What should be used to disinfect tools after a service?

Disinfecting tools after a service is crucial in maintaining hygiene and preventing the risk of infection or cross-contamination. A disinfecting solution is specifically designed to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi on surfaces and instruments. These solutions are formulated to ensure that tools are free from any pathogens after being exposed to skin and hair during a service.

Using water alone does not have any disinfecting properties, thus it will not effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms. Soap and water can clean tools but do not provide the necessary level of disinfection required in a professional setting. Alcohol, while it may have some antimicrobial properties, is not always effective against a broader range of pathogens and lacks the comprehensive disinfecting capability that specific disinfecting solutions offer.

Therefore, the correct approach to ensuring the safety and hygiene of tools after a service is to use an appropriate disinfecting solution designed for that purpose. This practice aligns with established health and safety standards in the hair design industry.
