Clean and Disinfect with Barbicide & BlueCo Brands

featuring BlueCoBrands

Protect yourself and your clients by following the proper procedures for cleaning and disinfecting your salon or barbershop. BlueCo Brands, with their Barbicide® and Ship-Shape® professional disinfectants and cleaners, have set the industry standards for sanitation and disinfection. 

Barbicide traces its origins back to New York in 1947, when a science teacher named Maurice King first concocted the disinfectant solution that would come to represent crystal-blue clean in barber and salon circles. King was determined to set a higher standard for sanitation, and his breakthrough formula, distributed in transparent stainless steel and glass jars, would eliminate germs from combs, razors and other tools of the trade. A recognized symbol of superior salon hygiene, Barbicide is featured in the permanent collection of the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian!  

So whether you are looking to disinfect your professional implements, combs and brushes, or remove unwanted residue and build-up around your salon or barber shop, use products like Barbicide and Ship-Shape that are specifically designed for the unique needs of the cosmetologist.
