Hygiene

• All equipment and tools will be thoroughly disinfected before each appointment. Our therapists will continue to follow all government guidance on hygiene, including regular handwashing and frequent sanitisation of any surfaces used.
• Sanitising is removing any debris and washing with soap and water
• Disinfecting kills 99% of all bacteria, fungi and virus
• Sterilising kills all microorganisms present, including the spores

Sanitize all reusable tools by washing them

Under lukewarm running water, thoroughly rinse implements and abrasives until all traces of soap are washed off. With a clean or disposable towel, completely dry each item

Submerge them in hospital-grade disinfectant  for at least 10 minutes

After sterilisation, store the tools in the steriliser until we are ready to use them.

Properly store all sanitized and disinfected implements to avoid contamination. Airtight containers or zipper bags promote the growth of bacteria, and are therefore inadequate for storing clean implements. Once we use an implement, it can’t go back in the drawer; we will place it in a separate, labeled container, where it’s away from clean items and ready to be sanitized and disinfected.
