Barbicide Empty Jar (Disinfecting Jar)

Barbicide Empty Jar (Disinfecting Jar)

The Barbicide Empty Jar is the iconic professional disinfecting container used in barbershops and salons to hold a mixed solution of Barbicide disinfectant. It is designed for soaking and sanitizing combs, shears, clippers, razors, and other metal grooming tools between clients.

It’s typically sold as an empty glass jar with a stainless steel lid and internal basket, with the disinfectant solution purchased separately.

Key Features

• Made from durable chemical-resistant glass
• Includes a stainless steel lid and removable basket
• Designed for full immersion disinfection of tools
• Stable base to prevent tipping during use
• Professional “blue jar” design commonly seen in barbershops
• Available in multiple sizes (commonly 21 oz midsize and 37 oz tall)

Common Sizes

• Midsize jar: ~21 oz capacity (compact workstation use)
• Tall jar: ~37 oz capacity for larger tools like shears and combs

What it’s used for

• Disinfecting combs and brushes
• Sanitizing scissors and shears
• Soaking clipper guards and metal tools
• Maintaining state board sanitation compliance in barbershops
• Keeping tools ready between clients

Important notes

• The jar is not the disinfectant itself—it must be filled with diluted Barbicide solution.
• Tools should be cleaned (hair/debris removed) before soaking, since disinfectant works best on already-clean surfaces.
• Solution is typically changed regularly in busy shops to maintain effectiveness.
