Infection control has two main steps: cleaning and disinfecting. Sterilization is a third step, but very rare. — When you CLEAN, you must remove all visible dirt and debris from tools, implements, and equipment by washing with liquid soap and warm water and by using a clean and disinfected brush to scrub any grooved or hinged portions of the item. — In the barbershop, disinfection is extremely effective in controlling microorganisms on surfaces such as shears, clippers, and other multi-use tools and equipment. NOT for use on human skin, hair, or nails. — Effective STERILIZATION typically requires the use of an autoclave, which incorporates heat and pressure. — #scbarberstateboard #scbarbertheory #infectioncontrol #scientificconcepts #allevenbarbershop (at All Even Barbershop) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9NqgnCBMbd/?igshid=1h913indg9908
