How to: Sanitise and Disinfect Nail Implements | Salon Infection Control and Hygiene | Clarissa Ama

Hey! In this video, I show how I sanitise and disinfect my nail tools/implements. This is a very essential task that nail technicians must complete as often as needed to ensure the safety of all clients. This is the way that I disinfect my implements, hopefully, you can learn something new from this video.

THANK YOU FOR DOING IT RIGHT!!!! So many people just dump the barbicide in without measurement and that can cause skin irritation, thank you for measuring!

[@Poppi_Weasel]

using rusty tools tho...🙄

[@madeline6888]

This was so needed! It definitely will help your clients feel more secure. I also think its such a great idea that you make separate pouches for each client. I believe all nail techs should take on the “sanitary pouches” idea on board if not already ❤️

[@ClarissaAma]

Thank you! I think so too💖

[@candicemonique6843]

Never store disinfected implements in airtight pouches unless they are sterilized in an autoclave or dry heat (not bead) sterilizer.

[@KeanuReevolution]

They're not airtight given there's still air in them

[@kaseylewis417]

Always here for your videos! Dont find many British nail techs on youtube xx

[@ClarissaAma]

Thank you💜💜x

[@carlam.crawford200]

Wow, thank you for recording this video, what an excellent demonstration... I completely never thought about purchasing my own self-sealing sanitation pouches or an abundant supply of nail implements that are used repeatively, duh! (I am a beginning nail tech, I received my license in cosmetology) but I will now, I appreciate the thorough job that you did. Great job, thanks again!👍

[@martynaw3025]

Those pouches are supposed to be put in a steriliser such as autoclave. She did everything great but that one very important step is missing :( unfortunately those tools aren’t ready as they are not sterilized x

[@2013Queen]

I like that you scrub them and disinfect them, also the idea of the pouches, but the equipment is still not sterile. Look into autoclave or heat steam for sterilization

[@ClarissaAma]

Okay thanks I will💕

[@mesomac4509]

this was honestly so useful, thanks sis x

[@SimranPersad]

Thank you so much!! Loved the video, super helpful and informative!

[@sunflower6434]

I do mine at home, and have not training, I thought I was saving money, but didn’t realise I had to clean my own tools after using them, I gave myself nail fungus, had treatment for it by the doctor, and started doing my nails again and cause I didn’t clean my tools; I gave myself nail fungus AGAIN. … so this is very helpful on how to not get it again….especially since I don’t have training.

[@artisticanna5275]

Love the video and now falling in love with your channel 💞

[@tabsafora3613]

YESSS thank you loveeee !!!

[@yohanasirenayls6466]

Thank you for the video- I’m starting this nail world is Dawn ok to use when washing my tools.?

[@yasmineroseboro8063]

Great video! What about sterilization?

[@robertadavies7231]

Hi im wanting to buying a sterilise box but not sure what solution you use

[@TA-bk1ep]

This has been so helpful, thank you! Out of curiosity, are you insured or do you think that’s not necessary for us UK nail techs? Thanks!x

[@ClarissaAma]

I’m glad it was! I am not insured yet however, I am still looking for a good insurance provider. I would advise all nail techs to get insured.

[@Sinderella1987]

Definitely got a subscriber from this

[@Preteahumblegirl]

Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@marthasdays]

Where is your disinfectant container from ? X

[@christolcopeland]

We have to let our soak in barber side and then clean them and dry them and put them in a safe place to where they can’t be touched

[@CHRIS80MIC]

Hi! Thank you for sharing. Where can we find the container you're using to disinfect your implements?

[@yumyum215]

You can find them on amazon search (implement sterilization box) .

[@nicole1O06]

Can you use boiling water when disinfecting instead of a disinfectant solution?

[@lindsaytang9111]

Where do you get the individual sealed bags for implements?

[@ClarissaAma]

From my local nail supply

[@amandaables3773]

Thank you love it what are the bags called?

[@ClarissaAma]

sanitation pouches💓

[@harleenkaur5279]

Hii can you please help me whenever i am doing nail extensions and every time the blood is come out of clients while cutting the cuticles then what will i di is it dangerous for me?? Or clients plz help me

[@abbies7142]

Can you reuse the barbecued or do you have to renew every time?

[@ClarissaAma]

I don’t reuse it

[@jessicaduncan835]

do you dump the barbicide in the sink once you're finished or do you soak it up in kitchen roll? Im just unsure if its like monomer where it can't go down drains xx

[@mariahfrausto7407]

same

[@jasminepruitt8418]

barbicide can be poured down the drain

[@selfproclaimedprincess4786]

What sizes are the pouches so i can order on amazon??

[@andreadelarosa4249]

i’m wondering the same thing !!!

[@airondmalabanan6084]

[@kelechiuche7581]

[@ClarissaAma]

Hey I got it from ebay, I can’t find the link x

[@kelechiuche7581]

@@ClarissaAma dw found it babe x thank you

[@xoiyanna____]

Where is the box from?

[@ClarissaAma]

Its from ebay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353213395729

[@taz5781]

Hey where is the Anti soap from x

[@ClarissaAma]

Hey its an antibacterial soap from Superdrug. I just pick up any random one when i’m out shopping💜💜

[@jasminefarrington8364]

Hi I’m late, but theoretically how many implements show a nail tech have?

[@ClarissaAma]

Hey it depends on how many clients you do a day, I have 4-5 a day so I have 6 of each implement

[@SandraaLondon]

Out of curiosity, how often do you sanitise the stuff? x

[@ClarissaAma]

At the end of every day I work. Because I separate the implements into separate sanitisation pouches it’s easier to do so. Once I’ve used the implements in a pouch, I will place it in a dirty implements container and at the end of the day disinfect them and put them in fresh sanitisation pouches for the next day💜

[@mizsab365]

great video

[@jazzedbybari]

how often should i be cleaning my tools, and does the disinfectant liquid smell!?

[@JRoseTTV]

After each use and barbicide doesn’t smell once you mix it as directed

[@emilyotto2722]

Can we have the direct link to the pouches hun

[@ClarissaAma]

www.hollywoodnailssupply.co.uk/product/sterilizer-tool-bags-2/

[@pristinabread]

I was wondering if I could put them in my dishwasher. I am the only one who uses them.

[@ClarissaAma]

I’d advise just scrubbing them by hand with a brush, I’ve never used a dishwasher or know anyone who has used a dishwasher for this purpose .

[@CarlaSilva-iy4xk]

I have a question: is it a must to have a certificate if you’re or want to become a home based nail tech??

[@ClarissaAma]

Its not a must in the UK to have a qualification if you are home based, however, i would advise everyone to have a qualification/certificate or license💜

[@infecti0uss]

It will be different in each country and then province/state. In Canada in my province, it is not required, but the next province over it is. A lot of the Asian nail salons are allowed to practice by apprenticing this way with no certification around Canada and USA. I went through the schooling right up until the final exam but then got really ill, so I never finished. BUT I did learn all about the science/bacteria/virus/sterilization aspect and how to do a set, care for my supplies, everything but the final exam to get my cert. So I've made the decision to start doing nails for family and friends only. I just can't cover the cost of all the supplies without charging. As long as thorough research and care to be sterile is taken and follow laws/regulations I feel it's fine as long as you are transparent to clients.

[@selfproclaimedprincess4786]

Its recommended in the USA to have your state license but alot of home techs dont. But its dangerous because anyone can report you to state board for practicing without a license if you charge for it and you can be fined heavily for that

[@Grellibe]

I'm not a nail tech but I want to do at home manicures for my family and friends. Can I wash the tools with soap and water and then put them in the oven to heat up? Also, is using rusty tools safe? I know the clipper wasn't caked in rust, but it's still a scary sight to see rusty tools that are coming in contact with my skin.

[@ClarissaAma]

I’m not too sure of that method. But I wouldn’t recommend using rusted tools, I removed the rust with baking soda. It wasn’t severe rusting, it was only a little due to me leaving it in the barbicide for too long. I would NEVER use a rusted tool on a client.

[@ClarissaAma]

If they do rust and you can’t remove it, you should throw them in the bin, like I stated in the video💓

[@victoriaparedes9326]

Can ceramic nail bits go through the same process??

[@victoriaparedes9326]

Oh wait I think I see a ceramic in the video

[@ClarissaAma]

yeah💞

[@allyboo8417]

This is done after every client right?

[@staci9145]

Yes and no, if you don't have enough implements for each single client then yes. But you don't want to keep cleaning implements after each single client wasting time. You want to have bulk of implements to clean each night.

[@floritoons4714]

Question: after doing all this , is there anything else i need to do after in order to clean my tools? Or is this all i need to do?

[@QNefertyty]

You need to sanitize the tools 1. Clean 2. Disinfect 3. Sanitize

[@ClarissaAma]

You could also sterilise them in an auto-clave

[@abrielle655]

Are you supposed to clean them in between clients?

[@Libragrl]

I know you asked her lol but all of my clients have their own tools, I take 4 a day so I have 4 of everything and then clean them at the end of the day

[@ClarissaAma]

yeah i do this💕💕

[@marisolgomez5579]

How about the nail files??

[@ClarissaAma]

I use disposable nail files

[@rienyercanilang2757]

Don't use one of cuticle nippers this actually creates hangnail what you need to do instead is push back your cuticle and then use a seraper to take of all of the dead skinon top the nail

[@grapefruit7095]

I don’t use cuticle nippers on clients because it’s illegal in many places

[@Dangersdi]

Actually if you get the right nail files you can disinfect them I'll get you a link for some but yer you just need to get the professional nail files and you spray them with alcohol and then let them dry

[@Callieforniiaa]

Ooooo idk about putting them directly in the sink… sorry don’t think it’s very sanitary. Use a bowl or something

[@ClarissaAma]

I always clean the sink before putting implements in. A bowl could be seen as unsanitary too but as long as you clean it before use there shouldn’t be a problem.

[@Missperl]

Barbecide will not rust implements.

[@ClarissaAma]

It will, if the implements are left in there for too long.

[@Poppi_Weasel]

anything rusted should be thrown out Immediately, not eventually. rust can cause gangrene 🤮🤯

[@BaltaTana]

Use gloves 😭

[@ClarissaAma]

I will next time thanks💖
