Cleaning Your Tool Kit
It is imperative we keep our tools clean and hygienic for a few reasons:
To prevent the spread of infections: If you don't clean your tools properly, they can spread infections from one dog to another. Bacteria and viruses can easily transfer from one dog to another through dirty grooming tools.
To maintain tool efficiency: Dirty tools can become less effective over time, and may not work as well as they should. This can make grooming more difficult and time-consuming.
And to ensure a safe and comfortable grooming experience: Dirty tools can cause discomfort and pain to the dog during grooming. The accumulation of hair, debris, and bacteria on the tools can cause skin irritation, cuts, and other injuries to the dog.
