  2. Hi Junior. Thank you for this timely advice. I think that maintaining and cleaning any kind of equipment of this kind is important but I think a lot of people will not go this extra mile to keep things hygienic. Can you use any time of oil or does it have to be a special type?

    1. Hi Gail you’re welcome and thanks as well. You’re right every type of equipment should be cleaned, and maintained and people usually don’t really keep up with the maintenance, but it’s important. You can use any clipper brand oil like Wahl,Andis,Oster, Conair, but yeah it has to be clipper oil specially made for clippers.

  3. Thanks for embedding the video with regards to thoroughly cleaning Wahl Clippers. I generally just undo the clipper parts to clean in fear of further undoing and creating problems. After watching this simplistic assembly process I’ve cleaned mine up a treat and back together without a hitch. Like anything, once shown you’re away.
    I always oil mine to keep things running smooth but your additional hygienic application of ‘Andis cool care 5 in 1’ in order to disinfect represents another duty I will initiate.
    Thanks for the info,
    Simon.
