Learn the Cleaning & Disinfecting Process

BARBICIDE® Director of Education Leslie Roste, BSN, RN and Paul Mitchell students Alex and Jillian demonstrate the cleaning and disinfecting process of non-electric, multi-use implements such as:
Round brushes
Flat brushes
Combs
Shears
Disinfection Reminders:
Disinfectants must be EPA-registered and labeled as bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal. BARBICIDE® Concentrate is a registered product on the EPA’s N List and all products on this list meet EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).
Disinfection only works on a clean item, so cleaning before disinfecting is always the first step. Methods to clean include soap/water, chemical cleaners (Ship-Shape®), wipes.
Contact time listed on the label must be observed for disinfectants to work. The contact time refers to how long the surface must stay visibly wet with the disinfectant to inactivate or destroy all of the pathogens on the label. Typical contact time for immersion/sprays is 10 minutes, for wipes is 2-4 minutes.
Disinfectant for immersion must be made fresh daily and replaced if it becomes contaminated sooner. For example, hair/debris floating in solution or a cloudy solution.
Disinfection is for hard, non-porous surfaces, typically things made of glass, metal and plastic or referred to as synthetic materials.
Porous/soft surfaces cannot be disinfected, but can be cleaned. This would include but is not limited to items such as towels, chairs covered in a porous material and your hands/body.

So it’s not necessary to rinse with water after using Barbicide wipes?
