Maderotherapy is becoming an increasingly popular treatment in the world of beauty and wellness, and the quality of the tools plays a key role in the client’s overall experience. Alongside proper massage techniques, maintaining the hygiene of wooden tools is equally important. In this guide, you will learn how to correctly disinfect madero tools, which mistakes to avoid, and why disinfection after every massage is a must.
What are our madero tools made of?
Our tools are made of beech wood, known for its strength, resistance, and durability. Each piece is coated with several layers of special lacquer, which extends the lifespan and makes the tools more resistant to wear. Because of this treatment, proper care and disinfection are essential.
Why shouldn’t you wash madero tools with water and detergent?
Although it may seem practical, you should never soak the tools in water or wash them with detergent. Here’s why:
- Moisture penetrates under the lacquer and can cause dark stains or wood blackening.
- Fungi and bacteria develop more easily if the wood remains damp.
- Detergents and chemical agents damage the protective lacquer layer and reduce the tool’s durability.
How to properly disinfect madero tools?
After every treatment, follow this procedure:
1. Spray the tool with 70% alcohol – this is the ideal concentration, as it eliminates microorganisms without damaging the wood or lacquer.
2. Wipe with a damp tissue – to remove any alcohol residue, oils, or creams from the surface.
3. Dry with a clean cloth – to make sure the tool is completely dry and ready for the next treatment.
Tip: Do not use 100% alcohol because it evaporates too quickly and does not achieve the full disinfecting effect.
What happens if you don’t disinfect your tools?
Irregular disinfection can lead to several issues:
- Transmission of bacteria and fungi from one client to another.
- Accumulation of oil and sweat residue on the surface of the tools.
- Unpleasant odors and loss of wood shine.
- Faster deterioration and shorter lifespan of the tools.
Conclusion
Disinfecting madero tools is not just a matter of hygiene but also a professional standard. By keeping your tools clean, you protect your clients and extend the life of your equipment. Properly disinfected tools ensure that every treatment is safe, pleasant, and performed at the highest level.
