removed. In other words, the clipper will no longer cut with the same precision and, in some situations, may even emit unusual sounds.

What to do? First of all, we recommend removing the blade of the clipper (if it's detachable) and clearing the trapped hair with the help of a special brush (generally, clippers also come with a cleaning brush).

The next step is to scour the tool to remove the grease left by hair on its components. Additionally, in the process of disinfecting the clipper, it is necessary to use a professional solution. For instance, on our site, you will find numerous articles for disinfecting tools, such as Made For The Blade – the disinfectant spray for clippers.

With an anti-rust formula, this product offers three significant benefits, extending the life of the clipper. First of all, it is ideal for lubricating the clipper, as it forms a thin lubricating film, reducing wear and keeping the blades sharp for a long time. It also plays a primary role in cleaning the tool, removing not only hair or dust but also dirt particles between the blades, and thirdly, it proves extremely effective in cooling the clipper, contributing to its proper functioning.

In case you have decided to disassemble the clipper, it is recommended not to use oil in the cog area of its motor. Alternatively, you can opt for petroleum jelly, as it is more resistant to higher temperatures and will not drip.

Do not forget that disinfecting the clipper must be done after every client to prevent both the spread of bacteria and the generation of numerous sensitivities at the scalp level.
