Check condition of Nail Care Tools and Equipment

Last module you learned the use of tools, materials and equipment according to
task required and the safety procedure of using tools, materials and equipment. In
this module you will learn the process of sterilization/sanitation of nail care tools.

Definition of Terms
Condition - the state of something with regard to its appearance, quality or
working order.
Sanitize - make clean and hygienic
Sterilize - make free from bacteria or other living microorganisms
Microorganisms -a microscopic organism, especially a bacterium, virus or fungus
which cannot be seen directly to our eyes

Fumigants - a chemical that produces fumes used to disinfect or purify an area

Disinfection - the process of cleaning something, especially with a chemical, in
order to destroy bacteria
Saturate - cause to become thoroughly soaked with liquid so that no more can be
absorbed
Debris - scattered pieces of waste or remains
Solution - a liquid mixture in which the minor component is uniformly distributed
within the major component

It is important to assemble, sanitize and sterilize all the necessary items before
starting any nail care activity. Sanitation is the application of measures to promote
public health and prevent the spread of infectious diseases. The bservance of safety
rules in the salon industry can be of great help in preventing accidents and injury
to anyone in the salon

Sterilization is the process of destroying all living micro-organisms.

Sanitization is the process of destroying some, but not all micro-organisms.
Sterilization and sanitization techniques which are being practiced in the beauty
salon involve the use of physical agents like heat and radiation; and chemical
agents like antiseptics and vapour fumigants.

A disinfectant is a substance used to control micro-organisms on non-living

surfaces such as tools, equipment, and furniture/ fixtures. An antiseptic is an
agent that prevents the multiplication of micro-organisms. Since it is milder than a
disinfectant, it can be used directly on the skin Preparation of

Equipment to be sanitized
 4

a. Read directions on disinfectant.

b. Measure and mix disinfectant as directed.
c. Saturate a cleaning cloth with disinfectant solution and wipe entire surface area
of equipment.
d. Wipe the surface with paper towel to dry it.
e. Dispose of sanitizing solution and used towels.

Preparation of Metals Implements for Sterilization

a. Soak the tools/ implements in hot, soapy water solution to remove any debris
and oil residue. Rinse them thoroughly.
b. Place the tools/implements in a 70% to 90% alcohol solution for 20 minutes.
c. Remove the tools/implements from solution, wipe them dry, and place them into
a dry sterilizer.

Preparation of the Sanitizing Jar

a. Cleanse sanitizing jar with disinfectant and wipe it dry.
b. Place thin layer of sterile cotton at the bottom of jar.
c. Remove implements from wet or dry sanitizer and place them into the jar
handles up, except for metal nail files.
d. Fill jar with 70% to 90% alcohol solution to cover cutting edges and tips of
orangewood sticks

Keep in mind that all tools/implements and equipment should not be used unless
effectively sanitized or sterilized so as to prevent possible diseases and that all
materials are neatly organized on the trolley. All beauticians should maintain a
high standard of personal hygiene. Wherever possible, use disposable products.
Make sure that the client’s safety and comfort is ensured by using tools and
equipment which are in good condition and that he/she is provided with the
appropriate personal protective clothing.
Your goal is to give the highest professional nail care service to each client
thus, tools and equipment are checked thoroughly to identify those which function
efficiently and those which are not; Functional tools and equipment are stored
safely in accordance with salon requirements and local health regulations. Non-
functional or faulty tools and equipment are segregated and labelled properly either
for repair or for discarding.
After every working session, the following should be done:
a. Tools which are made of plastic should be kept clean and sanitized
properly in preparation for the next patron.
b. Empty bottles and containers are discarded in a covered trash bin.
c. Used treatment products and other chemicals are stored, arranged
and properly labelled in the cabinet.
d. Finger bowls must be sanitized before use of every client.
e. The hand and foot spa machines must be flushed with a solution of
about 5% bleach and circulate the liquid through the system for at least 10
minutes.
f. Leave the solution in the hand and foot spa machines overnight or at
least 5-10 hours before draining the machines so that they are
thoroughly sanitized.
g. Table tops and door handles are wiped with disinfectant and the floor
should be mopped with disinfectant as well.
h. Metal tools and instruments must be sterilized following proper
sterilization techniques. After the process, store in a dry cabinet until
needed.
 5

i. Tools/Implements which are made of porous materials such as nail files,

buffers, nail brushes and orangewood sticks can harbour bacteria easily.
Since they are wood products which cannot be sterilized, these tools should not be
reused.
j. Waste materials should be disposed properly in an enclosed waste bin fitted with
polythene bag. The bin should be sanitized with disinfectant regularly in a well
ventilated area. Remember to wear protective gloves while doing this.
k. Contaminated wastes should be disposed of as recommended by local authority.
l. Any tool or equipment in poor condition must be repaired immediately or
disposed
properly so as not to pose danger to the clients as well as the beauticians
