I used to think a quick spray with the clipper cleaner was enough

For a long time, I'd just blast my clippers with that blue spray after each cut and call it a day. Then, about three months back, I had a client come in with a really bad scalp rash. He said his last haircut was from another shop, but it got me thinking hard about my own cleaning. I started taking my Wahl Seniors apart every single night, brushing out all the hair from inside the housing, and soaking the blades in barbicide for the full 10 minutes, not just a dip. The difference is huge. My tools run cooler and quieter, and honestly, I sleep better knowing I'm not just moving germs from one person to the next. It adds maybe 15 minutes to my close-up, but it's non-negotiable now. What's your full breakdown and disinfect routine look like?

Totally. I do the same full soak now.

Is it that big a deal though?
