Single-Use vs Reusable Tools
Nail files, buffers, and sanding bands are used daily in salons, but they can easily harbour bacteria if not managed properly. Understanding when to sterilise and when to replace is critical for infection control and client safety. Single-use tools are designed to be discarded after each client, while reusable ones must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between uses. Following the correct system protects your clients and maintains professional hygiene standards in line with UK regulations.
