What is the best way to protect against infection during services?

Sanitizing implements is essential in protecting against infection during nail services. This process involves the thorough cleaning and disinfection of tools such as nail clippers, files, and buffers to eliminate any pathogens that may be present on their surfaces. By ensuring that all reusable implements are properly sanitized before each use, nail technicians significantly reduce the risk of transmitting infections between clients.

While washing hands frequently is a vital practice in maintaining hygiene, it primarily protects the technician and the environment rather than directly addressing the potential contamination of tools that are used on clients. Wearing gloves is also an important measure but may not be feasible or necessary during all services; it is typically used in more invasive procedures or treatments rather than standard nail care. Avoiding contact with clients completely would not be practical in a service environment, as the nature of the work requires direct interaction.

Therefore, the primary and most effective approach to safeguard clients against infection in the context of nail technology centers around the proper sanitation of tools and implements.
