Instrument sterilization

Imagine a situation where the same tool is used on several clients in a row. Even if it looks clean, microscopic particles and microorganisms remain on its surface, which can cause severe infections. That’s why sterilizing solutions must be used constantly — they are the key to ensuring the safety and health of clients.

How to properly prepare a sterilizing solution?

For a sterilizing solution to work as effectively as possible, it's important to prepare it correctly. Most modern sterilizing agents come in the form of concentrates that need to be diluted with water to a specific concentration.

How to do it properly? The first thing to remember is to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. This may seem obvious, but not all technicians pay enough attention to this, and an improperly prepared solution may either be ineffective or, on the contrary, damage the tools.

Use clean water, preferably boiled or distilled, and always ensure the concentration matches the instructions. The prepared solution should be used immediately after preparation and discarded after the recommended time.

Which sterilizing concentrates should a nail technician choose?

There are many different sterilizing products on the market, and choosing the right one can be a challenging task. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular and effective concentrates that have earned the trust of professionals.

• AHD 2000 Express. One of the most popular disinfectant solutions. It is perfect for treating hands, surfaces, and tools. This solution works very quickly and does not require rinsing, making it an excellent choice for those who value time.
• Blanidas Active Enzyme. An enzyme-based solution that effectively removes organic contaminants. It is often used for pre-cleaning tools before sterilization, especially those that have been in contact with biological fluids.
• Enzymesept Concentrate. A universal solution for disinfection and sterilization. It is effective against a wide range of microorganisms and is ideal for cleaning complex tools with hard-to-reach areas.
• DisAL PowerDis. A powerful disinfectant concentrate that kills not only bacteria but also fungi. This is especially important for nail technicians since fungal infections can easily be transmitted through tools.

• BioLong. A new-generation product that combines safety and effectiveness. It not only disinfects tools but also protects them from corrosion, which is especially important with regular sterilization.
