What is the priority when cleaning manicure tools?

Disinfecting with appropriate solutions is crucial in maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of infections in manicure practices. When cleaning manicure tools, the primary focus is to eliminate any potential pathogens that may be present on the tools after use, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Appropriate disinfectants are formulated to effectively kill these microorganisms and ensure that tools are safe for reuse.

While using soap and water can clean the tools to some extent, it does not provide the necessary level of disinfection required in a professional setting. Storing tools in a closed jar may help keep them clean temporarily but does not address the need for thorough disinfection. Additionally, drying with a paper towel, while it might seem like a step toward cleanliness, does not substitute the need for proper sanitization of tools.

The priority should always be to ensure that all tools are properly disinfected to provide a safe and healthy environment for clients and practitioners alike.
