Features and instructions for the use of ultrasonic sinks for manicure instruments

The times when, in order to disinfect manicure instruments, it was necessary to resort to boiling and treatment with antiseptics are a thing of the past. Increasingly, ultrasound washers for sterilizing manicure instruments, which are used in manicure, are found among the tools of salon masters. This equipment greatly facilitates the work of the master and has a number of its features. Let's look at what the advantages and disadvantages of an ultrasonic bath are and find out how to use them correctly.

Ultrasonic cleaning for cleaning manicure instruments is a high-tech container in which tools are placed after each client. Processing is carried out by means of ultrasound with a frequency of 40 kHz on average, which allows the instrument to be rid of contamination even in the most difficult to reach places. It is worth noting that after the ultrasonic cleaning the master must disinfect the instruments with a special solution.

The principle of operation of the device is simple: The ultrasonic wave is generated through the solution poured into the tank. In the course of this, the dielectric pressure increases and tiny vacuum bubbles appear, forming the effect of cavitation. It is from the blasting of these bubbles that dirt is eliminated, bacteria and fungus are destroyed. At the same time, the ultrasonic cleaner is harmless to the equipment being processed.

Used for ultrasonic cleaning ordinary water or disinfectant solution. For each cleaning time, the liquid 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 before the next client.

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

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

The master does not need to control the cleaning process, the device is easy to operate and maintain. If necessary, the removable stand of the sterilizer is easy to remove and wash separately from the apparatus itself. In addition, the sterilizer is safe to use.Compared with heat treatment devices, ultrasonic washing for manicure tools eliminates the possibility of burns. Another advantage of the device is the ability to store the tool until use.

As for the shortcomings, according to the masters, these include the need for additional processing of each tool with a special solution. Specialists are categorically tuned: they call ultrasound washers a means of presterilizing cleaning and disinfection. You can not entrust them with 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 tools to be cleaned.

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

• tools must be placed at the bottom of the sterilization tank;
• it is necessary to pour liquid 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, choose the desired mode of purification;
• press the start sterilization button;
• after the required time has elapsed, 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, take out the tools and pour out the liquid.

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

Buying a sink for manicure tools, you should pay attention to a few nuances. For example, power is an important factor, since it is the efficiency of the equipment and the speed of processing that depend on it. Optimal performance options are up to 70 watts. The minimum considered for purchase is 30 watts.

As for the capacity of the internal bath, then everything will depend on the preferences of the master. Some people like the 1.2 liter chambers, others have enough half-liter tanks. When buying, you need to estimate the volume of the processed tool in order not to overload the device and thereby not to reduce its effectiveness.

Looking closely at a particular product, you need to pay attention to the quality of the assembly and the material of the body. As a rule, low quality options are not difficult to determine 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. In addition, when buying a sink for cleaning manicure tools, the price will be an equally important factor: you can also navigate through it.
