Caring for your DuraVie is simple. With just a few mindful steps, you can keep your cover clean, safe, and looking like new for years. Here’s your go-to guide for everyday cleaning, wax removal, and deeper sanitation.
1. Everyday Cleaning (Low-Risk Services)
For daily use in services without heavy product buildup or skin exposure.
-
Wash with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or microfiber cloth.
-
Rinse thoroughly and let air dry completely before reuse.
✅ Best for: body treatments, nail clinics, or general use without wax.

For services where product residue is common but there’s no blood or broken skin.
-
Wax Removal: Use a professional wax remover or oil-based solvent with a soft cloth.
-
Disinfect: Wipe with 70% isopropyl alcohol for fast, effective sanitation between clients.

Apply by spray or wipe, allow the required contact time (usually 1–10 minutes).

Wear protective gloves and PPE while cleaning.
-
Let the cover air dry fully before reuse.
