Why is it important to clean and replace towels after each client?

Cleaning and replacing towels after each client is essential for ensuring hygiene and preventing contamination. In a manicuring practice, tools and surfaces are in constant contact with skin, nail products, and sometimes even blood from minor nicks or cuts. This creates an environment where bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens can thrive. By utilizing fresh towels for each client, you minimize the risk of cross-contamination and the spread of infections or diseases.

Keeping towels clean also reassures clients that they are receiving services in a safe and sanitary environment, which is crucial for maintaining trust and professionalism in a salon setting. This practice is a fundamental part of infection control protocols, important not just for client safety, but also for the health of the technician performing the service.
