In this 8:47 video I show you how to properly disinfect your brushes at home, so you are free from germs, and your tools will look just like new !! These are the same steps I follow at the salon to keep my clients safe from germs & illness. I recommend cleaning your tools, at least once a month.


 Supplies:
•Brushes & combs that need to be cleaned
•Scissors
•Pedicure brush (buy at beauty supply store)
•Dish soap
•2 clean towels (for final dry: step 4)
•Timer for 10:00 minutes
•Brush cleaner or another comb to remove shed hair
•2 3 buckets with lids
one for Prewash, one for Quats & one for clean combs & brushes
•Gloves
•Quats
•1/2 Cup measure

Steps:
1/ Remove all shed hair from brushes
2/ Prewash 10:00 minutes
3/ *Quats (Quaternary Ammonium Compounds) 10:00 minutes
4/ Final Dry
5/ Clean brushes in clean container are READY for use!


Time Code:

03:00 The chemical used in this video kills blood borne pathogens, when you clean your brushes with this product using the steps I suggest, your brushes are considered: 'properly disinfected'. At no time in this video am I saying you can catch HIV/Aids from using a hair brush. I am merely stating that Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, can kill blood borne pathogens in any setting.



At 00:57 I clap really loud. I used to be a personal trainer, so acting like a coach comes naturally to me.

03:14 "Clean your brushes and combs at least once a week." This statement is intended for my followers using this video for home use. At my salon, I disinfect & sanitize all implements at the end of my work day using the steps & products in this video. As stated in my Cosmetology training, I NEVER use the same comb on a different client. Each client gets a clean sanitized set of clips, combs & brushes when I am working on their hair. I love working clean!


At 5:28 I whisper to the camera this was an out take but it's a super important detail: all combs & brushes should be fully submerged in the prewash & quats.

I like to use the 'Olivia Garden' Brush Cleaner. It has tons of metal teeth & removes hair easily.

Quats (Quaternary Ammonium Compounds) is the hospital grade cleaning solution I use in this video to properly disinfect my brushes & combs.

To purchase: Some liquids cannot be shipped. Go to your nearest beauty supply store and ask for Quats. A small container will suffice. This is a poison. Keep it and all poisons out of reach of children.
