What is required for an implement before disinfection?

Thorough cleaning of an implement is essential before disinfection because any residual debris, such as dust, skin, or product remnants, can interfere with the effectiveness of the disinfectant. The presence of organic matter can shield microorganisms from the action of disinfectants, making the disinfection process less effective. By ensuring that implements are clean, you create a surface that allows the disinfectant to act directly on the pathogens, significantly reducing the risk of infection during manicure procedures. This step is critical in maintaining safety and sanitation standards in any nail services.
