One-page reference card for tool sterilisation & disinfection in salons.
Every reusable tool that contacts skin must be sterilised between clients — this is a non-negotiable infection-control principle[1]. Sterilisation methods range from chemical immersion (barbicide, quaternary ammonium) through ultraviolet-C cabinets to hospital-grade autoclaves. In any country, the national health regulator specifies minimum disinfection standards for personal-care businesses[2]. The choice of method depends on tool material, infection risk level, and regulatory tier.

| Autoclave spore-test pass | Monthly | Weekly | 2 weeks | Biological indicator |
| UV-C cabinet timer compliance | Variable | 100% | 1 week | Timer log |
| Tool inventory traceability | 50% | 100% tagged | 1 month | Asset register |
| Chemical immersion contact time | Variable | 100% per SDS spec | 1 week | Timer + log |
