How To Choose The Right Barbicide Jar

By Randi Boyer


Barbicide is very common in barbershops and salons. It is a blue solution that is used to disinfect tools and small equipment such as scissors and combs in a salon or barbershop. Such tools are used daily by many people. It is therefore important to put them in a disinfectant to get rid of fungus and other contaminants that could cause diseases. A barbicide jar is also common in hospitals, dental clinics as well as other medical facilities.

Maurice King invented the disinfectant in 1947. It is said that he named the disinfectant barbicide because he hated barbers. James King his brother took the job of marketing it around the United States. In the modern day this disinfectant is found in many hospitals and salons all over the world. King research is the company that is responsible for manufacturing it. The Environmental Protection Agency in the United States has approved this disinfectant to be used in clinics and hospitals.

It is a strong disinfectant and it has been proven to kill Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B and the HIV-1 virus as well. Apart from being a germicide and a fungicide it is also a viricide and a pseudomonacide. If it comes in contact with the skin or the eyes it causes irritation. Consuming this solution leads to shock and if the victim is not rushed to hospital it can also cause death.

Jars are commonly used to store the solution. Big jars are the most common because they can store a large amount of the disinfectant and also hold many tools in them. Small and medium jars are also available. They are mostly used by salon professionals to disinfect clips, hair pins and bobby pins. Tools should be soaked in the disinfectant after they have been used once. This keeps customers safe.

Containers which are medium in size are about 8 inches tall. These containers are mostly used to soak combs and scissors in a salon. The containers are designed to have an easy pull up tray which makes it easy to access items after they have been soaked.

Large jars are easy to find. They have a capacity of up to 37 ounces of solution. They also have a tray to ease removal of disinfected tools. They are very flexible and that is why they are more preferred. They can be used to disinfect a wide range of tools.

This disinfectant is a symbol of sanitation and cleanliness. It has been recognized for many decades and many stylists and barbers display it on their shelves to date. Many customers also demand that the tool being used on their head be dipped in it if dropped. Technicians claim this disinfectant is superior to all of its competitors.

When deciding on a barbicide jar it helps to know what items you are going to disinfect. For personal use it is advisable to pick the medium or small sized jar. In case you would like to use the solution to clean spots and disinfect them then you can put it in a spray bottle.
