How To Use
- The proper mixing ratio of Barbicide is one of the most vital things you can do.
- The proper ratio is 2 oz. (or ¼ cup) of Barbicide Concentrate mixed into 32 oz. of water (4 cups). This is the proper dilution, so you can kill all the pathogens listed on the EPA registered label (For a full list see the product label).
- This should be used in states that do not require a Tuberculocidal.
- All non-porous surfaces in your salon should be disinfected.
- Single use items (like nail files or neck strips) should be thrown away after each use.
- Once you have mixed your solution there are several ways you can disinfect. BlueCo Brands has a handy saying for using Barbicide: “If you can, immerse it. If you can’t, spray it.
- ”For items like combs, shears, brushes and nail clippers immerse them in Barbicide for ten minutes. Those ten minutes (contact time) will ensure all the pathogens on the label are eradicated.
- Once the contact time is complete, remove the implements and rinse them with water. Store the tools in an air-tight container until you are ready to use them again.
- Once the solution comes in contact with implements you need to change it 24 hours later, or sooner if contaminated.
