These are recommended procedures for cleaning and disinfecting all types of pedicure equipment,
including whirlpool units, air-jetted basins, pipe-less and all non-whirlpool basins, sinks, bowls and
tubs. In all cases described below, we recommend using an EPA registered hospital liquid
disinfectant that the label claims is a bactericide, virucide and fungicide. Always record the time each
cleaning procedure is performed in a salon pedicure cleaning log, for your convenience, a sample
Cleaning and Disinfecting log sheet is located on page 18. A patron or state board representative
may request to see your pedicure spa cleaning log.
