Floors can end up with layers of grime, dirt, and germs from people walking around. In salons, floors in workstations are also covered in hair, which can make them slippery to walk on. Salon owners should make sure that floors are swept multiple times a day and mopped to remove germs and grime.

Counters in workstations can become covered in germs from staff or customers touching tools and other items, such as brushes, scissors, combs, and sprays. Wiping down counters with disinfectant cleaner should be done daily.

Germs can accumulate in sinks and on other surfaces, such as chairs and countertops, especially in a busy salon, nail spa, or foot spa. Shampoo bowls and foot spa basins are easily overlooked and should be thoroughly cleaned. Workstations are where most traffic and mess is made so having a detailed understanding of how these areas need to be cleaned is vital for the sake of your business.
