What must be done to non-disposable articles after use?

Non-disposable articles must be disinfected after use to ensure they are free from harmful bacteria and pathogens. Disinfection is a critical part of maintaining a safe and sanitary environment in any cosmetology practice. This process involves using appropriate disinfecting solutions that are effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.

While storing items in a cabinet, washing them with soap and water, or putting them in a plastic bag are important practices in general hygiene and storage, they do not adequately address the need for disinfection. Simply washing with soap and water may not eliminate all harmful agents, and putting items in a plastic bag does not ensure they are clean and safe for the next use. Disinfection is specifically designed to reduce the risk of infection and contamination, making it the essential step for non-disposable articles after use in a cosmetology setting.
