So so so many people skip the cleaning part. They just throw it in the disinfectant and think that’s good enough. Thanks for teaching the proper way ❤️

[@EricasNails]

Always trying to uplift and elevate the industry! Thank you for your support.

[@fitfournails]

Great video and information💕💕

[@EricasNails]

Hey, thank you!

[@kimberlydagenais8491]

This video is so helpful! I purchased your cleaning kit for bits. Since math is not my forte I am not sure how much Lucas - Cide to use if I only want to fill the small jar the kit comes with. Lucas - Cide suggests using up the premixed concentrate with in three days but I don't need to mix a whole gallon. I estimate abut a quarter of a teaspoon per jar of water. Probably less. If you can help me figure it out it would be so helpful. :)

[@EricasNails]

Hi there! The mix ratio is 0.5 oz of concentrate to 1 gallon of water - The cleaning jar holds 2 oz so it comes to 0.0078 oz of concentrate, so a very small amount!

[@jusranada]

❤Thank you for sharing sharing

[@EricasNails]

You are SO welcome!

[@haralynn8025]

I bought an ultrasonic cleaner but it leaves weird rust looking spots on my tools so I quit using it. Do you know what is causing that?

[@DeliasNailStudio]

I see so many people on social media say that they only clean their tools with isopropyl alcohol or 100% acetone and don’t use a disinfectant. It drives me nuts because they are spreading false information.

[@EricasNails]

Ooof that's tough to hear. The disinfection step is required in all states- hopefully professionals will learn the correct way!

[@c.flores9196]

Very informative! Thank you! Although you mention no need to disinfect if planning on sterilizing, is there any benefit if we do and do all 3 steps or is it pointless and just go straight to sterilizing after cleaning?

[@EricasNails]

You don't have to disinfect if you're going to sterilize because sterilization will remove all harmful microorganisms in the process 🙌

[@chriestoff2]

Hey, what do you do with the nail files, can this device also sanitise nail files? i saw a nail file in one of your pouches with a nail clipper?

[@manningnatoya]

Great information where did you get the pouches

[@EricasNails]

You can find them all over- ours are from Amazon!

[@joannaskop8508]

Can you please make a video how to sterilize tools in Enbio autoclave?:)

[@joannaskop8508]

Please disregard. I found your video with sterilization 😊👍

[@carmentoro2864]

Hi Erica...Once I soak my tools in lucaside, if I pass the minute will it damage my tools?? And once I soak my tools in the lucaside I have to discgarge it after each use?

[@EricasNails]

hi there! that's completely okay if it passes the next 3 minutes. but recommended is to stick to the labels recorded time. Try to avoid long periods of soaking to delay rusting.

[@nat7611]

so wait, is lucascide an epa approved disinfectant for salons?? I was taught to use barbicide, but I’ve been wanting to switch, and can’t find much information online about the two.

[@EricasNails]

lucascide is EPA approved 🙌

[@lexielee6320]

If I'm using Lucas Cide RTU to soak bits for disinfecting how can I properly dispose of the Lucas Cide RTU afterwards?

[@EricasNails]

It's safe to dispose in the sink 👌

[@lexielee6320]

@@EricasNails awesome! thank you so much!!

[@jenthoughh]

Hi! Do I need to do all of this for my own personal nail tools?

[@EricasNails]

yes! this process needs to be done for all tools no matter if they are our own. better to be safe than sorry 🤩

[@snoopy4802]

Doesn't warm water make any fungus grow? I got a bad infection from the nail salon. My doctor said to avoid warm water to use cold.

[@EricasNails]

The warm water helps remove any debris and dirt, but the tools must be completely dry before storing. If you went in for a dry mani or pedi, there's a chance the salon didn't allow enough time for the tools to dry or didn't clean them properly.

[@juvelynlubinto9990]

Can i use this video for a project

[@EricasNails]

Of course! 🥰💕

[@nailcouture4577]

Can i use acetone for disinfect my drill bits and cutter? In my country they don't sale barbicide or do online delivery of these products

[@EricasNails]

Acetone does not disinfect or kill microbes. What country do you live in?

[@gloriagonzalez8361]

I have the same situation,there is no way to find the products.I live in Cuba. Any sugestions? 🙏

[@allisonelaines]

Are they water safe? If so, maybe boil or steam them? ​@@gloriagonzalez8361

[@CatatonicallyYours]

Alcohol 90%

[@keilana6]

So if I use power bits at home, what do I use?

[@EricasNails]

we recommend Lucas-Cide! Here's a link w/ a promo code: ericasata.com/pages/disinfectant

[@gayaika]

can i use any disinfectant to clean my impliments?

[@EricasNails]

Absolutely! as long as its EPA approved💎

[@jacquelinearmijo5498]

So the spray is just for surfaces not tools? And then the gallon is for tools?

[@EricasNails]

Lucas-cide can be used for both! You can use the gallon to refill your spray bottle or pour into your disinfection container.
