What type of product is typically used to disinfect tools in a barbershop?

In a barbershop, the primary focus is on maintaining a clean and safe environment for both clients and practitioners. An EPA Registered Disinfectant is specifically designed to eliminate pathogens and is proven effective against various bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates these disinfectants, ensuring they meet strict criteria for safety and efficacy when used on non-porous surfaces, such as tools and equipment in a barbershop.

Using an EPA Registered Disinfectant is essential because barbers are required to adhere to health and safety regulations, which mandate that tools that come into direct contact with clients—like scissors, combs, and clippers—must be properly disinfected to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases. This level of disinfection is not something that antiseptic lotions, alcohol swabs, or foam cleansers can typically achieve on tools, as they do not possess the broad-spectrum efficacy or regulatory approval necessary for professional use in this context.
