Why do you need a sterilizer for manicure instruments?

Equipment for disinfecting manicure instruments is an important element of the furnishings of any salon, as well as a home studio. No master can do without a device that ensures the sterile cleanliness of objects used when working with a client. We are not talking about the processing of disposable materials - only metal or plastic instruments such as tweezers, scissors, cuticle trimming tools, and so on are subject to sterilization. A clean instrument is the guarantee that no diseases will be transmitted from one client to another, and that no foreign infection will be introduced from the outside.

Manicure instruments must be sterilized

Attention! Having a sterilizer is not only about taking care of the client, first and foremost. This is also an additional plus to the reputation of the master, which allows him to gain the trust of potential visitors.

The task of any sterilizer is to clean and disinfect instruments used when working with clients. The equipment allows you to get rid of bacteria and viruses that accidentally fall on metal surfaces.

Sterilization takes place in several stages.

1. Removal of surface base dirt, epithelium, blood or grease particles by cleaning instruments with wipes.
2. Treating instruments with liquid antiseptics and alcohol-based compounds.
3. Treatment in a sterilizer under high temperatures or various rays and waves.

On a note! The first two stages can be combined and performed simultaneously. This depends on the type of solution used.

By the way, sterilization can be electrical or chemical. Accordingly, sterilizers can also be electrical or chemical based on their operating principle.

Table. Types of sterilizers.

In order to clean the instrument as much as possible and make it safe for other clients, it is recommended to use several processing options at once. Only in this case can we talk about absolute sterilization and cleanliness of objects used in work.

How does a manicure sterilizer work: types of tools

Sterilizers, in addition to the options mentioned above, can be different. Moreover, how the instrument is cleaned depends on what type of device it is and how it works. In any case, the entire surface of any object placed in the device is processed. It is worth getting acquainted with all the options for sterilizers that are now sold in stores.

Ultrasonic bath-sterilizer for manicure instruments VGT-2000

Ultraviolet sterilizer

An ultraviolet sterilizer, as the name implies, affects objects placed in it with UV rays. Everyone knows about their antiseptic properties. UV rays can quickly and effectively kill most pathogenic microorganisms. But they must reach the entire surface of the instruments for the treatment to be as effective as possible. And it is recommended to turn them over during the procedure using sterile tweezers, which causes some inconvenience.

Germix SD-9001 A - ultraviolet sterilizer

The main disadvantage of a UV device is the processing time. To achieve the proper level of disinfection, it will take at least 20 minutes to keep objects inside it. Moreover, in most cases, ultraviolet sterilizers are used precisely as devices for storing instruments, and not so much for processing them. As a rule, after chemical cleaning, items are placed for additional processing and storage in a UV sterilizer.

Important! UV rays cannot destroy AIDS and hepatitis viruses. So you still need additional processing of the instrument when using such a sterilizer.

Dry ovens and autoclaves

Dry heat is perhaps the most effective sterilizer option that can be used to process manicure tools. In this case, the objects placed in the device are exposed to high temperature, that is, a thermal effect occurs. The maximum temperature inside the tendon varies from 200 to 250 degrees. This level is enough to destroy all parasites and viruses.

But not every tool can withstand such high-temperature treatment. Only all-metal objects will not deteriorate during such sterilization.

Dry-heat cabinet for sterilization of manicure instruments (Sukhozhar) CH 360 T

During processing, all tools should be placed on special grids or in special so-called craft bags. The latter have protection from heat, but can still burn at very high temperatures. Processing inside the tendon lasts about half an hour, but in some cases the tool will have to be kept inside longer.

On a note! Some dry heaters have a cooling function. Instruments from such devices can be removed immediately after the sterilization cycle and used immediately without waiting for them to cool.

An autoclave is a device similar to a dry heater, but has large dimensions and exposes the instrument to hot steam. So only metal variants can be processed in it, as in dry heat. At home, an autoclave is rarely used due to its large size.

Quartz and glasperlene sterilizers

A ball or glasperlene sterilizer is a device filled with balls made of quartz. It may also be called quartz, but other types of devices can also be quartz.

This is a convenient device in the shape of a flask, which makes it possible to thoroughly warm up the tool being processed. The balls inside the sterilizer can heat up to a temperature of about 250 degrees without harm to themselves. The outside of the case is plastic, and inside, as a rule, there is a metal flask that can withstand high temperatures. This option does not take up much space and is quite economical, since it does not consume a lot of energy. It is convenient to use at home, but such sterilizers are also sometimes used in salons - albeit in small ones.

Glasperlene sterilizer for manicure instruments

This sterilizer cleans the surface of instruments quite well. And very quickly. It’s enough to just lower the devices inside the device for half a minute, and you’re done. Also, this version of the sterilizer is relatively inexpensive and is accessible to a novice master.

The downside is that only the working part of the tool is processed. That is, the handles and the top of any device still remain untreated. Another disadvantage is the dulling of the sharp parts of the instruments. The balls inside the sterilizer need to be replaced with new ones approximately once a year, as they lose their antiseptic abilities. Also, before using this sterilizer, you need to warm it up, which takes about 30 minutes on average, but depends on the chosen model.

On a note! The SES recognized glasperlene sterilizers as capable of effectively and quickly eliminating all microorganisms from the surface of instruments.

Ultrasonic models

Such sterilizers, as the name implies, operate on the basis of ultrasonic waves. They are also called sinks, because special liquid compounds are used as filler in the sterilizer chamber to help fight germs and viruses. During operation, microbubbles are formed inside such a device, which, when bursting, remove parasites and contaminants from the surface of the objects being cleaned.

Ultrasonic washer SD-200

Small, compact and efficient, these sterilizers are in great demand. They are ideal for cleaning manicure tools both at home and in the salon. Moreover, they are suitable for disinfecting plastic products, since they do not use high-temperature technologies. The main disadvantage of such a device is the significantly high cost compared to some other options, as well as the need to purchase disinfectant compounds.

Important! Liquid solutions in such devices are powerless against a number of viruses, and this also needs to be taken into account.

Types of sterilizers

In the salon, the treatment of manicure tools consists of several stages: simply using a disinfectant, then eliminating fat and protein deposits. Only after this is sterilization carried out. The first two stages are often combined - the disinfectant solution where the instruments are placed copes with both tasks. Afterwards, everything that was used for manicure is rinsed in the sink, dried, and transferred to a sterilizer. This can be either a special dry-heat cabinet or a machine similar to a wax melter. Understand their differences.

Ball sterilizer

A compact device with a bowl inside into which sand is poured: because of this, it was given an alternative name - “quartz”. Peculiarities:

1. Tools are processed at high temperature (250 degrees).
2. During processing, heated quartz balls affect only the working parts: manicure devices are not completely immersed.
3. Due to its low cost and dimensions, the device is convenient for use in any conditions.
4. A significant disadvantage of a quartz sterilizer is the abrasiveness of sand, which dulls cutting surfaces. After several procedures, the instrument requires sharpening.

Glasperlen

Belongs to the group of ball sterilizers for manicure instruments. It differs from quartz instruments in the use of glass balls, the diameter of which is selected according to the size of the instrument being processed. According to the SES, glasperlene sterilizers, unlike others, ideally meet all requirements and standards. Masters also make a choice in their favor. pros:

• quick disinfection (20 seconds) regardless of volume;
• complete destruction of all bacteria due to high temperature;
• the ability to use the device by several masters.

UV sterilizer for manicure instruments

The effectiveness of the device is actively disputed: some experts argue that this cleaning method does not kill all microorganisms, so one cannot vouch for the safety of working with tools after it. It has been precisely determined that hepatitis and HIV viruses are resistant to ultraviolet radiation. This cabinet is recommended to be used for storing already sterilized and dried instruments.

Ultrasonic

It is universal, safe, and requires the use of a special solution, which, when vibrated, flows around the instrument, filling every cavity. Microbubbles gather together and burst, due to which they “remove” pathogenic microorganisms and rust from the surface. An ultrasonic sterilizer for manicure instruments can be used for both small parts (cutters) and larger ones (tweezers). The disadvantage is the high price of the device.

Other types

The simplest and most reliable is a dry-heat cabinet for manicure instruments, which operates at a high temperature ranging from 200-260 degrees. A significant drawback is the long processing time - 1-2 hours, and the high cost: the price of even basic models of dry heat starts from 11,000 rubles. This may pay off in a salon, but it's not always worth it for home use.

An alternative to a dry-heat oven is an autoclave for manicure tools. The device is a chamber, inside of which high pressure is created with a temperature of up to 134 degrees. Such installations are used not only for cosmetic purposes; they have long earned trust in medicine. The autoclave sterilizes instruments in 15-20 minutes, but they can only be placed inside in a thin layer, in a limited portion. The cost of the device also does not add to its attractiveness - budget models are cheaper than 9,000 rubles. can not found.

How to choose a sterilizer for manicure instruments

We have reviewed and studied basic information about all sterilizer options. But which one should you buy for a home or salon device?

The most popular are ultrasonic and UV devices, as they allow you to process absolutely any instruments, are compact and easy to use. But in terms of efficiency, dry heat and glasperlene options are recognized as the best. They treat instruments with high temperatures and destroy not only bacteria, but also viruses.

If the flow of clients is large, then the master uses a lot of tools. This means that the volume and size of the sterilizer are also important to consider when choosing a suitable model. There are those that can only hold one set, and there are those that can accommodate several at once. Moreover, it is important to take into account that the instruments to be cleaned cannot be placed on top of each other inside the sterilizer - they must be cleaned over the entire surface, without overlapping each other, otherwise there will be no proper result.

During sterilization, instruments must be neatly laid out inside the device.

The speed of disinfection usually depends on the power of the devices. The more powerful the device, the faster it cleans the surface being treated.

In short, when choosing a sterilizer, you need to consider the following parameters:

• desired level of cleaning of devices;
• cleaning speed;
• difficulty of use;
• power;
• duration of cleaning;
• dimensions;
• the material from which the tools used are made;
• budget;
• workmanship;
• manufacturer;
• customer flow.

These are the main parameters that are worth paying attention to. But design is a secondary point.

Another important parameter is the conditions in which the equipment will be used. So, for example, for a home studio you can take a modest sterilizer. And if we talk about a studio or beauty salon, then it is better to take several options of sterilizers at once and carry out the highest quality processing of instruments using several equipment options at once. In this case, it will be possible to achieve maximum sterility.

Which sterilizer is best for manicure instruments?

Equipment for disinfection is selected according to the following criteria: where it will be used, what material the instruments loaded into it are made of. The effectiveness of beauty and health products existing on the market, their advantages and disadvantages, are described above. The devices have different purposes, so they cannot be compared with each other. When purchasing, pay attention to the following nuances:

• A ball sterilizer is suitable for processing a large number of instruments, but they must be made of medical steel, otherwise they will corrode.
• A dry heater and an autoclave are the best choice for a beauty salon, and the UV cabinet does not sterilize, but keeps the devices clean.
• If you have a large flow of clients, pay attention to glasperlene devices or an autoclave - they will allow you to work continuously.
• Wooden and glass instruments (orange sticks, files, etc.) can be sterilized in a UV chamber, but iron ones must be treated with a more “harsh” environment.
• Sterilizer balls vary in diameter and are selected depending on the size of the instrument being processed. They require replacement once a quarter.
• To ensure that even the most budget model works correctly, carefully read the instructions. Most sterilizers have a simple operating principle and are effective regardless of price.

Manufacturers

And finally, we’ll tell you about several popular manufacturers, sterilizers from which are often used by craftsmen. You can confidently trust the products of these companies and not worry about your health and the health of your customers.

• DonFeel produces practical, convenient, functional devices aimed at use in salons, not home studios. This means that we can talk about the professional purpose of sterilizers and their high capacities. The sizes of the models are also quite large, and almost each of them can accommodate a large number of tools at once. As for the price, the devices of this company are at an average level. High quality materials are used in production.
• TNL Professional is a company from Korea that produces a lot of everything for nail technicians, including sterilizers. They are suitable for home and salon use, effective and reliable. Moreover, the price of the equipment is more than affordable - the company is suitable for a novice master with a limited budget. The company strictly monitors product quality and produces reliable and unpretentious models.
• ruNail is one of the most famous manufacturers of equipment for manicurists. This is a Russian company that mainly produces ultrasonic sterilizers with simple and convenient controls.
• Jessnail is a company that has been on the market for 15 years. She focuses on beauty salons, but home craftsmen also use her products. The company produces some of the most reliable options for disinfection equipment.

Kinds

A ball sterilizer is a compact device with a bowl installed inside. It contains balls: in the case of a quartz device, they are made of quartz, in the case of a glasperlene device, they are made of glass. Only working parts, which are heated to temperatures above 200 degrees, are immersed in them. Low price, low power consumption and small dimensions make the device ideal for use at home and in the salon, but after several sterilizations it is necessary to sharpen the instrument. High-speed disinfection and complete destruction of bacteria speak in favor of this type of equipment.

The UV device is more suitable for storing sterilized and dried attachments and cutters or as an addition to another device. When processed, it is not able to kill all harmful microorganisms. Thus, hepatitis and HIV viruses are not destroyed when exposed to ultraviolet light. In addition, when processing parts, you need to turn them over with tongs so that light hits them.

An ultrasonic device involves the use of a solution, which, when the device is turned on, flows around the working surface and fills every recess of small and large parts. Bursting microbubbles remove pathogenic microflora and rust. Unlike equipment that uses high temperatures for processing, this type is suitable for processing not only metal, but also plastic elements.

The dry-heat oven is easy to use and reliable. Temperature range - 180-260 degrees. Due to its high cost, the dry heater is more suitable for use in the salon.

Steam apparatus , or autoclave, allows you to process metal parts with hot steam (137 ° C) under pressure. Such sterilization helps to preserve their cutting properties as much as possible if they were made of stainless steel. For soft metal or plastic, it is better to choose another option.
