What is the main purpose of nail brush cleaning?

The primary purpose of nail brush cleaning is to prevent the build-up of products and bacteria. A clean brush is essential for maintaining hygiene and ensuring the health of both the client and the nail technician. When products such as gel, acrylic, or polish are allowed to accumulate on brushes, they can harbor bacteria and other harmful microorganisms, which can lead to infections or skin irritations. Regular cleaning of the brushes not only ensures optimal performance but also contributes to a safe and healthy environment for nail care services. By preventing residue accumulation, technicians can provide better quality work and prevent contamination.

While prolonging the brush's lifespan and maintaining its color are also beneficial outcomes of regular cleaning, they are secondary to the primary goal of ensuring the brush is free from harmful substances. Changing the brush shape is not typically a relevant concern in the context of cleaning; brush shape is generally determined by the design of the brush itself.
