Are the fluff brushes I use to dust both my clients’ hands and my table safe to use, and should I disinfect them?
These brushes should not be used to remove dust from clients’ skin or nails since they cannot be properly cleaned and disinfected between each client as required by most state board regulations.
Nail dust should be removed only with a brush that can be properly cleaned and disinfected, i.e. nylon brushes. Fluff brushes can be used for general nail table dusting and should be regularly washed in the laundry with detergent and hot water, but they should never come in contact with your clients’ skin.
