What should be done with tools that have been used on a client?

Cleaning and disinfecting tools that have been used on a client is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of infections. Proper sanitation practices are crucial in the beauty and cosmetic field, especially when working with sensitive areas like the eyes and skin.

When tools are cleaned and disinfected, it ensures that any bacteria, pathogens, or residues from the previous client are effectively removed, protecting both the next client and the aesthetician. This is a fundamental principle of infection control and is required by health regulations to maintain a safe environment.

Other actions, such as merely wiping tools with a towel or leaving them as is for the next client, would not sufficiently eliminate potential contaminants. Storing tools in a safe place without proper sanitation practices would also pose a risk to the next client. Therefore, following a strict cleaning and disinfecting protocol is the only appropriate action after tools have been used on a client.
