What the Clippercide label says and what it requires
A straightforward review of the registered claims, contact times and blade directions printed on our 15 oz aerosol can for barbers, stylists and pet groomers.
State board inspectors, shop owners and grooming clinics often need to know the exact wording on our can rather than general shop talk. We make one can, a 15 oz aerosol, and every claim on its label has been reviewed by the EPA. Reading the text plainly shows what the spray is formulated to do and where its limits sit.
What EPA registration means on the back bar
Federal registration means our disinfection language is not promotional copy. When a spray carries an EPA registration number, the maker cannot alter the scope of its antimicrobial claims or promise results outside the approved text. For a shop owner facing an inspection, this registration provides the paper trail boards look for during station audits.
Our label addresses professional barbers, stylists and pet groomers who must keep tools within strict health and safety standards between services. Because the can is an EPA-registered disinfectant, the instructions for use carry the weight of compliance. Following the printed directions is what maintains those professional standards on the station.
The exact organisms covered by the label
The disinfection claim on our can is specific and fixed. In the words of the label, Clippercide is bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal and tuberculocidal, and it is proven to kill HIV-1 and TB. That is the complete list of pathogen claims established on the container, and we add nothing else to it.
Outside of germicidal action, the spray handles four mechanical jobs on the metal itself. The high-pressure spray blows hair and debris out from between the teeth, cuts heat and friction, leaves a lubricant film that keeps blades running smoother and quieter, and guards against corrosion to keep edges sharp.
Contact time and proper application steps
Directions on the can require the formula to be sprayed directly onto clipper blades after each use. The metal must stay visibly wet for 5 to 10 minutes before any remaining wetness is wiped away. The label calls this process full hospital-grade disinfection, and cutting that wet time short voids the standard.
Wiping the blade dry immediately after spraying removes the active liquid before it finishes its job. Letting the solution sit for the full 5 to 10 minutes allows the formula to disinfect while the protective lubricant film settles onto the cutting surfaces to prevent rust and reduce ongoing wear.
Surfaces and uses not permitted by the label
Inspectors and clinics frequently ask whether the aerosol can be used across entire workstations or on other implements. Our can is formulated exclusively for clipper blades. It is not approved for chairs, counters, shears, plastic combs or any general shop surface, and it must never be treated as an all-purpose room spray.
Skin contact must also be avoided. The spray is never to be applied to hands, arms, open wounds or client skin under any circumstance. Keeping the nozzle directed solely at detached or switched-off clipper blades keeps the shop aligned with the label directions and safety protocols.
The label in four lines
- The can is an EPA-registered disinfectant, so every pathogen claim on the metal is fixed by law.
- Our label is bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal and tuberculocidal, proven to kill HIV-1 and TB.
- Blades must remain wet with spray for 5 to 10 minutes before excess liquid is wiped off.
- The formula is strictly for clipper blades and is never for skin, hands or general salon surfaces.
