Are You Cleaning Your Nail Tools Properly?

Let’s be honest.

Most nail techs were taught to scrub tools under warm water and pop them into disinfectant. But when you’re using carbide and diamond e-file bits and detailed drill bits daily, that method isn’t always time efficient.

Here’s why.

Cleaning vs Disinfecting: Nail Tech Edition

Cleaning = removing visible debris

Disinfecting = killing bacteria

If debris remains inside your efile bit grooves, disinfectant can’t work properly.

That’s where ultrasonic cleaning becomes essential.

What Builds Up Inside E-File Bits?

• Acrylic dust
• Builder gel
• Cuticle debris
• Natural nail particles

Even premium bits clog without proper deep cleaning.

Blocked grooves = reduced cutting efficiency = more pressure = more heat.

Why Clients Notice

Clients see:

• Dusty tools
• Residue in grooves
• Poor performance
• Dragging bits

Professional hygiene builds trust. Poor cleaning damages it.

Upgrade Your Nail Tool Cleaning Routine

If you’re investing in professional e-file bits, you should be protecting them properly.

Ultrasonic cleaning helps you:

• Maintain sharpness
• Improve service quality
• Protect client safety
