4. Template / checklist

Daily salon laundry hygiene checklist

Towels washed at 60°C+ with detergent (per WHO guidance)
Clean towel stock sufficient for full day
Soiled towel bin lined and closed-lid
Cape/gown supply checked and clean
Laundry area separated from service area
Dryer lint filter cleaned after each load
Colour-stained towels segregated from whites

5. Common mistakes to avoid

Towels washed below 60°C to save energy — dermatophytes survive
No separation between clean and soiled towel storage
Towels reused between clients without wash ('just the cape')

6. Dialogue

🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — 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.
