Any product made of stainless steel gets a little dirty after a while. Although made of stainless steel, it isn’t immune to fingerprints and other gunk, especially after using it with massage oils and gels. Here are two quick tips for cleaning your IASTM tools.

3M Surface Disinfectant Cleaner Wipes

A must-have cleaning supply for clinics, disinfectant wipes are convenient, hassle-free and easy to use.

Wipe off oil and grime built up with a tissue or paper towel before using a disinfectant wipe. This is to help you save disinfectant wipes.

Unlike other disinfectant wipes, 3M’s Surface Disinfectant Cleaner Wipes are made specifically for clinical supplies, medical equipment and clinic surfaces.

Wipe the IASTM tool, using a clean microfiber cloth or cotton towelettes to remove excess product and prevent visible streaking. For aesthetic purposes, finishing the tool off with a soft material helps remove visible streaking, leaving your tool looking brand new.
