A modern woman does not think her life without a manicure , without which you go out into the light like you have not cleaned your teeth. Most of the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity prefer to go through this procedure for nail care in the cabin. There are also those who personally take care of their hands. But in any case, any woman who is just starting to work as a master of manicure in the salon or at home, knows how important it is to keep all working tools safe for customers. After all, it is known that manicure instruments come into direct contact with the skin and nails, and therefore the transmission of fungus and various skin diseases from the client to the client can not be avoided. However, this problem is easily solved by the sterilizer for manicure instruments.
Types of sterilizers for manicure tools
The modern market offers several options for sterilizers - appliances that are used for:
- destruction on the surface and inside instruments of various microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi), which lead to the onset of diseases;
- cleaning tools from various substances that appear when working - fats, particles of skin and nails, etc.
In a specialized store you can buy various sterilizers: dry, ultrasonic, ball or ultraviolet. They differ in the principle of work, the speed of processing and, of course, the cost.
Dry or thermal sterilizers are most often found in beauty salons. In the device, metal instruments are processed at a high temperature (about 200-260 degrees). The duration of the procedure usually lasts from half an hour to two hours, depending on the temperature chosen. There is a variety of such a device - a steam sterilizer for manicure tools, in which products are exposed to a dry and hot steam jet.
In fact, ultrasonic sterilizers devices produce only a purifying function, not disinfecting instruments. Contamination even in hard-to-reach places is removed due to vibration in the liquid device. However, treatment in an ultrasonic sterilizer for manicure instruments should be carried out only after disinfection.
As for the glasperlene or ball sterilizer for manicure instruments, the principle of its operation is to heat the quartz balls to a high temperature (about 250 degrees) in the vessel. A tool is placed in the cavity with the balls, where it is completely disinfected and sterilized within 15-20 seconds. With the effectiveness of the device a minus is the need to change the filler every six months.
Ultraviolet or UV sterilizer for manicure instruments copes well with fungi and bacteria, but does not eliminate the causative agents of hepatitis and HIV infection. The device contains an ultraviolet lamp, the light of which produces the so-called "cold sterilization" of each side of the instrument for 15-20 minutes.
