How to remove
Cleaning & hygiene
Discard single-use files and buffers after the service. Reuse only products specifically designed for reprocessing, following their cleaning and disinfection instructions. A quick sanitizer spray is not a substitute for the required process.
Storage & care
Keep clean and dry in a covered container, separate from used tools. Replace damaged or worn items.
