Making an investment in a high-quality hard wax warmer is a fantastic way to launch your career as a waxer or to demonstrate your dedication to delivering an even higher level of service to the customers you already have. It goes without saying that a higher price tag is associated with quality, thus it is essential to protect the investment you have made.
Make sure you have all of the necessary supplies close at hand before you start cleaning your hard wax warmer. The following items are required in order to clean a hard wax warmer: gloves, a spatula, sterilizing wipes, cloth wax strips, paper towels, and oil.
When cleaning a hard wax warmer, it is essential to take the additional precautions necessary to avoid injury. Especially when you use them on a daily basis, it's easy to forget that hard wax warmers are tools that can reach temperatures that can cause quite significant burns. This is especially true when you consider how often you use them.
Before beginning to clean your hard wax warmer, one of the first things you should do is examine the temperature. Before you begin cleaning your hard wax warmer, you must first turn it on to melt any remaining wax, which causes it to reach an extremely high temperature.
It is necessary for it to be heated in order to remove the residue; however, if it is too hot, there is a risk that you will burn yourself.
When you are cleaning your hard wax warmer, there is one more thing you need to be sure you are not doing, and that is using cotton rounds. Cotton rounds stick to wax and can make a major mess (which is exactly what you are trying to avoid by cleaning!), thus removing wax with cloth wax strips is a far more effective method.
Last but not least, although this is more of a piece of advice than a safety measure, the best method to remove wax from your wax warmer is to clean it with oil.
To melt the wax that is still in the tin, you will need to turn on the wax warmer.
Put on gloves, and then start scraping away any bigger chunks of wax buildup with a spatula while protecting your hands.
You can attach wax cloth strips to any sticky remnants of wax that are still present along the inside of the tin. You can find these remnants at the edge of the tin. To remove, remove by continuously sticking and pressing.
In order to prevent any burns or other incidents, turn off the wax warmer once all of the visible wax has been removed.
Spread some oil on a piece of paper towel, and then use it to wipe the inside of the can thoroughly to remove any wax residue.
To remove any remaining oil from the tin, wipe it down with a fresh piece of paper towel.
To clean the inner tin as well as the exterior surfaces and buttons of the hot wax warmer, you can use sanitizing wipes or a paper towel that has been drenched with isopropyl alcohol.
Paper towels should be used to wipe down all surfaces to ensure that there is no residue left over after cleaning.
Even though keeping your hard wax warmer clean on a regular basis will help it last longer, these devices do not have an infinite lifespan. If they are cared for and maintained correctly, wax warmers of good quality can survive for several years.
Investing in a wax warmer of a high-end caliber is a significant step in advancing your profession as an esthetician. Learning the appropriate way to clean your wax warmer is important if you want to get the most use out of your investment and keep the cleanliness of your salon a top priority.
When you are cleaning your wax warmer, you should always be conscious of factors like the temperature, and you should also keep materials handy that will make your job easier, such as waxing oil and waxing strips.
