2. Place BARBICIDE® In A Spray Bottle

You don’t always have to immerse your tools in BARBICIDE® to sanitize them. Your state might allow you to use the product in a spray bottle instead! According to BARBICIDE® National Director of Industry Relations and Education Leslie Roste, BSN, RN, all you need is to dilute 2 ounces of BARBICIDE® in 32 ounces of water inside a spray bottle and seal. The solution becomes a closed system free of contamination, so you can use up the entire bottle until it’s gone.

3. Remove Product Residue From Floors With Ship-Shape

It’s wedding season and the brides are coming in hot for their updos, which unfortunately leads to sticky floors. BARBICIDE®’s Ship-Shape Comb & Brush Cleaner is your solution! Ship-Shape is designed to break down any resin and lacquer residue found in hairsprays. @deluxeondepot recommends placing Ship-Shape inside a mop with a liquid reservoir or bucket and cleaning between each client to avoid product buildup.

4. Clean Hair From Your Brushes After Every Client

Your clients do NOT want to see someone else’s hair in the brush you’re using. Mickey Colon (@mickeycolonjr) says you should be cleaning your brushes after every client. He uses The Brush Cleaner™ from Olivia Garden to keep his brushes hairball free.

5. Buy Brushes That Are Easy To Clean

Taylor Dellatorre (@taylordidmyhair) prefers to use Olivia Garden Brushes because they’re super easy to clean. Simply pinch the sides, pop out the cushion and sanitize the bristles and handle as needed. Once dry, put the brush back together and you’re good to go!
