Perform Basic Preventive and Corrective Maintenance

This document provides instructions for properly cleaning and sterilizing tools and equipment used in nail care services. Key steps include sterilizing metal implements after each use in a hospital-grade disinfectant for 10 minutes. Foot basins should be disinfected after each use with a 1:10 bleach to water solution. Tools should also be sterilized once a month by submerging in boiling water for 10 minutes, then dried and stored in an airtight bag. Inspecting tools regularly and properly cleaning and sterilizing helps prevent bacterial and fungal infections.

CORRECTIVE
MAINTENANCE (1)
1. How are you going to clean your
dirty school shoes?

2. How are you going to wash your


dress?
How can tools and equipment
be kept safe, clean and
functional?
It is vital to sterilize metal
implements, sanitize wooden
tools, disinfect hand and foot spa
machines as well as environmental
surfaces before and after each use.
1. Sterilize metal implements after each
use in a hospital-grade disinfectant that
is bactericidal, virucidal, and
fungicidal. This disinfectant can be
found in beauty supply stores. Immerse
the tools in the disinfectant for 10
minutes.
2. Disinfect foot basins after each use
with a bleach solution. Make a 1-to-10
solution by mixing one part bleach with
10 parts water. Using gloves, rinse the
basin with the solution to disinfect. If
necessary, scrub with a detergent to
remove any dirt or debris.
3. Use a boiling method of sterilization
once a month to disinfect all metal
implements. Designate one pot for
sterilization to prevent cross-
contamination with food. Submerge the
tools in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Drain the tools and allow them to dry.
 
4. Store sterilized metal implements in an
airtight, zipper-sealed bag to keep them
from being exposed to dirt and bacteria. Be
sure tools are completely dry before storing
them. If waiting more than a couple of
weeks before the next nail care service,
sterilize the tools again before use.
 
5. Inspect tools and equipment
regularly to identify defective ones
for repair, replacement or
condemnation.
 
Contaminated tools can cause
bacterial and fungal infections that
are unsightly, painful and
sometimes, fatal. There are several
methods of cleaning and
sterilization.
Do a cursory cleaning after
each nail care service and
deep-clean monthly to keep
tools safe and useful all the
time.
