I've noticed that many nail artists are unaware that metal manicure tools need to be sterilized; disinfection alone isn't sufficient. The sterilization of metal manicure tools is a critical step. After disinfection, it's necessary to sterilize the tools using a hot air sterilizer. However, make sure your tools are completely dry before placing them in the hot air sterilizer, as moisture could damage them. Here's how to use it:

After disinfection, washing, and ensuring your tools are fully dried, place each set of efile bits, scissors, and pushers into separate special paper pouches.

Insert a special indicator into each pouch, seal it, and then place all the sets into the hot air sterilizer at 180 degrees Celsius for 1 hour.

After an hour, check whether both the inside and outside indicators have changed colour; a colour change indicates successful sterilization.

Here are the links to the hot air sterilizer, special pouches, and indicators I use. If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
