Collection: Tool Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilisation

Quick choice: this collection brings together products and accessories for organising the different hygiene stages for professional manicure and pedicure tools: preliminary cleaning, disinfection, preparation and packaging before any sterilisation required by the salon protocol.

Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation are not the same

Cleaning removes visible dirt and residue from tools. Disinfection reduces the presence of microorganisms through products and procedures compatible with the material being treated. Sterilisation is a separate stage that requires specific procedures and devices. An ultrasonic cleaner on its own performs a cleaning function and does not automatically replace sterilisation.

Available products

• Ultrasonic cleaners: useful for thorough cleaning of compatible tools and accessories, including areas that are difficult to reach manually.
• Disinfection tanks and trays: help organise the treatment stage for tools using the appropriate product.
• Self-sealing sterilisation pouches: used to package tools when required by the protocol and by the sterilisation device being used.

How to choose the right solution

• Type of tool: always check the material, shape and manufacturer's instructions before choosing a cleaning or treatment method.
• Work volume: for a larger number of tools, an ultrasonic cleaner with greater capacity may be useful.
• Salon protocol: each stage should be included in the correct hygiene process, following the instructions applicable to the tools and devices being used.

How to organise the workflow

1. Residue removal: remove visible material from the tools according to the relevant instructions.
2. Cleaning: use a method compatible with the tool, optionally including an ultrasonic cleaner.
3. Disinfection: carry out the required treatment using suitable products and following the stated contact times and instructions.
4. Drying and inspection: check that the tools are clean, dry and intact.
5. Packaging and sterilisation: when required by the protocol, use appropriate pouches and sterilisation devices.

FAQ

Does an ultrasonic cleaner sterilise tools?

No. An ultrasonic cleaner is a cleaning device. It should not be considered an automatic substitute for disinfection or sterilisation.

Do self-sealing pouches sterilise tools?

No. Pouches are used to package tools and must be used as part of the process specified for the chosen sterilisation device and protocol.

Which ultrasonic cleaner capacity should I choose?

It depends on the number and size of the tools being processed: a compact format is suitable for smaller volumes, while a larger capacity provides more space for everyday salon work.
