The Care of Your Scissors

  1. ScissorsClean them thoroughly at the end of each day.

  2. Put two drops of scissor oil of the right viscosity (Foley-Belsaw Scissor Lube) on each blade and gently rub in - all over the blades and pivot point.

  3. Opening and closing to remove any excess oil.

  4. Store your scissors at the end of each day in a dry, warm place thus avoiding moisture or dampness which can lead eventually to rust.

  5. Do not misuse them - they are only meant to cut hair - never cut sticky tape!!

  6. Avoid dropping your scissors - especially onto a hard surface - if you do drop them please be honest and tell me - I can usually fix them - provided the metal is not fractured.
