Explanation
Board sanitation rules require single-use items (neck strips, applicator brushes, etc.) to be discarded and multi-use tools (combs, clips, shears) to be cleaned and then disinfected with an EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant before reuse. Capes that touch skin must be laundered or covered with a clean neck strip.
