Q: How do you use a nail clipper properly?
A: Cut in a few small clips rather than one across the whole nail, following the natural shape, and leave a little white edge rather than cutting to the quick.
Q: Should you cut nails straight across or curved?
A: Straight across for toenails, which helps prevent ingrown edges, and gently curved for fingernails to follow the fingertip.
Q: How do you clean nail clippers?
A: Wipe the blades with surgical spirit after use and keep them dry. Stainless steel takes sterilising without corroding.
