Always let your airstyler's attachment cool down completely before cleaning it. Wipe away product residue (like mousse or hairspray) with a lightly damp, soft cloth, and avoid abrasive sponges, harsh cleaning products, or sharp objects that could damage the ceramic coating. Cleaning regularly doesn't just keep the device hygienic, it also helps maintain the attachment's heat output and lifespan.
In short
- Always let the attachment cool down completely before you start cleaning.
- Use a soft, lightly damp cloth, never abrasive sponges or harsh cleaning products.
- Remove product residue (mousse, hairspray, oil) regularly. Built-up layers can affect heat output.
- Also clean dust and loose hairs from the air intake grille regularly to prevent overheating.
- Only put the device away once it's completely cooled down and dry, to avoid damaging the coating.
Below you'll find the exact steps, and which mistakes work against you most on a ceramic coating.
Why does regular cleaning matter for a ceramic attachment?
Products like mousse, hairspray, or oil can build up on the attachment's surface over time. That buildup can affect heat output, meaning heat transfers to the hair less evenly and increasing the risk of sticking or pulling while styling.
A fully fired ceramic coating, like the one on the Airstyler Pro Ceramiq, is more durable than a thin spray-on layer, but it's still sensitive to scratches or damage from the wrong cleaning products. Good care protects that investment.
How do you clean the attachment step by step?
Turn off the device, unplug it, and let the attachment cool down completely. Depending on the last heat setting used, this can take a while. Then wipe the surface with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning product, and dry it off afterward with a dry cloth.
Never use an abrasive sponge, steel wool, or a scouring cleaning product: these can damage the ceramic coating, exposing the material underneath and making the coating more likely to chip or peel.
What else deserves attention besides the attachment?
The air intake grille at the back of the device catches dust and loose hairs, which can restrict airflow if it isn't cleaned regularly. Use a soft brush (an old, clean makeup brush works well) to gently clear the grille.
Only store the device once it's completely cooled down and dry. Storing it while the attachment is still damp or warm can damage both the coating and the housing over time.
Frequently asked questions
Can I clean the attachment with water?
A lightly damp, soft cloth works fine. Never submerge the device itself in water, and make sure it's completely cooled down and unplugged before you start.
Why can't I use an abrasive sponge on the ceramic coating?
An abrasive sponge or scouring product can scratch the ceramic layer, making it more likely to chip and exposing the material underneath.
How often should I clean my airstyler?
If you regularly use styling products, cleaning weekly is a reasonable rule of thumb. If you use fewer products, you can clean less often.
Why should I clean the air intake grille too?
A clogged grille restricts airflow, which can lead to overheating and a shorter motor lifespan.
