What are lint free wipes used for?
When working with nails at home, most people use regular cotton pads. But it would be more correct and easier to turn to lint-free wipes for gel polishes. With their help, you can:
- Remove varnish or gel coating;
- Using a professional composition, degrease the nail plate;
- After creating a manicure with gel polish, remove the top layer;
- Treat the instruments thoroughly with an antiseptic.
They are produced in large packages (up to a thousand pieces). Externally, they are elastic square-shaped plates of high density.
Every girl has had to face a situation when, after removing the polish with a cotton pad, barely noticeable fibers remain on the surface of the nail. In rare cases, they can be removed by washing with water. But more often, they become obvious only after the base coat has been applied. This is a disaster for both the master and the client! All the work done is wasted, which means the process needs to be started over again.
Lint-free discs will not cause such problems.

What can be used as a replacement?
Although the impressive packaging of such "plates" is more than affordable, for some the question is relevant: what can replace lint-free wipes at home? There are options. First of all, these are their usual wet "relatives". They need to be taken out of the package, straightened and left until completely dry. Then cut into squares of the desired size. In terms of properties, they will resemble a lint-free analogue.
Another option in case you don't have a professional accessory at hand: cut calico or coarse calico with sharp scissors into squares of the required size. True, in this case, threads will remain along the edges of the imitation disks, which, if you're not careful, can cause the same problems as cotton pads. But with careful and accurate use, everything can go without incident.
Of course, alternative options are only possible for home use. When doing manicure professionally, it is worth considering the availability of all the tools and means in advance.
Lint-free wipes are, of course, not the most important thing in life, but with their help you can make the work of a manicurist easier and bring a lot of positive emotions to the client.
