How to Keep Your Equipment Running Like New

Your grooming equipment is the backbone of your business. A little regular care can extend its lifespan, prevent breakdowns, and save you money. Here’s how to keep your clippers, dryers, and blades in top condition.

Regular Servicing: Prevent Problems Before They Start

Think of servicing as an MOT for your equipment. Annual servicing is essential, but if you use your tools daily, a six-month check-up is even better. A quick inspection can spot minor issues before they become costly breakdowns.

Clipper Care: Keep Them Running Smoothly

• Oil & Clean Blades Regularly – A dry blade increases friction, causing overheating and unnecessary wear. Always oil after cleaning to keep them running smoothly.
• Avoid Fluid Inside the Clipper – If oil or blade wash seeps into the clipper, it can damage the motor. Apply carefully.

Dryer Maintenance: Clean Filters = Better Performance

• Check and clean the filter weekly – A clogged filter forces the motor to work harder, shortening its lifespan. Most filters can be blown out or washed, but always dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

Carbon Brushes: The Small Parts That Matter

• Carbon brushes wear down over time – These small but crucial components keep electricity flowing to your motor. If left too long, without being changed, they can damage the motor itself.
• Some models of clippers let you check them yourself, while others need professional servicing. All blaster dryers require these changed professionally.

Blade Storage: Keep Blades Sharp & Rust-Free

• Store blades properly – Moisture and dust dull blades over time.
• Use the Laube Blade Wash Caddy to keep them clean and organised.
• Maintain blade sharpness with Blade Majik.

The Bottom Line

A few minutes of maintenance can save you time, money, and hassle. Stick to these simple steps, and your equipment will stay reliable, efficient, and ready for work every day.
