What should happen immediately after implements have been immersed in disinfectant?

After implements have been immersed in disinfectant, it is important to rinse them with water to remove any residual disinfectant solution. This step helps ensure that any chemicals that may be left behind do not come into contact with the skin or nails of clients, which can cause irritation or allergic reactions. Rinsing also helps maintain the integrity of the tools and ensures that any disinfecting agent does not interfere with the next service or treatment.

While drying the implements with a towel is a common practice in some scenarios, it can potentially introduce contaminants back onto the tools. Storing the implements in a closed container is important for maintaining their cleanliness, but this typically occurs after they have been dried and are ready for use. Using the implements right away without rinsing could lead to the issues mentioned above, compromising client safety. Rinsing is therefore a critical step in the sanitation process following disinfection.
