Your tools won’t warn you — but we will!
Your tools are your partners in every set. But even the best ones won’t survive these common mistakes:
1. Using the wrong sterilization pouches
Autoclave bags = BIG NO-no for dry heat.
They melt, leave brown gunk, and cause metal to rust. Always use paper craft bags made for high dry heat.
For complete sterilization, consider using a professional dry heat sterilizer — it’s an effective, chemical-free method approved for salon use.
2. Skipping pre-cleaning
Throwing tools straight into the sterilizer without cleaning off dust, gel, or blood? Not only does it lower sterilization quality, it also bakes residue onto the metal. Gross.
3. Leaving tools too long in disinfectant
If you're disinfecting tools in an ultrasonic cleaner, only leave them in the solution for the time specified by your disinfectant’s instructions.
Soaking them too long can damage the metal.
Protect your tools. Avoid these mistakes, and your tools will stay sharp, safe, and salon-ready for years.
After cleaning, always store tools in sealed sterilization pouches to keep them safe from contamination until the next service.
Investing in high-quality professional Staleks manicure tools ensures better results, longer tool life, and easier maintenance.
