 Read and appreciate the concepts that you need to know and
understand. These concepts, as presented below, revolve around the
prime information about maintenance of nail care tools and equipment.
Information Sheet # 3.1

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
observance of safety rules in the salon industry can be of great help in preventing
accidents and injury to anyone in the salon.

What is meant by Sterilization? What is Sanitization?

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 vapor fumigants.

What is the difference between disinfectant and antiseptic?

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.

 Information Sheet #3.2

Safekeeping and Storage of Tools and Implements

It is vital to sterilize metal implements, sanitize wooden tools, and disinfect

hand and foot spa machines as well as environmental surfaces before and after each
use. Contaminated tools can cause bacterial and fungal infections that are unsightly,
painful and sometimes, fatal. There are several methods of cleaning and sterilization.
Do a cursory cleaning after each nail care service and deep-clean monthly to keep
tools safe and useful all the time.
1. Sterilize metal implements after each use in a hospital-grade disinfectant that
is bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal. This disinfectant can be found in
beauty supply stores. Immerse the tools in the disinfectant for 10 minutes.
2. Disinfect foot basins after each use with a bleach solution. Make a 1-to-10
solution by mixing one-part bleach with 10 parts water. Using gloves, rinse the
basin with the solution to disinfect. If necessary, scrub with a detergent to
remove any dirt or debris.
3. Use a boiling method of sterilization once a month to disinfect all metal
implements. Designate one pot for sterilization to prevent cross-contamination
with food. Submerge the tools in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain the tools
and allow them to dry.
4. Store sterilized metal implements in an airtight, zipper-sealed bag to keep
them from being exposed to dirt and bacteria. Be sure tools are completely
dry before storing them. If waiting more than a couple of weeks before the
next nail care service, sterilize the tools again before use.
5. Inspect tools and equipment regularly to identify defective ones for repair,
replacement or condemnation.

Keeping the Workplace Clean and Safe

1. All beauty salons must be well-lighted and well-ventilated and must be in good
sanitary condition.
2. The salon premises must be free from rodents, vermin, flies or other similar
insects.
3. All salon establishments must be provided with continuous running hot and
cold water.
4. The curtains and floor coverings in the salon must be washable and kept
clean.

7
 5. All hair, used cotton or other waste materials must be removed from the floor
immediately, and deposited in a closed container. Get rid of them from the
salon premises at frequent intervals.

6. The rest rooms must be well-sanitized and be provided with individual towels.
7. Each beautician must wear a washable uniform while working on clients.
8. Each client must be provided with a freshly laundered towel.
9. All waste materials should be disposed of in an enclosed waste bin fitted with
polythene bin liner, durable enough to resist tearing.

See to it that 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 labeled properly either for repair or for discarding.

Do the following measures after every manicure service:

1. Tools which are made of plastic should be kept clean and sanitized properly in
preparation for the next use.
2. Empty bottles and containers are discarded in a separate trash bin.
3. Used cosmetic products and other chemicals are stored, arranged and
properly labeled.
4. Finger bowls must be cleansed and sanitized before use for the next patron.
5. Metal tools and instruments must be sterilized following proper sterilization
techniques. After the process, store it in a dry cabinet until needed.
6. Tools/Implements which are made of porous materials such as nail files,
buffers, nail brushes and orangewood sticks can harbor bacteria easily. Since
they are wood products which cannot be sterilized, these tools are
disposables.
7. Waste materials should be disposed of properly in an enclosed waste
container fitted with polythene bag and should be sanitized with disinfectant
regularly in a well-ventilated area. Remember to wear protective gloves while
doing this.
8. Contaminated wastes should be disposed of, following the right procedures
prescribed by local authorities.
9. Any tool or equipment in poor condition must be repaired immediately or
disposed of properly so as not to pose danger to the clients as well as the
beauticians.
