Professional Hair Clipper Cleaning from A to Z

Clippers are considered essential tools in any barbershop. They are also among the most commonly used tools in such locations.

Regardless of the type of clipper you use, its specifications, or its resistance to wear, one thing is certain: to extend its lifespan, you need to clean it constantly and with maximum attention.

Everything you need to know about properly cleaning clippers

Even though professional clippers are different from ordinary ones available on the market in terms of numerous performance specifications, high wear resistance, and prolonged use, that doesn't mean they will last forever, especially if they are not maintained correctly.

In fact, hair strands are the greatest threat to such a tool. Why? During the scissor action of the clipper blades, both larger and smaller hair strands will clog all the openings of the device.

On the other hand, the static electricity produced by the friction of the blades will electrify freshly cut hair strands, which will be magnetically attracted to the tool's main blade. Once the hair gets inside the clipper, the natural oil of the hair acts like glue, making it difficult to remove. In other words, the clipper will no longer cut as precisely and, in certain situations, may even make unusual noises.

What can be done? First, we advise you to remove the blade from the clipper (if it is detachable) and eliminate any stuck hair strands using a special brush (generally, clippers come with a cleaning brush).

The next step you should take is degreasing the tool to remove the grease left by the hair strands on its components. Additionally, in the disinfection process of the clipper, you should use a professional solution. For example, on our website, you will find numerous articles for disinfecting tools, such as the Made For The Blade – disinfectant spray for clippers.

With an anti-corrosive formula, this product provides three significant benefits, extending the lifespan of the clipper. First and foremost, 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 strands or dust but also dirt particles between the blades, and thirdly, it is extremely effective in cooling the clipper, contributing to its proper functioning.

If you have decided to disassemble the clipper, it's recommended not to use oil in the engine's gear area. Instead, you can opt for grease, as it is more resistant to higher temperatures and won't leak.

Remember that the clipper should be disinfected after each client to prevent both the spread of bacteria and the generation of numerous scalp sensitivities.
