I always throw away non washable files. If it is an emery board i give it to the client. If it is a hard grit file for acrylics or gels i can file a few sets of nails before i throw it away and replace with a new one. All metal instruments can be soaked in barbicide. Boiling METAL instruments can also be a way of cleaning tools with some added bicarbonate of soda to prevent rusting.
