How to Disinfect Barber Tools Using Barbicide

[@andrewbean24.2]

Well in terms of scissors, by law in CA they have go in there, but barcicide can ruin japanese steel, so its better to spray with clippercide or cool care

[@nickvargas4999]

Good thing I watch this, I was going to only pour the barbicide in the jar

[@glenn2410]

Ong same

[@Ja2theRagu]

Lol me too 😂

[@b.a.mbarber4707]

Did that my first day at a shop 😂

[@lordleatch]

Sameeeeeee

[@ChretienGerada]

Lol it happens to the best of us. But if you do that it’ll rot your tools because the disinfectant is too concentrated and you waste a lot of money

[@KenYokkao]

Thank you very much for this very important tutorial.

[@ChretienGerada]

No problem! Feel free to message if any questions!

[@josephporter2769]

How often should you change the barbicide solution if you're cleaning your own personal Combs that only you are using? Could you leave the combs in the barbicide until you get ready to use them or should you take them out after a certain time? Is it safe to use a stronger concentration of barbicide to water ratio?

[@ChretienGerada]

I would still change it out daily. The power of the concentration only last so long.

[@honestreview169]

Once it gets cloudy or foamy then change it. I feel like changing it daily is a scheme of Barbacide company to have the buyer run out quicker so you can buy another one. And they make more money that way.

[@ChretienGerada]

I would always use the recommended ratio on the barbicide bottle which is 2 oz (1/4 cup) barbicide to 32 oz (4 cups) water

[@videogamesare1]

So helpful, loved your thorough process

Thank you!

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed! More to come!

[@chilledmechanic]

If your cutting your own hair and nobody else's should you use Barbicide? If not, will Andis cool care be enough?

[@ChretienGerada]

You can to have overall clean hygiene.

[@chilledmechanic]

@@ChretienGerada Would you also submerge foil assembly from shavers also?

[@ChretienGerada]

@@chilledmechanic no you would just brush it down gently to avoid breaking foil and spray with andis cool care.

Thank u for all the reminders. Great info. BUT OMG did the water running for no reason bother me!!! 4 minutes in and I’m furious with the running water. lol do I have issues???

It will ruin your tools

[@jmichael805]

[@djanglersdelijubang8247]

Do we need change the liquid in the jar after use it?or it can be use on the next day?

[@ChretienGerada]

Deli Jubang it needs to be changed daily

[@dzynguy]

its a shame barbicide isnt available as a mens fragrance, it is so clean and fresh smelling i absolutely love the scent.

[@gideonchristian1209]

do we need to use the disinfectant every time we finish with one client before going to next client ?

[@ChretienGerada]

Yes, you should. What I do though is have multiples of everything (guards, combs, brushes, etc.). After each client I put all my soiled tools in its own box and pull out new ones for each new client . Then, I clean and disinfect all my soiled tools at the end of the day. Hope that helps.

[@adge505]

That’s what I was wondering also. If you’re in a busy shop or something how are we gonna disinfect our stuff in between clients. There’s no possible way.

[@playboyjohnathan2978]

[@jmoniqueslife2047]

@@playboyjohnathan2978 I’m an esthetician and I give my self clean up time so I can disinfectant. I have never used a tool on one person and then another if I didn’t disinfectant properly. Disgusting.

[@twistedscissors2]

Can the concentration of barbacide be mixed to make it stronger so it doesn’t take 10 minutes to disinfect?

[@ChretienGerada]

Unfortunately no you can't. It takes time to clean. Thats the ratio to use. If you try and use more concentration it will just rot whatever tools are in there.

[@twistedscissors2]

Chretien Gerada thank you. Good to know.

[@shooz4unme]

Q: Can I just dip the clipper blades in this solution n get the same result?

[@ChretienGerada]

shooz4unme no you cannot dip the clipper blades in this. This is specifically for guards and combs. There is another product called blade wash that can be used to clean your clipper blades.

[@shooz4unme]

Chretien Gerada Thats what I thought.

[@jonathangodinez304]

Do we have to do this after every client? Or can I just spray with andis cool care after each client?

[@ChretienGerada]

Yes, you have to disinfect and sanitize your work tools after every haircut.

[@everrodriguez6551]

I don't see barbers doing this after every haircut and I've been to many barbershops. After a client, they use the same guards and combs/brushes, no cleaning. The most I've seen is a spray of the Cool Care, and that's only on the clippers. I've noticed the cleaning you described being accomplished either closed hours or before they open.

[@barberenforcement172]

Can you make a 32oz spray bottle and just spray barbacide as needed for the guards?

[@ChretienGerada]

No, guards have to be fully submerged.

[@FabiolaVettese]

Can you put scissors in the barbicide?

[@ChretienGerada]

No. It’ll rust. Wipe them down and spray with cool care.

[@hugocarrillo7179]

So you’re telling me if you have 8 clients back to back in a day you would have 8 pairs of the half and one guard? Usually barbers don’t have the time to disinfect between cuts and I’ve never heard of them having multiple guards usually they have about 2-3 of each and spray with cool care to disinfect in between haircuts and use barbicide at the end of the day to disinfect everything completely

[@ChretienGerada]

No I clean in between haircuts. I do hour long appointments. Service usually takes about 45 minutes then I spend 10-15 minutes cleaning & disinfecting.

[@hugocarrillo7179]

it isn't the same.

[@edwnpf]

I’m confused. Why can’t you just wash your guards and use them again? What more will this solution do after you have cleaned them.

[@ChretienGerada]

Because that is only cleaning your tools. They need to be disinfected after cleaning. Disinfecting is the killing of most microbial life that can lead to infection in humans-such as Influenza, Staphylococcus, HIV/AIDS, Herpes, Salmonella and Hepatitis. Cleaning your tools won’t disinfect them. Hope this helps

As long as you don’t leave it in past the recommended time it should be fine. Tools usually rust because people leave them in for hours or don’t use the proper ratios.

[@MegaDeadeye1]

There is no such thing as wasting water. When you run water in a sink or flush a toilet, it does not go to the moon or another planet. It goes into the ground and is filtered by the ground which is many layers of dirt, rock and sand; then back into the aquifer where you got from in the fist place.
