What is the purpose of requiring an EPA-approved disinfecting solution?

The requirement for an EPA-approved disinfecting solution primarily serves to ensure that health standards are met. These disinfectants have been rigorously tested and deemed effective in killing harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi that may be present in a salon environment. By adhering to the use of approved disinfectants, cosmetologists protect both their clients and themselves from potential infections and illnesses, which is crucial in maintaining a safe and hygienic workspace.

While enhancing client comfort, reducing cleaning time, and lowering product costs are important considerations in a salon, they do not take precedence over the necessity to comply with health and safety regulations. Utilizing an EPA-approved disinfectant directly supports public health initiatives and safeguards the well-being of everyone in the salon.
