Maintenance & Climate Care

How often should I clean my shears?

Wipe, disinfect, and oil your shears after every client. A full deep clean with pivot flush should be done weekly. See our Maintenance SOPs for the complete step-by-step routine.

How does Australian climate affect my shears?

Coastal humidity, inland dust, and tropical wet seasons all impact shear performance differently. Our Climate Care Guide maps maintenance routines to specific Australian climate zones, and the Climate Cheat Sheet gives you a quick reference for your city.
