Cleaning Process
How To Clean Tools After Use:
Disinfect each tool used with either Cavi wipes or PREempt, allow service to remain wait for at least 3 minutes and then leave to air dry.
For the Rf vacuum, you will need to unscrew the protective screw and run it through hot water/use those little pipe cleaners to really get in there. Once that is complete rise some Pre Empt through it and allow it to air dry before re-screwing it in.
Once a week deep clean (vacuum machine):
Step 1: Fill up the sink with hot water and add in PREempt.
Step 2: Run hot water through all your cups and hoses to ensure no oil build up which will prolong your machines life.
Step 3: Soak your cups and hoses for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Place down a towel and lay your tools out to air dry.
Set Up Before Each Client:
Step 1: Ensure the massage bed is made, plus switch out the pillow case and place down a new towel for clients to lay on top of during the procedure.
Step 2 : Ensure all dirty surfaces have been wiped, the cleaner the room the more professional you come across to clients.
Step 3 : Ensure all tools that have been used are clean.
TIP : Set the vibe, clients come to us for many different reasons, yet all of them want to be pampered. Take the extra time to create a clean and cozy vibe for your studio by setting up music, lighting a candle, having a cozy blanket for your clients, etc…

How Germs Get Around
CONTACT OR DIRECT TRANSMISSION
MRSA can be directly transmitted by skin-to-skin contact for as long as the bacteria is present on a person's skin.
Herpes and the virus that causes genital warts can be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact even if there are no lesions or warts present on the skin.
DROPLET TRANSMISSION
Examples of pathogens spread by droplet transmission include:
Coronavirus like COVID-19
Flu and the common cold
Measles
INDIRECT CONTACT VIA FOMITES OR VEHICLE- BORNE TRANSMISSION
Viruses such as Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C can survive on environmental surfaces or tools for 7 days to up to 3 weeks while Coronavirus or the Flu can survive for hours to days.
MRSA can survive between 2 to 6 months on surfaces that have not been disinfected.
There are 5 KEY STEPS to stopping the spread of germs:
