A new disinfectant spray I tried last month ruined two of my clipper blades
I saw this spray at the supply store, the guy said it was a fast way to clean between clients. It was a blue can, about $18. I used it on my main Andis blades, just a quick spray and wipe like it said. Within a week, the metal started to look dull and then I saw tiny spots of rust. I had to toss both blades, which set me back almost $90 to replace. The spray had something in it that ate right through the coating. I went back to my old barbicide dip method and won't stray again. Has anyone else had a tool ruined by a cleaner that promised to be easier?

My barber buddy said those quick sprays can strip the protective coating right off.

Man, that's a tough break and sounds really familiar. I had a spray do the same thing to a pair of Oster blades a while back. What finally worked for me was just going back to the basics with clipper oil and those little brush pads. A quick scrub with the oil after each cut keeps the gunk off without hurting the metal, then a proper clean at the end of the day. It takes a minute longer but it's cheap and never lets me down. Sometimes the old way is just the right way.
