Posted by Troy Barker on
Elleebana isn’t just about amazing lifting and tinting solutions—they also sell tools to help you work lash magic! From lash lift rods and brushes to precision lifter tools and trusty tree tools, they’ve got everything to help you lift, tint, and shape lashes like a pro.
Elleebana makes all their tools out of safe, medical grade materials like stainless steel and silicone, which means they're durable and easy to clean. But you still have to do the work of keeping your tools clean and in good condition. Here are a few best practices for sanitizing and storing your Elleebana tools.
Why Does Sanitization and Storage Matter?
Your promise to your clients is that you'll always use safe, high-quality products on their lashes. Just like you wouldn't want to use a contaminated lifting or tinting solution, you also don't want to use tools that are dirty or damaged. Proper sanitization and storage of your Elleebana tools keeps them in good condition and helps prevent the spread of bacteria and other pathogens between clients.
Sanitizing Your Elleebana Tools
Sanitizing is the practice of reducing the number of germs on an object to a safe level. It's different from disinfecting, which completely kills all germs. A small amount of germs can still remain after sanitizing, but they're at a safe level and won't cause harm. Sanitizing your Elleebana tools is an important step to prevent the spread of bacteria and germs, and also to maintain the quality and longevity of your tools. Tips for sanitizing your Elleebana tools include:
- Always start with clean hands and a clean workspace before handling your tools.
- Use an alcohol solution or disinfectant wipes to wipe down all surfaces of the tool. Use 70% isopropyl alcohol, as it's more effective in killing bacteria and viruses compared to higher concentrations.
- Pay extra attention to areas that come into direct contact with the client's skin or lashes. For example, the bristles of a brush or the tip of a precision lifter tool.
- After sanitizing, let your tools air dry or use a clean cloth to dry them off.
- Ideally, you should sanitize your tools before and after each use. This prevents the spread of bacteria and germs between clients.
Storing Your Elleebana Tools
If you leave your Elleebana tools out in the open, they're susceptible to dust, bacteria, and other contaminants. Storing them in a clean and organized manner protects them from these hazards and helps to maintain their quality. Here are some tips for storing your Elleebana tools:
- Use a clean and dry container or pouch to store your tools.
- If possible, keep each tool in its own compartment or individual wrapper to prevent them from touching each other.
- Keep them in a cool, dry spot, away from direct sunlight. Exposure to high temperatures can weaken the tool materials over time.
- Avoid storing your tools in areas with high humidity, as this can also cause damage.
- Regularly check your tools for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any, replace them.
- Clean and sanitize your storage container or pouch regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria and germs.
By following these instructions to keep your Elleebana tools sanitized and stored properly, you can extend their lifespan and provide your clients with safe, top-notch services they can trust!
