💫💫Station Sanitation Procedure

1. Separate clean equipment in closed containers or dry

sanitizers that are marked “Clean.”

2. Place any equipment that you are likely to need for your

next client between a folded towel or station mat before the service.

3. As you use each piece of equipment, remove it from

under the towel or mat and place it on top.

Note: If you drop an implement during the service,

place it in the dirty implement container and then washyour hands.

4. 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.

5. Depending on the regulations in your municipality,

you may need to spray scissors, clippers, and metal

implements with a germicidal, anti-viral spray.

6. 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.)

Safety and Sanitation

💫💫Daily Station Sanitation

Each day, perform the following sanitation steps:

• Clean all mirrors.

• Clean the station.

• Sanitize the chair, paying special attention to the back

and chair base.

• Wash out the garbage can or change the liner.

In addition:

• Place the chair in the forward position when not in use.

• Always clean the drain catch of the shampoo bowl afteruse.

• Wash your hands before servicing clients.

💫💫Equipment Sanitation Procedure

At the end of each service, place all used or dirty equipment together in the dirty equipment container. Sanitize this

equipment at the end of the day, or when you have

time between clients. The general procedure for sanitizing

equipment is as follows:

1. Remove hair and other debris from implements.

2. Wash implements with soap or shampoo and water.

3. Immerse the implements in the wet sanitizer for 10

minutes.

4. If you are going to use an implement immediately, rinse

off the disinfectant solution.

5. Let other implements dry overnight, wrapped in a clean

towel. Place brushes face down as they dry to assure thatwater does not remain in the brush.

Note: Some municipalities may require that a formalin/formaldehyde pill be placed in a salt shaker in each

drawer or cabinet. As the pill crumbles, it releases

formalin, which can kill contaminants, into the station.
