What is the recommended action if a tool cannot be disinfected?

When a tool cannot be disinfected, the recommended action is to dispose of it properly. This is crucial for maintaining a safe and hygienic environment in any cosmetology practice. Tools that cannot be effectively disinfected pose a significant risk of transmitting infections and diseases between clients. Proper disposal ensures that these tools do not become a health hazard.

In a professional setting, the safety of clients is paramount, and any item that cannot be sanitized to acceptable health standards should be discarded to prevent cross-contamination. Choosing to reuse a non-disinfectable tool, storing it, or using it selectively increases the risk of exposure to harmful bacteria or viruses, which is why those alternatives are not recommended.
