How to Properly Disinfect Tools with CaviCide
To get the most out of CaviCide (or any high-level disinfectant), it’s important to follow the proper process to ensure your tools are safe and fully sanitized:
Wash Tools First Start by washing your tools with soap and water to remove any visible residue or debris. This ensures that the disinfectant can work effectively on clean surfaces.
Fully Submerge Tools in Disinfectant Place your clean tools, like tweezers and scissors, in the disinfectant and ensure they are fully submerged. Let them soak for the recommended amount of time as indicated by the product’s manufacturer.
Rinse and Dry After the soak, rinse your tools thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining disinfectant. Pat them dry with a clean, lint-free towel, and store them in a sanitized, closed container until they’re ready to be used.
By following these steps, you’ll guarantee that your tools are not only clean but also safe for use on your next client. Combining this process with CaviCide’s superior performance makes sanitation efficient, reliable, and hassle-free.
CaviCide truly stands out as an all-in-one disinfectant solution for lash artists, ensuring my tools and workstation are sanitized without compromising quality or aesthetics.
Tips for the Girly who takes Sanitation Seriously:
I prefer to pre-measure the proper mix in a shot glass, and put a line where to fill my CaviCide upto. This way I'm not always needing a measuring cup.
My shot glass even has liquid measurements on it.
Always remember to pour water first and you disinfectant solution second.
You need to have new disinfectant solution every single day.
Don't share your daily disinfectant solution with other service providers, such as disinfecting lash tweezers with someone's pedicure nippers. That's a no-no!
I have a mini white board next to the salon disinfectant, showcasing when and who last changed it. That way if another lash artist chooses to put her tweezers in, she knows how fresh the disinfectant solution is.
After disinfecting your tweezers, dry your tweezers and store them in a clean, disinfected, dry, airtight container or drawer when not in use.
Do not put them in a wet paper towel and throw them in a drawer or cabinet. They should be stored dry, otherwise you're creating the perfect atmosphere for microbes to thrive.
Keep track of how much disinfectant you have left so you don't run out unexpectedly.
I like to wipe down my instruments right before the services, as an extra step and precaution!
Always wipe down the surface area of lash cart, rolling tray, recliner or massage table, stool, lash light, and product bottles and lash trays that you be touching during the service. This is important, because anything you touch during the service has been contaminated from the outside, so you should always disinfect them before moving onto the next client.
Use a new lash tile for every client, and disinfect the lash tile before using it on a client.
Do not use left over lash strips, on another client. Learn to ration your product, and cut your lash strips before your service so you're not throwing away unused material, instead you use it up and go back to grab more. Read more here: Instagram Reel
Pre-cutting your lash strips insures you're not cross contaminating.
