All The Great Things You Never Knew About Barbicide Jars

By Grace Rivera


The disinfectant used in barbicide jars is an essential item in any salon. Nothing is higher priority than cleanliness when working with manicure or hair grooming tools. These items must be completely cleaned after each use, so these jars work hard to keep things sparkling clean.

Many manicure stations depend on the small 4-ounce jars. Placed on the work surface, they are close enough to quickly slip used equipment inside. Tidiness and sanitation is kept foremost in mind as salon employees work with their customers.

The mid-size jar will keep twenty one ounces of fluid and hold multiple manicure implements and tools at one time. This is a perfect size for counter tops and larger customer volumes. The larger amount of disinfectant will completely cover everything so that all surfaces are exposed for sanitation. The tall jar will hold about thirty-seven ounces of liquid and allows for complete immersion of combs, brushes, scissors and long tools.

Holding preferred status in many areas of personal care, these are designed for long terms of service. They have glass bodies which are the result of custom design work, and the inner baskets are made of stainless steel. The sturdy bases are rubber and added to the bottom to prevent tipping or slipping. Each basket may be easily removed without touching the liquid inside.

Maurice King and his brother, James, are the two who developed this product and its subsequent marketing and sales. The year 1947 was the birth of this genius blue liquid. It completely disinfects in ten minutes time. The liquid stays blue, regardless of use, and this distinguishes it from competitors. The design for the jar is attributed to the brother's King Research. Once the public discovered it, they could not get enough of it. It started to turn up on shelves everywhere. Stories about customers insisting on seeing their personal care tools taken from the container are common. Any business offering personal care depended upon it and customers came to recognize it as a symbol of cleanliness.

Antique and vintage ones are sold on many popular online sale and bidding sites. There are plenty available, most likely due to the fact that these items were required barber shop items, by law, in all states. The germicide, virucide and fungicide capabilities of the liquid inside have contributed to the legendary fame of the containers, and they are very collectible. In many cases, items in excellent shape can command high prices.

When collectors by the antique versions, they find all sorts of interesting ways to put them to new use. Some are shown off in display cases, curio cabinets and shelves. Others become clever storage units for pencils, pens, paint brushes, sewing supplies or other tools. The possibilities are endless. If the metal parts are in good condition, they can be put into use with their original purpose.

Cleanliness is the image of barbicide jars. They are icons of the sanitation world. Steady popularity and usefulness have contributed to the fame of the beautiful glass containers. They are interesting in their simplicity and practical for workers. It is interesting to see how they have become the clean symbol for decades of appreciative businesses and customers.
