Cleaning eyelash rods, often referring to silicone shields used in eyelash extensions, requires a straightforward process. This involves a simple three-step cleaning protocol followed by disinfection.
Cleaning Eyelash Extension Shields (Silicone Rods)
Here's how to effectively clean your eyelash extension silicone shields:
-
Immediate Soaking: Immediately after removing the shields from use, place them in soapy water. This initial step helps to loosen any tint or product residue that may have adhered to the surface. The quicker you start soaking, the easier the cleaning process will be. (Reference 1)
-
Thorough Soaking: Allow the shields to soak for an extended period. The longer they soak, the more effectively the residue will be removed. This step ensures a complete cleaning. (Reference 2)
-
Rinsing: After the soaking period, thoroughly rinse the shields to remove all traces of soap and product residue. (Reference 3)
-
Disinfection: Finally, disinfect the shields using a designated disinfection box. This vital step ensures hygiene and prevents the spread of bacteria. (Reference 4)
Important Considerations:
- Soapy Water: Use a mild soap and warm water for optimal cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Soaking Time: The longer the soak, the better the cleaning results. Aim for at least several minutes, or even longer if heavily soiled.
- Disinfection Method: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific disinfection equipment.
