When should disinfectants be used in a salon?

Disinfectants should be used after each use of tools and equipment to ensure a safe and hygienic environment for both clients and practitioners. This practice is crucial in preventing the spread of infections and maintaining overall cleanliness in the salon. Using disinfectants immediately after using tools minimizes the risk of contamination and protects clients, especially in areas where skin is being manipulated or where there's a potential for blood exposure.

In addition, regular disinfectant use is part of a professional's duty of care in maintaining a sanitary workspace. It ensures that even if tools are not visibly dirty, they are still treated to eliminate any pathogens that may not be easily seen. Having a consistent hygiene routine promotes health and safety standards, which are vital in any personal care setting.
