cleaning and maintenance
We see and hear too often lately that hairdressing scissors no longer cut well after the scissors are placed in cleaning baths or immersed in acidic products.
To properly maintain the scissors and to avoid such problems with the scissors, you can take the following steps:
Only spray the cutting blades with an alcohol solution (disinfectant spray)
Only spray this agent over the cutting blades, never on or in the screw.
Rub the scissors dry with a clean, dry cloth (microfibre cloth). Dry both the inside and outside of the cutting blades.
Oil the scissors regularly (between the cutting blades, at the level of the screw).
Fully immersing the scissors has the following consequences:
All lubricating and protective agents are dissolved by this.
There is always moisture trapped between the cutting blades, including in the screw work.
The moisture and acids (or aggressive substances) trapped between the cutting blades and in the propeller cause a chemical reaction.
This chemical reaction "eats" into the metal and creates rust and / or staining (corrosion) + makes the scissors run stiff and feel blunt
Over a longer period of time, damage to the scissors will only increase.
The ball bearings and Teflon rings in the screw are also affected in this way.
Also not (timely) cleaning of the scissors can give the same reaction as with a cleaning bath. There is always residue of hair chemistry on the scissors during cutting. This attaches to the metal, also between the cutting blades. Over time this will give the same reaction as the cleaning baths. Put a drop of oil between the cutting blades regularly (at the level of the screw) and cleaning the cutting blades themselves with an alcohol spray can prevent these problems. If you accidentally put too much oil on the scissors, simply rub it off with a clean, dry cloth.
