Q: How should I clean my tweezers?
A: Wipe the tips with surgical spirit or rubbing alcohol after each use, then let them air dry. Stainless steel takes sterilising without corroding.
Q: Why will my tweezers not grab the hair?
A: Nine times out of ten it is residue rather than bluntness. Product build-up on the tips stops them closing cleanly, so wipe them with surgical spirit first, then check the tips meet evenly when closed.
Q: How long should a pair of tweezers last?
A: Years, with a little care. Keep the tips clean and store them somewhere they will not be knocked against harder objects, which is what pushes the points out of line.
