Station Sanitation Procedure

-Separate clean equipment in closed containers or dry sanitizers that are marked “Clean.”

-Place any equipment that you are likely to need for your next client between a folded towel or station mat beforethe service.

-As you use each piece of equipment, remove it from under the towel or mat and place it on top.

-Upon service completion, place any equipment that has been used in the dirty implement container. Unused equipment, kept separate from the dirty tools on top of the towel or mat, is considered to be clean and may be used on your next client.

-Depending on the regulations in your municipality, you may need to spray scissors, clippers, and metal 

implements with a germicidal, anti-viral spray.

-Depending on the regulations in your municipality, you may need to spray the vinyl or nylon shampoo/client 

cape with a germicidal, anti-viral spray. (Nylon capes may need to be laundered instead.)
