Disinfection & SafetyQuestion 23 of 100
A Board inspector walks in without notice and asks to see the records for your pedicure spas. What must you be able to produce?
a.Receipts showing you bought disinfectant within the last thirty days.
b.A dated cleaning record for each foot spa showing what cleaning was done and who did it.
c.A signed note from each client saying the tub looked clean.
d.The manufacturer's warranty card and installation paperwork for each pedicure chair.
Explanation
Each foot spa must have its own dated cleaning log that is kept in the salon and shown to the inspector on request, which is what option B describes. Purchase receipts (A) prove you own disinfectant but not that any tub was ever cleaned. Clients are not responsible for verifying disinfection (C), and warranty paperwork (D) has nothing to do with health and safety compliance.
