Clippers on the grooming table

Dense animal coats put far more demand on clipper blades than human hair ever does. Thick fur packs the teeth tightly, and continuous friction builds heat that risks causing clipper burn on sensitive skin. Keeping tools cool, clean and properly treated is part of the daily work at every grooming station.

Heat, friction and dense coats

Running a clipper through heavy fur creates rapid friction between the moving metal parts. That friction turns into blade heat, which can irritate thin skin if the tool is not cooled down during long grooming sessions.

Our spray cools the metal by cutting down that friction while the clipper runs. At the same time, the high-pressure blast clears packed fur and debris out from between the teeth so the teeth move freely again.

The five jobs on the label

Clippercide handles five tasks in one step: it disinfects, lubricates, cleans, cools and prevents rust. It leaves a light film behind that keeps blades running smoother and quieter throughout the workday.

That same protective film guards the metal against corrosion and helps keep cutting edges sharp. We make one 15 oz aerosol can to handle these maintenance steps directly on the blade without extra products.

Disinfection between animals

Between appointments, the blade requires proper disinfection to meet strict health and safety standards. The label specifically addresses pet groomers alongside barbers and stylists for this between-service routine.

As an EPA-registered disinfectant, the formula is bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal and tuberculocidal, and proven to kill HIV-1 and TB. It is designed solely for metal blades, never for animal skin or other surfaces.

Contact time and proper steps

Directions on our label call for spraying the aerosol directly onto the blades after each use. The metal surfaces must stay wet for 5 to 10 minutes to achieve what the label calls full hospital-grade disinfection.

After the 5 to 10 minutes pass, wipe off any excess liquid before putting the clipper back on an animal. When skin issues arise on a pet, refer the owner to a veterinarian rather than relying on equipment sprays.
