Scissors: a tool that needs constant care to keep its blades sharp

Scissors often stop cutting correctly. You have to remember to maintain this tool regularly to keep it in good condition for a long time. Here are some practical tips to put into practice at home:

Clean the blades of the scissors with water and neutral soap.
Remove any debris that sticks to the sheets.
Lubricate the blades of the scissors with oil to prevent them from rusting.
Store scissors in a corner away from moisture.
Avoid using scissors to cut hard or abrasive materials.
If the blades are completely dull, you can sharpen them with a whetstone or by taking them to a professional. However, if the scissors are very damaged or rusty, it is best to replace them.

Apply toothpaste to the scissors and within 1 minute, magic will happen!
