Now that is interesting! yes, he has worked with horses or still does a little.

I have worked in a mixed, and never again! They do have some, strange ways some of them. There is a joke that went round............

What is the difference between a horse vet and God?

God knows he is not a vet.

Wraps it up nicely I feel

lol, I feared someone would ask.......

This is not me, I might add, how I clean them

Soaked in kerosene ( ?spelling) and then in oil ( not sure what type but not clipper oil)

mmmmm!!!????

do you work in a mixed practice at all? or is your vet one that has worked with large animals a lot? - the only reason I ask is that this used to be the done thing when cleaning blades after clipping horses or sheep and in many places still is. Just out of interest have you come across any problems as a result

Kerosene? Isn't that toxic?

I've only ever seen them soaked in and then scrubbed with Hibi and sprayed with clippercide. If your boss is old school he may be hard to sway, though. Good luck.

BTW Carol I love your signature!!!

We scrub the blades (after every use) with toothbrush & clippersol/clippercide spray them afterwards (if really manky will also give them a clean with Trigene/Meddis soak & then a good rinse/spray/oil) :)

We use Oster clipper wash and oil, and also clippersol spray. I find these work really well and the blades seem to stay sharp and in good condition for ages.
