Information sheet 1.2
How can tools and equipment be kept safe, clean and functional?

Contaminated tools can cause bacterial and fungal infections that are unsightly,
painful and sometimes, fatal. It is very needed to sterilize metal implements, sanitize wooden
tools, disinfect hand and foot spa machines as well as environmental surfaces before and
after each use. 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. Tools and equipment must be cleaned and disinfected after each use and before
they may be used on another client. Mix disinfectants according to manufacturer’s
direction, always adding disinfectant to the water. Then pat towels after cleaning.

2. Clean towels and linens must be used for each client. Once a towel or linen has
been used on a client. It must be used again until it has been properly laundered.

3. Drain all liquid wax and remove all visible debris from machine or basin.
Thoroughly clean the surfaces and walls of the machine or basin with detergents
and brush to remove all visible debris and rinse with clean, clear water. Disinfect
machine and basin with liquid disinfectant for 10 minutes. Dry thoroughly and
store properly.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.
