2. Place the cleaned file on a clean towel, take another towel, and gently pat both sides of the nail file dry.
3. Move the file to another dry towel and spray the surface with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Be careful not to get the file wet, just make sure the spray completely covers both sides.
4. Allow your nail files to dry naturally. It is very important to make sure your nail files are completely dry before storing them so they don't get moldy and rusty.

How Often Do I Need To Clean My Nail Files?
