🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue
🐥
Piyo: Poppo, does washing temperature really matter that much for salon towels?
🦉
Poppo: Absolutely. Dermatophytes — the fungi that cause ringworm and athlete's foot — survive a 40°C wash. WHO guidance is clear: 60°C minimum with detergent for at least 10 minutes to achieve thermal disinfection. No shortcuts.
🐥
Piyo: What about towels that get colour-stained?
🦉
Poppo: Segregate them. Colour chemicals can interact with laundry detergent, and stained towels signal poor hygiene to clients even if they're microbiologically clean. Clean perception matters as much as clean reality.
🐮
Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — a fresh, hot-washed towel is the first promise a salon makes to every client.
