| Quick Cleanse - Disinfecting Foot Spas After Each Client |
|
Definition
1. Drain and remove debris. Drain all water and remove all visible debris from the foot spa or basin; if there is a footplate or impeller, remove it and clean the areas behind and underneath.
2. Thoroughly clean. Clean the surgaces and walls of the foot spas or basin with chelating detergent and a brush to remove all visible debris, and rinse with clean, clear water. Although modern detergents aren't affected by hard water, soaps cause the minerals in hard water to buildup inside foot spas. Chelating detergents remove that mineral buildup and are an important first step in proper sanitation. Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA) is a very effective chelating agent commonly used in chelating detergents. Remember to clean and disinfect the brush.
3, Disinfect basin. Disinfect the foot basin with an EPA-registered, liquid hospital disinfectant for 10 minutes. If it is a whirlpool unit,the solution must be circulated. The solution must go every place the water was and must stay there for 10 minutes (or as indicated on the product label).
4. Dry basin. Wipe dry with a disposable towel. Cloth towels can transmit pathogens if they are not properly laundered between each client.
5. Record the time and date these procedures were performed in the pedicure logbook, if required by your state regulatory agency. |
