What is an important step to take after using a foot spa?

Disinfecting the foot spa and allowing it to dry is a critical step in maintaining both hygiene and client safety after use. Foot spas can harbor bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens that thrive in warm, moist environments. By thoroughly disinfecting the spa, you eliminate any potential contaminants left from previous clients, which significantly reduces the risk of infections and ensures a safe experience for the next user.

Allowing the spa to dry after disinfection is also important because many disinfectants require a contact time to be effective, and drying helps to further inhibit microbial growth. This practice not only complies with health regulations but also fosters a professional image in your nail tech business, reassuring clients that you prioritize their health and safety.

Neglecting to properly clean and disinfect the equipment would lead to a higher risk of spreading infections, which is something every nail technician must actively avoid to protect their clientele and their reputation.
