How To Clean Your Airbrush Device

Regular and thorough cleaning of your airbrush device is essential to ensure the quality of your work and extend the life of the device. How exactly do you do this? Read our step-by-step Airbrush Cleaning Plan.

Thoroughly cleaning your airbrush device on a regular basis is crucial.

• First, this ensures that all paint residue is removed. This prevents clogs and promotes smooth operation of your device without annoying paint flow problems. This contributes to the durability of your airbrush device. Cleaning your airbrush at regular intervals prevents the buildup of paint residue and other debris that can damage the device or even interfere with its operation.
  
  
• In addition, a clean airbrush device directly affects the quality of your work. If old paint residue remains in the gun, it can affect the color and texture of new paint, ultimately preventing you from getting the desired result. It will also cause an irregular spray pattern.
  
  
• Last but not least, a clean airbrush device is essential to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mold. And you, as a beauty specialist, obviously value good hygiene.

Cleaning your airbrush is done with the bubble technique. Anyway, it is good to apply this technique regularly.

1. Remove excess paint from the metal cup with a cotton ball.
2. Add (distilled) water to the cup and spray in a bowl or on a piece of kitchen paper to remove any remaining paint.
3. Remove the cup and place the large plastic cup on the gun.
4. Fill with lukewarm (distilled) water.
5. Set the airbrush to position 2.
6. Put your finger or a cotton ball on the nozzle.
7. Press the trigger and slowly pull back. The water will now bubble.
8. Let the water bubble for 10 seconds until the water runs clear, then discard the water.
9. Repeat this 2 more times.
10. Fill the cup with water again and remove your finger or the cotton ball from the nozzle and squirt the water into a bowl or sink.
11. Spray until no more water comes out of the gun.

After each Airbrush Brows treatment, rinse your device thoroughly. You also do this at the end of the day after your last client. Only then is it important that you clean your airbrush extra well. And this is how you do it:

1. Flush the Airbrush device using a Cleaning Pot or the bubbling technique, as described above.

2. Remove the metal cup, as well as the needle cap and nozzle cap. These are the two rings that make up the nozzle.

3. Place the parts in a container with water and possibly special airbrush cleaner or other cleaning agent.

4. With a rag, clean the hole of the paint cup.

5. Very carefully clean the needle with a cotton swab with alcohol. Also go into the opening of the gun with a cotton swab.
6. Remove the cup, needle cap and nozzle cap from the bowl. Dry all the parts with a paper tissue.
7. Now you can put everything back together and your airbrush is ready for the next day.
