What is the best way to clean and/or disinfect your materials that you use for a PMU or microblading treatment
A PMU treatment starts with the mapping process. During the signing of PMU, materials are used such as; Pencils, concealers, brushes, tweezers, stencils, epilation and razor blades, eyebrow scissors, mapping threads, eyebrow spoolie and cotton swabs. Some of these products are desposibles, or disposable products. You use others more than once. The materials that are reused must be well cleaned and then disinfected.
Cleaning literally means removing 'fresh material from a surface'. According to the RIVM, "cleaning" is called when there is material. The term "cleaning" is used in the context of a room or environment and at the skin (RIVM, 2022).
What is the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?
When cleaning/cleaning surfaces, an all -purpose cleaner in combination with disposable tissues is sufficient. Disinfecting is an action in which the number of microorganisms is reduced to a level that is safe (RIVM, 2022). This is possible in different ways.
You can reach disinfection by, among other things: cooking laundry (95∘c); Boiling materials (10 minutes) and with the use of approved disinfectant agents. When disinfecting surfaces and materials, using a spray bottle with alcohol podior with a concentration of 80% is sufficient.
It is important that the disinfectant must also be able to inactivate viruses. In practice, cleaning/cleaning and disinfecting hand in hand. An object must first be clean and dust -free before you disinfect it with, for example, alcohol podior 80%, otherwise the disinfecting effect of this medicine is insufficient.
Some tips
