What should a practitioner do with the towel after completing a service?

After completing a service, the best practice is to replace the towel. This is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing the potential spread of bacteria or other pathogens. Using a clean towel ensures that cross-contamination is minimized between clients, which is a crucial aspect of professional nail care and ultimately impacts client safety and satisfaction.

Utilizing a freshly laundered towel for each service also enhances the overall client experience by providing comfort and a sense of cleanliness. In a professional setting, adhering to strict sanitation protocols is paramount. This practice aligns with health regulations and standards set forth in the beauty industry.

While there are other options regarding the handling of towels, such as reusing or shaking them out, these alternatives can compromise cleanliness and present health risks. Hanging a used towel to dry may also lead to bacterial growth if it is not properly sanitized, making replacement the most appropriate and responsible choice.
