Whether you’re a barber, dog groomer, or just a parent who bought clippers to give their kids a cut every now and then, it’s important to keep your electric clippers clean. Luckily, this is pretty easy to do and you have a ton of options at your disposal. As a note, you must remove the clipper blade with a screwdriver if you’re going to soak it in any kind of cleaning solution. If you’re just doing a quick cleaning, you can dip, wipe, or spray the blade with it still attached to the clippers so long as you don’t get the body of the clippers wet. In addition, all of these solutions will work for blades and blade guards alike—they should both be clean, so don’t skip one for the other!

- It really cannot be overstated how important it is to clean disinfect clipper blades if you’re a professional stylist, barber, or groomer. All kinds of nasty bacteria can build up on the blades if you don’t clean them thoroughly.[12] You should perform a quick cleaning in between haircuts, and a deep cleaning at least once a day.Thanks
