You can clean your trimmer effectively with a few simple steps to ensure hygiene and maintain its performance.
Here's a breakdown of how to clean your trimmer:
-
Check for Rinse-ability: Before you begin, verify if your trimmer is designed to be rinsed under water. Consult the manufacturer's instructions or look for a water-resistant symbol. If it's not rinse-able, skip the rinsing steps.
-
Use the Provided Brush: Your electric trimmer typically comes with a small brush. Use this brush to remove any loose hair or debris from the trimmer blades. This is crucial for maintaining optimal performance.
-
Clean with Soap (Optional): If your trimmer is rinse-able, you can use a mild soap to further clean the blades. Apply a small amount of hand wash or soap to the trimmer head.
-
Use a Toothbrush (Optional): If using soap, a spare toothbrush can be very helpful to gently brush between the teeth of the trimmer blades, dislodging any stubborn debris.
-
Rinse Thoroughly (If Applicable): If your trimmer is rinse-able, rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove all traces of soap and dislodged debris.
-
Dry Completely: After rinsing, ensure the trimmer is completely dry before storing or using it. You can use a clean towel or let it air dry. This prevents rust and ensures longevity.
By following these steps, you can keep your trimmer clean and functioning properly.
