Sterilization

The process of completely eliminating all forms of microbial life, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, from a surface, object, or environment. This is achieved through methods like autoclaving, which uses high-pressure steam, or chemical sterilants. Sterilization ensures that tools and equipment are entirely free of any potential infectious agents, making it a critical practice in medical and nail salon settings where absolute cleanliness is essential.
