How to disinfect electric beard trimmer, comb, nail clipper and scissors to disinfect the bacteria from folliculitis? i cant afford expensive chemical
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Below: comb, nail clipper and scissors should be washed, dried and then soaked in alcohol for 1/2 hour. The electric beard trimmer: if possible remove the head and do the same procedure as above. If not removable, clean as good as possible, then use a Qtip and dab the head with alcohol.
