Some nail diseases are contagious to the next client who is going to use the
same tools and equipment. Indeed, it is vital for beauty care therapists to
decontaminate tools and equipment in prevention of cross infection. In addition, the
salon or work environment must be always clean and germ free in order to provide
safe, quality, and professional nail care services.

dusting on tools and surfaces. The purpose of sanitation is to remove the bacteria
and germs on tools, surfaces, and equipment before disinfection and sterilization.
However, sanitized tools and surfaces may still have pathogens and other
microorganisms on them.
There are two ways to sanitize the clients’ hands before manicure procedure:
1. Washing the hands. Washing is the best way to sanitize and clean the
hands with soap and warm water. However, make sure that the towel for drying is
also sanitized and disinfected. Avoid reusing towel to different clients. One towel
must be used per client. Moreover, it is better to use liquid soap in a pump-action
bottle than the bar soaps to avoid being contaminated with bacteria that can even
grow on it.

This pertains to the 3Rs: Reduce, reuse, and recycle. You can do these by
reducing products used
in the salon, for example, measure correct quantities of product; separate waste,
such as plastics from glass and biodegradable materials; by using natural products;
and reducing the use of chemicals. Empty bottles and cans could be re-used for
storage of manicure implements, but ensure that the empty bottle and cans are not
container of harmful chemicals that might damage supplies in reusing. Separating
waste is an efficient way of identifying material that could be recycled, for example
plastic bags.
