How to Clean Nose Hair Trimmers

Though nose hair seems to be more a nuisance than anything else, it is needed to keep dust and debris from making its way into the membranes of our nose. But just because these hairs are an essential part of our health doesn't mean we can't trim them. The clippers used to maintain our appearance need to be cleaned, preferably every time they are used. Doing so will not only lengthen their time of service, but also will prevent any dirt from being brought back into your nose. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Wipe away any excess hair, dirt and mucus from the blade with a cleaning brush. Most nose hair clippers are supplied with a cleaning brush to make this process easier.

    • 2

      Remove the blade attachment from the motorized base. The majority of nose hair clippers should have a detachable blade system for cleaning purposes.

    • 3

      Run the blades under warm water to remove any remaining hair, dirt or mucus missed by the cleaning brush. If your nose hair clippers are not cleanable in this fashion (check the packaging before placing under running water), skip this and move directly to the next step.

    • 4

      Submerge the tip of a cotton swab into rubbing alcohol. To ensure that you keep the alcohol free of pollutants, pour a small amount in a small receptacle or even a spoon.

    • 5

      Wipe down the blades with the cotton swab to remove any stuck-on hair, dirt or mucus. Let the blades air-dry before reattaching them to the clippers.

Tips & Warnings

  • Clean the clippers after you've used them. This means the clippers will be ready for use the next time you need them. To lengthen the time in which your clippers are in good working condition, add a few drops of clipper oil after cleaning.
