Every girl follows the beauty of nails. The very process of performing a manicure, for all its simplicity, is quite serious, since the procedure must be performed carefully and as safely as possible. The equipment used also plays an important role. Every experienced master knows that in the process of caring for nails, a sterilizer for manicure tools is required. Which one to choose and what to consider when choosing? Let's try to figure it out.
The essence of tool processing
Sterilization of working tools for a nail service master is a paramount task, as this serves as a guarantee of the safety of their further operation. The whole care process conditionally consists of several stages:
- During the disinfection of instruments, pathogens of infectious diseases that can accumulate on the surface of products are destroyed.
- Pre-sterilization cleaning involves the removal of various deposits from the surface - fat, protein, drug residues.
- During sterilization, microorganisms are destroyed from the surface of instruments. It is at this stagesterilizers for manicure instruments are used. They are different, and the main thing is that the tools are used clearly in accordance with the instructions.
Ball-on: simple and convenient
Such a sterilizer allows you to process and disinfect instruments, destroy bacteria. Quartz balls in the composition of the device are heated, as a result of which deep sterilization is ensured. The positive features of such models include the speed of tool processing, which takes a maximum of 20 seconds. The sterilizer for manicure tools is capable of heating objects to a temperature of 250 degrees, and it is important that only the working surface of the tools is under high temperature. The advantages of these devices of the nail service master include:
- affordable price compared to other models;
- compact size;
- ease of use.
Ball sterilizers also have disadvantages, which are expressed in the inevitable and gradual blunting of the instrument, which is made of a medical alloy of high heat resistance. The blunting of the working surface is also due to the quartz in the ball apparatus, which is an abrasive.
Macrostop: the best among ballpoints
If you are looking for compact sterilizers for manicure instruments, especially for home use, take a look at the Macrostop model. She is small in sizeIt is characterized by simple operation, sterilization itself is carried out in 10-20 seconds, the heating temperature reaches 250 degrees. Thanks to this tool, you can quickly disinfect metal instruments that do not have channels or locking parts. The thermal sterilizer is filled with glass beads, which are heated to the desired temperature, under which bacteria die. Such processing does not lead to deformation of tools, protects them from corrosion and premature blunting.
Dry oven
Such manicure instrument sterilizers are one of the most popular. The operation of the device is based on heat treatment, which takes an average of 30-40 minutes. It is carried out at a temperature of 200-260 degrees. In user reviews, it is noted that, with the simplicity and effectiveness of sterilization, such devices take too long to process. Model chambers are constructed from materials that are heat resistant and allow hot air to circulate.
The peculiarity of dry ovens is that they can work automatically, that is, you only need to set a certain temperature and processing program. After starting in the chamber, the air is heated to the set temperature, and the ventilation system distributes it evenly throughout the chamber. A constant temperature in the chamber is maintained by special sensors. Such sterilizers for manicure tools exclude possible corrosion of metal products, but due to too highsterilization temperature, not all items can be processed.
What are users saying?
If we analyze what the craftsmen who use dry-heat ovens say, they distinguish two models - GP-40 MO and GP-160-PZ. The first sterilizer has built-in shelves, due to which heating to a temperature of 180 degrees occurs in just 50 seconds. Users note that the model has a modern design, complemented by a digital display, which displays all the information about the program and its modes of operation.
The GP-160-PZ air sterilizer treats instruments with hot air. An autonomous device serves as protection against overheating, and air is passed between the chamber and the walls of the housing due to forced circulation. This sterilizer for manicure tools (photo above) attracts attention with the following features:
- self-contained overheat protection device;
- body and chamber made of stainless steel;
- ergonomic design.
Ultraviolet: State of the art
These devices process tools by means of ultraviolet radiation, which gives the destruction of the fungus, harmful microorganisms. Before putting the instruments into the sterilizer, they must first be soaked in a disinfectant. The UV sterilizer for manicure instruments takes about 20 minutes to process.
