Background Information
Preparation for Nail Cleaning
CLEANING YOUR NAILS:
Method 1 (Quick Clean)
1. Clean dirt from under your nails. Using the tip of the nail pick on a pair of clippers or
nail pusher, clean underneath your fingernails to remove dirt and other built-up
grime.
1
2. Wash your hands. Use a mild, natural soap and wash your hands under warm water.
You don’t need to focus on your nails specifically, just wash your hands. It’s
generally better to use mild soap and wash your hands more regularly. Strong, harsh
paraben-based soaps will make nails brittle, and alcohol-based hand sanitizers
likewise weaken nails.
3. Soak your nails in a bowl of warm, soapy water for about three minutes. Submerge
the very tips of your fingers, not your whole hands, under the water and let them
soften slightly. Make sure the water is not too lukewarm or scalding hot, but a
comfortable temperature somewhere in between. Soaking nails help to make them softer
and more pliable, making it much less likely that you will chip or break a nail during the
cleaning process.
4. Use a nail brush to scrub the tops. After soaking, scrub your nails hard, and all over,
including underneath your nails. When you are finished, pat your hands dry. If you
do not have brush specifically for cleaning your nails, use a clean toothbrush
specifically for cleaning your nails, use a clean toothbrush specifically for the
purpose.
5. Remove previous nail polish. Use a strengthening nail polish remover and cotton
balls or wipes and wet them with the polish remover. Scrub your nails firmly to strip
the nail polish left on your nails. Starting from the cuticle of the nail and working
toward the fingertip, not forgetting to do the side. Survey your nails afterwards for
any more nail polish and remove.
6. Wash your hands again. Give your hands another quick rinse and then pat them dry,
do not rub them. Rub on some rich hand cream, if you want, or go about the rest of
your routine.
Method 2 (Deep Clean)
1. Apply baking soda to whiten. If you want healthy looking, strong nails that will look
clean and stay clean, mix a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, using
about 2 ½ tablespoons of baking soda per tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide to
create a paste. Spread the paste on and underneath your nails, then rinse and pat
dry. If applied weekly, this mixture helps to keep your nails white and luminescent,
especially after having used a darker nail polish. Alternatively, try using whitening
toothpaste in the same way. The active ingredients are essentially the same, if you
are not interested in mixing up a batch of the home-made stuff.
2. Moisturize your nails every week. To keep your nails pliable and free of cracks and
other problems, it’s a good idea to moisturize them regularly with aloe, cocoa butter
lotion, or even natural oils like olive or coconut. These natural treatments won’t
necessarily change the look of your nails, but will help to keep them soft and pliable
over the course of the week.
3. Treat yellow nails with lemon juice or tea tree oil. If you have yellowish nails, it can
be the result of either smoking, stain from polish, or a fungal infection, which can be
difficult to treat or get rid of. Tea tree oil, however is a natural fungicide with
antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, while lemon juice or lemon essential oil has
citric acid which helps to whiten nails back to their original luster.
4. Use denture cleaning solution on your nails. While it might sound strange, tablets
used to make denture-cleaning solutions are high in citric acid and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda), which can be used to clean, whiten, and otherwise
improve the look of your nails.
2
5. Try apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is rich in malic and acetic acids, which
have cleansing and anti-fungal properties that can help whiten nails and avoids from
infection and discoloration. Dilute vinegar with an equal part of clean water and soak
nails for up to 20 minutes.
6. Give yourself a periodic vacation from polish, you can stain and weaken your nails in
the long term, even if you thoroughly clean them between applications. It is a good
idea to let the nails build back up some strength and healthy color about once a year
or so, keeping polish off them for a month or two. Apply coats of homemade
cleansers and whiteners to get your nails looking good again. It’s also important to
always clear coat your nails before adding colored polish to keep them from staining
as easily as they might otherwise.
