# How to Sterilize Microblading Tools: A Professional Guide
Sterilizing microblading tools is essential to prevent infections and meet industry health standards. Below are key steps and best practices to ensure safe, hygienic procedures.
Why Sterilization Matters
- Prevents cross-contamination and infections (e.g., hepatitis, HIV).
- Complies with health regulations (OSHA, CDC guidelines).
- Maintains client trust and professional reputation.
Sterilization Methods for Microblading Tools
1. Autoclaving (Most Effective)
- Uses steam under pressure (121°C/250°F for 15-30 mins).
- Kills bacteria, viruses, and spores.
- Recommended for reusable stainless steel handles.
2. Chemical Disinfection (For Non-Autoclavable Tools)
- Soak in EPA-approved disinfectants (e.g., Barbicide, CaviCide) for 10+ mins.
- Rinse with sterile water before use.
- Avoid alcohol—it doesn’t kill all pathogens.
3. Single-Use Disposable Tools
- Blades, needles, and cartridges should never be reused.
- Discard immediately after use in a sharps container.
Pre-Sterilization Cleaning Steps
1. Pre-clean tools – Remove pigment residue with an ultrasonic cleaner or enzymatic cleaner.
2. Rinse thoroughly – Use distilled water to avoid mineral deposits.
3. Dry completely – Moisture can compromise sterilization.
Post-Sterilization Storage
- Store in sterile pouches or UV cabinets.
- Label with sterilization dates (expires in 30 days if unopened).
Industry Standards & Compliance
- Follow CDC, OSHA, and local health department guidelines.
- Document sterilization processes for audits.
By adhering to these protocols, professionals ensure safe, compliant microblading services. For High Quality sterilized tools, explore QM Makeup’s certified supplies.

If you have a shipping agent in China who can help you pay in RMB, your order total will be calculated in RMB based on the daily exchange rate.
Tattoo aftercare
How long does it take to see the effect of the aftercare for a tattoo?
Due to physical differences, the healing speed of each person's wound may be different. We recommend continuous use within one week after semi permanent makeup, and usually within 1-2 weeks, you can see a significant improvement in the appearance of the semi-permanent tattoo.
Lash Glue
With this very sticky glue, will the lashes fall off when I use the perm lotion?
Our glue is very sticky and after drying it holds the lashes very firmly to the lash silicone perm rod. Although our glue is water-soluble and can be easily cleaned with water, since there is not much water in the perm lotion, there is not enough water in it to dissolve the glue, so there is no chance that the lashes will not stick to the silicone perm rod and fall off after using the perm lotion. The same goes for Neutralizers too.
