CLIPPER TIPS

Maximum Return on Your Tool Investment

By Kenny Duncan Andis Global Educator

Proper maintenance is key to maximum performance and a longer life for your tools. The following Andis products should be part of your regular clipper or trimmer maintenance routine.

Cool Care Plus Spray

Andis Cool Care Plus cleans, disinfects, lubricates, prevents rust and cools blades. In combination with Andis Clipper Oil, Cool Care Plus helps reduce friction and extends the life of your tools. When a clipper or trimmer is running for an extended period of time, the blades build up heat, yet with one spray, Cool Care Plus instantly cools the blades to a more comfortable temperature. You should spray your tools with Cool Care Plus and set them aside for 10 minutes for full disinfection between clients.

Clipper Oil

The quality and precision of a clipper or trimmer is determined by the speed at which the blades are moving. Properly lubricating your blades will reduce friction and provide you with a more precise cut. When applying Andis Clipper Oil, place three drops across the teeth of the blade, and one drop at each inside rear corner of the blade.

Blade Care Plus

Andis Blade Care Plus is the perfect way to deep clean blades without the aerosol. While it does not disinfect, it is perfect for de-gunking heavily soiled blades. Simply pour a small amount of Blade Care Plus into the jar’s lid or a small container and submerge only the blades of your tools. Turn your clipper on and watch as the hairs are cleared away from the blades. Turn off your tool when your blades are clear, wipe off excess liquid and discard any used product.
