What is the role of disinfectants in a salon?

Disinfectants play a crucial role in maintaining a safe and hygienic environment in a salon by effectively killing harmful pathogens and allergens. The primary purpose of using disinfectants is to reduce the risk of infection and cross-contamination, which can occur when tools, surfaces, and equipment come into contact with bodily fluids or skin. By utilizing EPA-registered disinfectants, estheticians can ensure that their workspace is free from bacteria, viruses, and fungi, thereby protecting both clients and staff.

While enhancing client comfort, adding fragrance, or moisturizing skin may be beneficial aspects of the salon experience, these do not encompass the primary purpose of disinfectants in a professional setting. Client comfort and a pleasant environment are important, but they do not relate to the critical function of infection control that disinfectants serve.
