 Lesson
Basic Preventive & Corrective
1 Measure

Nail care tools and equipment are essential in nail care services. Some of
them are made of porous materials like nail files, buffers, nail brushes that can get
bacteria quickly. There are tools also that are in poor condition that pose a danger
to the clients.
In this lesson, you will be guided on how to clean tools according to standard
procedures using different cleaning agents and disinfectants in decontamination.

What's In

Cleaning tools and equipment is so vital in nail care. It should be a habit

because these tools are shared among a number of people. Cleaning prevents the
spread of fungal and bacterial diseases from one person to the other person.

To determine your knowledge of cleaning nail care tools and equipment,

answer the next activity prepared for you.

Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is not. Write your
answer on your activity notebook.

1. Cleaning tools the next day after using it is essential.

2. Sharpen nippers every day.
3. All waste materials can be thrown together.
4. Throw the water used in the foot spa immediately after use.
5. Tools that have defects are still usable.
6. Cleaning is the first step in decontamination.
7. A cleaning agent is a tool.
8. Disinfection promotes the multiplication of disease-causing bacteria.
9. Cleaning is essential to remove dirt because it might decrease the
effectiveness of disinfection and sterilization of the tools and equipment.
10.Proper handling of cleaning agents and disinfectants is a must.
11.Clean and store the equipment correctly after every use.
12.Never put equipment away unless it's ready for the next day's use.
13. Clean clippers, glass files, and cuticle nippers regularly. 
14. Wipe off any debris, wash with soap and water, and disinfect by
rubbing with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball.
15.Remove any liquids to avoid contamination.

Inventory
 What is It

Read the short story and answer the questions. Write the answer in your activity
notebook.

Sandra works in a salon. To make it clean, she uses antibacterial products

to sanitize desks and other areas and dry it with a clean cloth. She ensures that
the tools like cuticle pushers, tweezers, cuticle nippers are sterilized and disinfect
the equipment every after use. Very often, other tools like buffer, orangewood
sticks, paper tissues are replaced regularly for these items are impossible to clean.

1. Who works in the salon? ____________________________________________

2. How did Sandra maintain her salon clean and safe? _________________
3. What did she do to items that are difficult to clean? __________________
4. How can tools and equipment be kept safe, clean, and functional?

Preventive maintenance is regularly performed on a piece of tools and

equipment to reduce failure. It is essential to plan and conduct a maintenance
activity to detect defective tools and equipment to determine what particular tools
and equipment need repair and replacement.
Sterilizing metal tools, sanitizing wooden tools, disinfecting hand, and foot
spa machines are preventive maintenance activities. Contaminated tools can cause
bacterial and fungal infections that are unsightly, painful, and sometimes, fatal.
There are several methods of cleaning and sterilization.

In the workplace, to avoid contamination, .cleaning agents and disinfectants

are being used.

Contamination means soiling (dirty) like with skin or nails debris, cosmetic
product, or blood, and it may not need to be visible. Decontamination is a
combination of processes that removes or destroys contamination so that disease-
causing bacteria won't spread and can cause infection or harm to people.

Cleaning is the first step in decontamination. It will be followed by

disinfection that would eventually destroy or inactivate pathogens and
microorganisms. Meanwhile, sterilization, in contrast to disinfection, is used to
mean the destruction of microorganisms.

To start, you must:

 Clean equipment in warm water to remove all debris
 Use liquid soap or detergent according to manufacturers' instructions.
 Don't use disinfectants – these do not help remove organic residues.
 Scrub below the water surface – avoid creating mists that can spread
microorganisms
  Wear a washing-up type of gloves and – absorbent apron. Select vinyl or low
protein powder to avoid latex allergy
 Discard single-use items like razors to a container after use.

Tools and equipment need cleaning using cleaning agents before disinfection
because any surface debris reduces the effectiveness of the disinfectant. A cleaning
agent is a solvent or product used to aid the cleansing process.

Types of Cleaning Agents and Disinfectants

1. Detergents - are the most common type of cleaning agent used in home and
commercial kitchens. They work by breaking up dirt or soil, making it easy
to wash it away.
2. Bleach - is a reliable and effective disinfectant. Its active ingredient, sodium
hypochlorite, denatures protein in microorganisms is effective in killing
bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Diluted household bleach is well for the
disinfection of facilities.
3. Alcohols - are effective disinfectants capable of dissolving lipids. They
are inexpensive and relatively easy to handle, although their vapors are
flammable.
4. Quaternary Ammonium Compound - ammonia is used to clean a variety of
household surfaces like tubs, sinks, and toilets to the bathroom and kitchen
countertops and tiles. Ammonia also is effective at breaking down household
grime or stains from animal fats or vegetable oils, such as cooking grease
and wine stains. It is also commonly used in glass cleaning solutions
because it evaporates quickly.

Steps in cleaning nail care tools and equipment

Equipment

 Read directions on how to use disinfectant before sanitizing equipment.

 Follow correct measures and mixtures of disinfectants, as reflected in the
directions.
 Wipe equipment with a cloth soaked in a disinfectant solution.
 Dry the surface disinfected.
 Throw away the sanitizing disinfectant solution.

Metal tools

 Soak metal tools in hot with soap solution to remove oil residue and rinse
them thoroughly.
 Put alcohol solutions to metal tools for 20 minutes.
 Remove the tools from solution, wipe, and dry.

To ensure a safety manicure every time, follow these simple steps.

  Clean clippers, glass files, and cuticle nippers regularly.  Wipe off any
debris, wash with soap and water, and disinfect by rubbing with an
alcohol-soaked cotton ball.

 Avoid sharing emery boards because they are made of paper. Replace
them when filing nails no longer produces smooth results.

 Store tools properly. Place dry, disinfected implements in an airtight

container. It will keep them germ-free.

As part of the general habit, you must always remember the following:

a. Clean and store the equipment correctly after every use.

b. Remove any contaminated liquids.
c. Never put equipment away unless it's ready for the next day's use.
d. Always follow the operating instruction in the manual for the
equipment.
e. Always keep your tools and equipment in dry places.

Inventory & Safekeeping

Inventory is an activity to keep track and prevent loss and misplacement of

tools and equipment.

Here are some steps in doing an inventory of tools and equipment.

1. Check all tools and equipment needed for nail care services.
2. Stock consumable supplies like color and nail supplies such as nail polish,
nail tips, brushes, powder, acrylic compound to ensure the satisfaction of
clients.
3. Stock equipment like operator chairs, spa chairs, manicure desks, blow
dryers to ensure the same number of manicurists.
4. Label tools, materials, and equipment to have smooth tracking and write
down the user of the tools and equipment, especially to those who have
much staff.

Safekeeping is the storage of materials or other items of value in a protected

area. It also includes the organization of tools and equipment. After conducting
inventory, it is crucial to organize your tools and equipment accurately.

Here are some questions to keep in mind:

 Do you use your nail supplies daily, weekly, or every couple of weeks?
 Do you use your supplies in the same location or other areas of the home?
 Would you rather have your supplies out in the open for easy accessibility,
or would you rather have them tucked away somewhere for added safety?

Here are a few ways you can organize and store your nail supplies:
 1. Place all nail supplies in the container that has a lid and look for a
room to store your kit.
2. Create a space on a shelf in your bathroom closet or cabinet and add
tension rod to hold a bottle of nail polish, creams, etc. Put a magnetic
strip on the back wall of the cabinet for storing metal tools.
3. When using a drawer, clear out space and define storage areas like
one area will store nail polish, another nail tools, another for cotton
swabs.
