How often should esthetic equipment be sanitized?

Sanitizing esthetic equipment after each use and at the end of the day is crucial for maintaining a safe and hygienic environment in any esthetic practice. This practice minimizes the risk of infection and cross-contamination between clients, which is essential in preventing the spread of pathogens.

Sanitizing after each use ensures that any bacteria, viruses, or contaminants from a previous client do not transfer to the next client. Additionally, cleaning at the end of the day serves as an extra precaution to ensure that equipment remains safe for the next day’s use, especially those items that may not have been used during the day but are still in the esthetician's workspace.

Regular sanitation is not just a best practice; it is typically mandated by state laws and regulations to ensure public safety in esthetic services. This emphasizes the importance of understanding and adhering to sanitation protocols in any esthetician's practice.
