Clean tools last longer and work more efficiently. Following a simple cleaning regimen will protect your professional styling tools and yield better styling results. See steps below

Cleaning Supplies
Cotton balls
Wooden cuticle stick
Soft clothe
Dish soap
Warm water
Rubbing alcohol.

Cleaning Instructions
Prepare a small dish of warm soapy water. (a drop or two of common liquid dish soap)
Unplug Tools (never immerse any electric tool in water plugged or unplugged)
Proceed to clean tools while they are still warm. It will be easier to clean excess product before the iron has had time to cool, dry and solidify

Dip the edge of your cotton ball in the soapy water solution and rub the plates or surfaces in a circular motion to distribute the warm water evenly on the build-up. Wait for a few minutes and let the water and soap solution loosen and dislodge stubborn build up.

While you are waiting, carefully take the wooden cuticle stick and gently remove particles that have been packed into grooves and crevices of the tool. Do not force or jam the stick into any openings it may cause damage to the tool.

NOTE:
Do not submerge tools in water
Do not use abrasive cleaners it will scratch and damage the surface.
Do not use metal or sharp utensils.

After cleaning your tools you may find that there is a slight film left from the water and soap solution. Take a cotton ball and a tiny amount of rubbing alcohol and wipe the film off the surface and finish it with a swipe of the soft cotton clothe.

Following these simple tips will protect your tools and improve your finished styles.
