How should disinfectants be used according to standard practices?

Disinfectants should be used according to manufacturers' directions because following these instructions ensures their effectiveness in eliminating harmful pathogens. Manufacturers provide specific guidelines regarding the type of disinfectant to use, dilution ratios, contact time, and surfaces that can be treated. Adhering to these recommendations is critical in the nail technician profession to maintain a safe and hygienic environment for clients and practitioners.

Using disinfectants randomly or only when busy can lead to inadequate sanitation, which may put clients at risk and violate health regulations. Moreover, while it's important to disinfect surfaces after every client as part of standard practice, simply doing so without regard for the manufacturer’s directions may not achieve the desired level of cleanliness. Therefore, using disinfectants according to the recommended procedures is essential for ensuring proper sanitation and compliance with industry standards.
