How To Clean The Banisher

By Daisy Jing

Taking care of our microneedling tool requires sanitation and proper care e in the same way we take care of our facial skin. 

Follow these basic sanitation rules to get the most out of your Banisher microneedling tool!

We’ll also show you some alternatives that you can use as a substitute for isopropyl alcohol in cleaning the Banisher.

THE BANISH KIT

The Banish Kit is an at home microneedling kit solution to reduce the look of acne scars and hyperpigmentation. This kit can also be used on fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, body scars, and other body parts.

How To Clean A Microneedlig Tool

To clean a microneedling tool you need isopropyl alcohol at 70%.  

1)  Twist and pull the cap off the Banisher 3.0, pour the alcohol up the fill line pop it back on. 

2) Let the needles touch the rubbing alcohol for at least 5 minutes.

3) Remove the cap and let the Banisher air dry for a minute and place it back in it's storage container.  

How to remove blood or debris 

Use a new soft bristle toothbrush with some soap to brush off stains or debris. Wash the tool off under running water.  Then, sanitize the Banisher 3.0 with isopropyl alcohol and air-dry it and store it back in it's protective cap. 

TYPES OF ALCOHOL AND ALTERNATIVES TO USE

Clean the Banisher  using Isopropyl alcohol. There are two types of Isopropyl alcohol that you can use, anywhere between 70-90% is suitable.  

Isopropyl alcohol has both antiseptic and cleaning agents to sanitize the Banisher 3.0. 

Just make sure not to share the Banisher with anyone.   

70% Isopropyl Alcohol VS. 99% Isopropyl Alcohol - which should I use for sanitizing?

70% ratio (or above) of Isopropyl alcohol effectively works as both a general-purpose cleaner and disinfectant.

99% Isopropyl alcohol, on the other hand, is better as a solvent or for sensitive electronics because it will evaporate quickly. 

So look for 70% concentration isopropyl alcohol found in drugstores, department stores.   

ALTERNATIVES FOR ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL

But what if I can’t find any rubbing/isopropyl alcohol?   Don’t fret! There are  substitutes for cleaning your Banisher microneedle tool. You may either use surgical spirit in the UL or denture tablets (Polident). 

Denture cleaners or tablets are otherwise known as dilute sodium hypochlorite/mild bleach.

Surgical spirit is actually known to be a British equivalent of the rubbing alcohol. This contains both water and alcohol which is used for treating wounds or even cleaning surgical instruments. 

To clean your Microneedle tool using the surgical spirit:

1) Soak the Banisher in a container filled with surgical spirit

2) Take Banisherr out of the surgical spirit and let it air dry for a couple minutes..

If you are using denture tablets, you can follow the instructions provided in the packaging for them but instead of placing dentures, fully submerge the bristle head of the Banisher.
