How should shampoo bowls be maintained?

Shampoo bowls require thorough cleaning with soap and water or detergent after each use to ensure proper sanitation and hygiene. This practice helps to remove hair, debris, and any potential contaminants that may pose a risk to clients receiving hair treatments. By cleaning the bowls after every individual use, salons can prevent the spread of bacteria and maintain a safe environment for their clientele.

Using only water without cleaning does not eliminate germs, and wiping them down weekly may leave significant time between cleanings, allowing for the buildup of residues. Covering the bowls with plastic does not contribute to sanitation; it merely keeps them clean from dust but does not address any contamination that may occur during their use. Maintaining a strict cleaning regimen after each appointment is critical for hygiene in any salon setting.
