Clipper and trimmer maintenance – how to keep them in top shape
- , by Someone You Know
Anyone who buys a good hair clipper or trimmer naturally wants to use it for as long as possible. And rightly so, whether you're a barber or just do your own haircuts at home. With proper maintenance, your hair clipper or trimmer will stay in top condition for longer.
In this blog post, we'll explain how to best maintain your clippers and trimmer. This not only improves performance but also significantly extends their lifespan.
Why maintenance is so important
Every clipper and trimmer consists of moving parts, such as a motor and cutting blades. With intensive use, hair, grease, and dirt accumulate between the blades. If you don't clean these regularly, the blades can become blunt or even jam. This leads to skin irritation and overheating of the motor.
A poorly maintained clipper has to work harder, consumes more power, and breaks down faster. You can prevent all of this with a few simple steps. Proper maintenance saves you money and frustration.
Daily maintenance: here's how to do it
1. Remove hair immediately after use
After every shave or trim, use a brush to remove all hair from the blades. Most professional clippers and trimmers come with such a brush.
2. Use a cleaning spray
A clipper spray—like the MonsterClippers Clean & Cool Blade Spray —disinfects and removes oil and hair residue. Spray it briefly over the rotating blade and let the device run for a moment. This keeps your blades clean and fresh.
3. Oil your knives regularly
After cleaning, apply a few drops of clipper oil —preferably Wahl or MonsterClippers. Turn the appliance on so the oil is evenly distributed over the blade. This reduces friction and extends the life of both the blades and the motor.
Weekly maintenance for intensive users
For barbers or people who use their clippers frequently, a thorough weekly cleaning is recommended.
· Remove the cutting blade (if possible)
· Many clippers allow you to unscrew the cutting blade . Then clean both the housing and the cutting blade with a brush.
· Check if the blades are still sharp
· Dull blades pull hair or cause irritation. Brands like Wahl and MonsterClippers offer replacement blades that you can easily install yourself.
Storage and protection
In addition to cleaning and oiling, the way you store your clipper or trimmer is also important.
· Store the device in a dry and dust-free place
· Never store your clippers in a damp bathroom drawer. Choose a closed, dry place or use a protective cover instead.
· Use a charging stand
· This way, your clipper stays neat and charged, and you prevent cable stress or unnecessary damage to the battery.
Common mistakes in maintenance
· Do not use oil
· Many users forget to lubricate their appliances regularly. This causes the blades to wear out faster, the appliance to overheat, and it breaks down more quickly.
· Using water on non-waterproof models
· Only waterproof devices should be placed under a tap. Water can damage the electronics of other models.
· Using too much oil
· A few drops are enough. Excess oil can actually trap dirt and leak into the engine.
