Hairdressing scissors must be well cared for for a long and perfect use.

With hair scissors, regardless of their quality level, it is important to carry out basic cleaning regularly to ensure a longer life and longer sharpness. Basic maintenance includes cleaning, oiling and drying. Ideally, the hair scissors should also be disinfected with UV steriliser (steam sterilisers are not recommended).
Even though the GogiPet® Elite Japanese steel scissors are made of 440C Stainless Steel, this means that only the material cannot rust easily, but it is important to maintain the contained carbon and cobalt to ensure a long sharpness.

Clean scissors with a soft scissor cleaning cloth after each use to remove hair and foreign bodies and oil the axial joints so that the scissors still glide well and remain sharp for a long time even after many applications. Use a scissors case so that the scissors remain well protected and cannot fall. (At Onlinezoo you can also get scissor cases including a cleaning set.) UV steriliser are also available at Onlinezoo at a reasonable price.

From time to time pet hair scissors need to be adjusted to ensure a good cut. (For GogiPet dog scissors you do not need any tools for this, just turn the adjusting screw by max. 1/4 turn).

How to adjust the hair scissors correctly:

Under no circumstances should the adjusting screw be turned too tight. This could cause permanent damage to the cutting edge and, in the case of modelling scissors, cause the teeth to become permanently caught. The blades should lie loosely against each other so that straight class 1 and class 2 scissors open by themselves when you open them at an angle of approx. 23º and hold them by a scissor handle. Modelling scissors, class 3 dog scissors and curved scissors should open and close very smoothly without resistance.
If hairs bend off during cutting, the scissors are adjusted too loosely, turn the adjusting screw by 1/16 turn (one click) and continue cutting. If it is still too loose, turn another click.

Dog scissors are precision tools and are very sharp when they are new. To keep them sharp, do not cut matted hair or felt that would damage the cutting edge and shorten the life of your scissors.
Before cutting, the dog must be brushed out washed and felt free.

With thinning scissors and modelling scissors it is particularly important that you never cut into felt or knots, because then the teeth get caught and destroy the hair scissors. Even a cut in a knot can damage the hair scissors to such an extent that they have to be taken to a scissors service.

Scissors become dull after long use, have your scissors sharpened by a specialist in good time. If the scissors should fall down, do not continue working, have them repaired to avoid further damage.
