Have you got any 'tricks' to share?

It is a fantastic trick I teach to everyone. So simple .. so effective ... what a difference it makes.
The trick: When you have finished sanitising your clients nails using your ScrubFresh and a gauze pad .. Place the gauze pad on your working side and if and when you need to wipe your brush as you are working, always wipe it on the damp pad.
Why? The slight dampness on the pad 'draws' any excess liquid INTO the pad and traps it there.
Wiping on your paper or a dry pad just spreads the liquid out more and increases the odour.
Put a drop of water on a dry tissue and watch it spread out!! This is what monomer does on dry paper ... suddenly a small spot of monomer becomes a huge spot of monomer, stinking out the work area.
Using the damp pad with ScrubFresh as your brush wipe also makes sure you are wiping in the same place every time and not leaning on the paper, as you work, where there is unreacted monomer.
How many rashes have I seen on the wrists of nail technicians who do that over and over again!!
