What wipes have to do with liftings.

Do you know seemingly inexplicable lifting problems. Sometimes a small thing is the problem. We'll show you in this video what your cleansing wipes may have to do with it and how you can evaluate their quality.

Have you ever wondered why you can't just use small pieces of kitchen roll instead of Zelettes? After all, they are also lint-free. The mirror test will show you why this can be a bad idea.

Take a piece of kitchen roll and soak it with cleanser. Then you can wring out the cloth firmly on a clean mirror. Again get the whole thing at another place of the mirror with your Zeletten. Let the liquid evaporate completely and compare the traces left behind by the kitchen roll and your Zelettes.

The more material remains after evaporation, the more the adhesion to the fingernail is deteriorated. In the case of a cleanly made zelette, the cleanser extracts at most cellulose, the substance of which the zelette itself is made. In the case of a kitchen roll, many other substances can be added - depending on how it is made and whether, it is printed.

Your work can only be as good as the products you use. Any more fabric that is separated out of the cleaning cloth can get on the nail and can cause adhesion problems. Easily test your cleaning cloths or zelettes yourself or compare two different products for cleanliness.
