I so appreciate your diligence and thorough efforts to do this step as prescribed by OSHA, it is important! Nice to see that you are leading by example. I'm sure that other nail techs are doing this probably off camera, but it's good to see someone give a KZbin demonstration of how to sterilize their implements before every use. I'm a fan! 😁, THANK YOU!!!

Good job! Old school manicurist here. I keep up with my license but don't work in the industry at the moment. I wish everyone who patronizes nail salons would watch this to know what to look for in a sanitary nail salon.

This is kind of an irrelevant question with respect to this video, but I have a question! I have an extra fine cuticle bit I use to clean & seal my cuticles, and it works really well but I feel like bc it’s extra fine it gets clogged really quickly and I end up having to clean it multiple times in between using it. Is there like a way I can avoid that so I only have to clean it once I’m done? Or maybe even a quicker way to do so besides soaking it for like 5-10 mins? I usually clean my other coarser drills by spinning it in acetone but that doesn’t work for the extra fine one and I end up having to soak it to really get it all the way clean. I really appreciate any/all help, thank you so much!! 😩🙏🏽🫶🏽🥰🫡

Perfect video! to be clear so the only way to steriloize is using autoclave; otherwise it is anitizing and desinfecting which is much better then nothing.

Exactly! I talked about that at the end. You need to sterilize 🩷

Hi❣️ Hmm I’ll have to try! Thank you for asking ❤️

[@Inamin81]

Thank you for this very useful video Jammy. Disinfection and Sanitation is extremely important even if you are just using them on yourself. Quick Question! Do you recommend a nail tech having their own personal set for implement use?

[@Jammylita]

Hi Amina ❤️ Thank you. I definitely do. Any extra steps we can take to avoid cross contamination is good. That’s a good point. I’m glad you brought that up. Thank you. It helps me❣️

[@donnaw246]

You can if you want, but if you are cleaning and disinfecting your implements diligently you shouldn't need a personal set. That's why we disinfect so well between clients because if we didn't, every client would need their own set of implements and even then you would still risk spreading bacteria or infections.

[@tenisyas7903]

I have a question i clean my tools before the barbicide in the same container then get all of the water out and sometimes there’s bubbles when I put the barbicide inside… do you think it’s because of the soap? And do you think it would affect the barbicide?

[@Jammylita]

Yes! Make sure you scrub, rinse and dry before submerging in the barbicide mixture 🩷

[@miawells4424]

hi do u know the measurements for the Lucas cide for the sterilizing tray?

[@Jammylita]

Hey, it’s 1 ounce to 16 ounces of water for barbicide 💕

[@floritoons4714]

I have a question after i do this and put the tools in sanitization bags do i have is there another step to do for the cleaning of the tools?

[@iscelap9087]

After having them immersed in 10 min with the barbicide you wash the tools with soap and water again. Dry them. Put them in the pouches. Put them in a uv sterilizer for 10 min with the tools inside the pouch and then take them out and nope that’s it’s. You’re fine. Keep them in the pouches until you have to use it. But also the pouches write down the date you sterilized them.

[@Salma-df9rq]

you have very relaxing voice

[@Jammylita]

Thank you 🤗❤️

[@sheylasanchez1116]

Why do you dry the tools prior to adding them to the barbacide ? Is it to avoid rust ?

[@Jammylita]

It can affect the barbicide’s effectiveness. Scrub, rinse and dry before submerging in the mixture 🩷

[@livlyfe4022]

How do we do it quicker between clients can we just do the barbacide and dry

[@soosoolar]

it's a cycle so basically have multiple of the same tools as kits for each client

[@louudasslynaaa]

Do you re use the same mixture or do you have to make a new one each time?

[@Jammylita]

You can use it more than once. Change it out daily for a day of doing nails. I’d change it out if you see any particles in it as well. 💕

[@KM-ln4vq]

How often do you change the barbicide solution? Like how long does it last on a daily use?

[@melissabellano1509]

Hello Same here i change 1 time in week but i work alone so i have use maximum 8 or 10 time the solution in week

[@Jammylita]

Hello, change daily or when it becomes contaminated and Cloudy/debris

[@yanareyner]

If I use my instruments only on myself at home is it alright to just give them a thorough wash with soap or do I still better disinfect them as well?

To be safe I’d disinfect them too 💕

Oh golly, I'm not a nail professional but have for almost a yr been fighting a toenail fungus. I have a drs prescription for the toenails but even my dr doesn't know what im supposed to clean my clippers, snippers & picker things with. I read online to soak them (& the brush) in rubbing alcohol for 30 min and let dry. It never mentioned rinsing them and i never thought to scrub them. I have 3 infected toenails and so far the same ones i use for those, i use on my fingernails. My fingernails are doing alright but i just cant get rid of the toenail ones. Is the 30 min in rubbing alcohol not enough? Im the only person using them. I dont share them with anyone. I hope you still respond to people.

[@Jammylita]

Hey! Rubbing alcohol won’t get rid of toe nail fungus. You have to use a hospital grade disinfectant on your implements. I definitely don’t recommend using the same implements on your fingernails. You should definitely ask your doctor 🩷

how do you properly dispose of baarbicide

Diluted barbicide that’s less than a gallon at a time can be disposed down a drain with water or a sanitary sewer system

1 oz of barbicide to 16 ounces of water. Should say on the bottle too ❤️

[@sandrastreifel6452]

Just a point: abrasive bands to use on mandrel bits are single-use, they can’t be cleaned or disinfected for reuse, they should be removed before cleaning the mandrel.

[@Jammylita]

That is correct, I did say that I accidentally missed it in the video and removed it.

[@xxMiess1]

Very helpfull video, so first of all thank you for makeing this video :) but I have a question: What do you do with the used disinfectant solution? Do you just flush it through the sink or do you need to take it somewhere to dispose it?

[@Jammylita]

Great question! In a salon or a nail studio it’s usually just drained in a designated sink. It doesn’t cause corrosion it just disinfects so you can drain down the sink 💕

1. Cleaning we are removing germs. 2. Disinfecting we are killing the harmful microbes. 3. Sterilization is we are actually killing all living microorganisms 🦠 you did the first 2 steps very well, but you didn't do the 3rd step. Which means that the tools are not ready for use. Stage 3 is very important too.
