Barbicide is a disinfectant solution used by barbers and cosmetologists for disinfecting grooming tools such as combs and hair-cutting shears.

Most clipper cooling sprays dissipate the heat from the blades and also disinfect and lubricate your clipper, all at the same time. The Andis Cool Care Plus 5-in-1 clipper spray is an excellent example of a cooling spray that disinfects, lubricates, cleans, and prevents your blades from rusting.

To protect your clients, cleaning your clippers is a must. Between every client you must clean hair clippers. Use a small brush to remove any leftover hair. Then use a disinfectant spray, such as Clippercide or Andis cool care to disinfect and lubricate your clipper blades.

A popular way to clean items such as combs, scissors, and clippers is to immerse them in a barbicide solution. If you're going for this option, you'll need a cleaning container big enough for the cleaning solution, plus all of your clipper blades, hair brushes, and other barber tools.
