Features and instructions for the use of ultrasonic washers for manicure tools

The times when in order to disinfect manicure tools had to resort to boiling and processing with antiseptics, are a thing of the past. Increasingly, among the tools of salon masters there are ultrasonic washers for sterilizing manicure tools that are used when performing manicure. This equipment greatly facilitates the work of the master and has a number of its features. Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of ultrasonic baths and find out how to use them correctly.

The ultrasonic sink for cleaning manicure tools is a high-tech container in which the tools are placed after each client. Processing is carried out by means of ultrasound with an average frequency of 40 kHz, which allows for the disposal of tools from contamination even in the most inaccessible places. It is worth noting that after ultrasonic washing, the master necessarily disinfects the instruments with a special solution.

The principle of operation of the device is simple: An ultrasonic wave is generated through a solution poured into a reservoir. During this, dielectric pressure builds up and tiny vacuum bubbles appear, forming a cavitation effect. It is from the explosion of these bubbles that the dirt is eliminated, bacteria and fungus are destroyed. At the same time, the ultrasonic cleaning is harmless to the processed equipment.

For ultrasonic cleaning use ordinary water or a disinfectant solution. For each cleansing time, the fluid is changed. The processing time of tools on average does not exceed three minutes, with repeated cleaning, the total duration increases. This is very convenient because it allows you to unload the wizard in front of the next client.

Ultrasonic sterilizers are considered universal equipment. They can clean not only manicure tools: such devices do an excellent job of washing jewelry and hairdressing equipment. Therefore, in everyday life they will be indispensable. In addition, such products are characterized by high quality cleaning of the processed tools. Compared with other analogues, they are 8 times more effective, they destroy bacteria, pathogenic microorganisms, as well as dirt and rust.

During processing, the tools are not damaged: there is a restoration of their original appearance and purity. At the same time, tools from different materials (ceramic, metal, plastic, glass) can be cleaned inside the tank.

The master does not need to deal with the control of the cleaning process, the device is simple to operate and maintain. If necessary, the detachable stand of the sterilizer can be easily removed and washed separately from the device itself. In addition, the sterilizer is safe to operate. Compared to heat treatment devices, an ultrasonic sink for manicure tools eliminates the possibility of burns. Another advantage of the device is the ability to store tools until use.

As for the shortcomings, according to the masters, it refers to them the need for additional processing of each tool with a special solution. Experts are categorically tuned: they call ultrasonic cleaning as a means of pre-sterilization cleaning and disinfection. It is impossible to assign to them the full mission of purification: they are only its first stage. Also a negative nuance is the overload of the device with an insufficient approach to the choice of its size, taking into account the cleaned tools.

The principle of operation of ultrasonic washing is quite simple. The instruction will consist of several consecutive steps:

• tools must be placed on the bottom of the sterilization tank;
• liquid should be poured into the container, filling it with about 2/3 of the tank itself;
• the device is connected to the network;
• based on the degree of contamination, select the desired cleansing mode;
• press the sterilization start button;
• after the required time, the device will automatically turn off;
• it is necessary to disconnect the device from the electrical network;
• after that you need to open the lid, remove the tools and pour out the liquid.

If the master is not enough to clean once, you can repeat the processing of tools.

When buying a sink for manicure tools, it is worth paying attention to several nuances. For example, power is an important factor, since it is the equipment efficiency and processing speed that depends on it. The best indicators are options up to 70 watts. The minimum considered for purchase is 30 watts.

As for the capacity of the inner bath, then everything will depend on the preferences of the master. Some people like 1.2-liter cameras, others only need half-liter tanks. When buying, you need to estimate the volume of the processed tool so as not to overload the device and thereby not reduce its effectiveness.

Looking closely at a specific product, you need to pay attention to the build quality and body material. As a rule, low quality options are easy to identify externally. Any visual defects, scratches, abrasions are excluded. To verify the quality of the model, you can ask for a certificate of quality and compliance with established standards.
