Care & Sterilisation

To keep your STALEKS baby nail scissors and file in top condition:

• Wipe scissors blades with a clean, damp cloth after each use and dry immediately.

• Disinfect with a gentle instrument disinfectant solution. Do not sterilise in an autoclave or dry-heat oven.

• For the glass nail file: rinse under running water, clean with a mild disinfectant, and allow to air-dry completely before storing.

• Occasionally apply a tiny drop of instrument oil to the scissors joint to keep the stroke smooth.

• Store both items in the original case or a clean protective pouch, away from moisture. Do not allow the glass file to knock against hard surfaces — glass files can chip if dropped.

About This Series

The STALEKS Beauty & Care series is designed for home and semi-professional use. Featuring a distinctive matte satin or coloured finish, ergonomic handles with larger finger holes, and medical-grade stainless steel construction, Beauty & Care instruments deliver comfortable, reliable performance for everyday nail care. The series is designed for chemical disinfection rather than autoclave sterilisation, making it ideal for personal and family use. Beauty & Care scissors are manually sharpened for a precise cut from first use.

FAQs

Are STALEKS nail scissors safe for children?

Yes — STALEKS makes dedicated children's nail scissors designed specifically for safely trimming small nails. The SC-30/2 and SBC-10/4 feature rounded or child-safe blade tips and blades sized for small fingers, reducing the risk of accidental cuts. The SBC-10/4 (Beauty & Care) adds ergonomic handles with larger finger holes for a more controlled grip. Always supervise scissor use on young children. For newborns and infants, the SBC-10/7 set (scissors + glass nail file) is purpose-designed for 0+ use with fully rounded, non-traumatic blade tips.

Can I use these scissors on a newborn's nails?

Yes — the STALEKS SBC-10/7 set is specifically designed for newborns (0+). The scissors feature rounded blade tips that are safe for use on very young infants. The included glass nail file is ideal for finishing and smoothing the nail edge after trimming. For the youngest infants, many parents prefer to start with the nail file only and introduce the scissors as the child grows. Always support the child's hand firmly and use good lighting when trimming very small nails.

Should I use scissors or a nail file for baby's nails?

For very young infants (newborn to a few weeks old), a glass nail file is often easier and safer — baby nails are very soft and can be gently filed without any cutting risk. As the nails grow stronger and longer (typically from a few weeks), the included rounded-tip scissors make it easier to trim the nail length before filing. The SBC-10/7 set provides both tools, giving you the flexibility to use whichever is appropriate for your child's age and nail condition.

Tips for trimming a baby or young child's nails safely

Trim nails when the child is calm — after a bath (when nails are soft) or during sleep works well for infants. Use good lighting and support the child's hand firmly. Cut or file in small, incremental steps rather than trying to remove a lot at once. With the SBC-10/7 scissors, follow the natural curve of the nail to avoid cutting too close to the skin. After trimming, use the included glass nail file to smooth any sharp edges. If you accidentally nick the skin, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth — do not use a plaster on very young infants as it can be a choking hazard.

How do I clean children's nail scissors?

Wipe the blades with a clean damp cloth after each use and dry immediately. For the SBC-10/7 (Beauty & Care series), chemical disinfection with a gentle instrument disinfectant is recommended. This series is not suitable for autoclave or dry-heat oven sterilisation. The glass nail file can be rinsed under running water, cleaned with a mild disinfectant, and left to air-dry. Store both in the original case or a clean pouch, away from moisture.
