How often should disinfectants be changed in a salon?

Disinfectants should be changed according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure their effectiveness. Manufacturers provide guidelines based on the specific formulation of their products, including how long they maintain efficacy once mixed, how often they should be replaced, and any special storage or handling considerations. Following these instructions is crucial to preventing the use of ineffective disinfectants, which could lead to a failure to eliminate harmful pathogens and result in increased risk of infections.

While changing disinfectants daily may seem thorough, it might not align with the product's intended use and efficacy period as advised by the manufacturer. Similarly, changing them weekly or only when they appear dirty does not guarantee that the disinfectant remains potent or effective over time. Adhering to the manufacturer's guidelines ensures that salon practices remain safe and compliant with health regulations, ultimately protecting both clients and staff from potential health risks.
