How should all tools and equipment be maintained in a salon?

All tools and equipment in a salon should be maintained in a clean and sterilized manner to ensure client safety and uphold hygiene standards. Regular cleaning and sterilization are essential in preventing the spread of infections and diseases. By keeping tools clean and properly sterilized between uses, you minimize the risk of cross-contamination and protect both clients and technicians from harmful pathogens.

This approach not only aligns with health and safety regulations but also promotes a professional image for the salon. Using unclean tools or storing them in a dirty state could lead to serious health risks and damage the reputation of the business. Additionally, using tools meant for a single client without subsequent cleaning can create a barrier to ensuring cleanliness for the next client. Therefore, maintaining all tools and equipment in a clean and sterilized condition is the best practice for any nail technician.
