How often should disinfection solution be changed?

  1. Once a week

  2. Everyday

  3. Every two days

  4. Every month

The correct answer is: Everyday

Disinfection solutions should be changed every day to ensure that they remain effective in killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi that could be present on tools and surfaces. This daily replacement is crucial in a nail care setting where tools are frequently used on different clients, increasing the risk of cross-contamination. Although some solutions may have longer-lasting properties, relying on the effectiveness of a solution that is not refreshed daily can compromise hygiene and client safety. Using disinfection solutions beyond one day can lead to reduced efficacy, as the active ingredients may degrade or become contaminated over time. Therefore, incorporating this practice into daily routines is fundamental for maintaining a safe and sanitary environment in nail care.
