Hygiene is in our DNA and we take it *very* seriously at BUFF. We will never reuse something on your hands or feet unless it has been sterilised prior to minimise any health risks. All metal tools go through a 3-step sterilisation process. They are soaked in specialised tool detergent, run through a ultrasonic cycle before being sealed up and then processed through an autoclave*. Any items that can't through this process are either disposed of or gifted to you to take home for personal use.
*An autoclave is a machine typically used in healthcare settings that uses steam under pressure to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores on items that are placed inside a pressure vessel. The items are heated to an appropriate sterilisation temperature for a given amount of time. The moisture in the steam efficiently transfers heat to the items to destroy the protein structure of the bacteria and spores.
