The answer to the question ‘why?’ is obvious: to prevent infection and to extend the life of the instruments. Even if you only use them for personal use, regular cleaning is still a must. It is optimal to disinfect after each use, but even minimal care at least once a week will keep your tools in perfect condition and ensure that they are safe to use.

These three points must necessarily be fulfilled:

1. Clean the instrument of dust and skin particles by washing it thoroughly in warm water and soap.
2. Place the instrument in a disinfectant solution and leave it for 15 minutes to remove bacteria.
3. Carry out sterilisation, e.g. by boiling the instrument for the required time.

Very important: This cleaning method is only suitable for instruments used in the home. In professional environments, such as beauty salons, the sterilisation process is much more complex and is carried out in strict compliance with established sanitary and hygienic regulations.


After sterilisation, instruments should be stored in a clean container or sealed in a fully sealed kraft bag. If the packaging is not airtight, dust and dirt can contaminate the tools, negating the whole sterilisation process.
Cleaning manicure tools at home is an affordable and convenient solution, providing an almost complete disinfection cycle without the need for specialised equipment and unnecessary costs. This method helps to create a safe and hygienic environment for manicures.
