How often should barbers sanitize their tools during a workday?

  1. Once a day

  2. Before and after each use

  3. Every hour

  4. At the end of the workday

The correct answer is: Before and after each use

Sanitizing tools before and after each use is crucial for maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of infections in a barbering environment. This practice ensures that any contaminants or bacteria are eliminated before a tool is used on a client, as well as after use to prevent cross-contamination. The high touch nature of barber tools, such as scissors, combs, and clippers, makes it essential to maintain rigorous sanitation standards throughout the workday. Following this guideline not only complies with health and safety regulations but also demonstrates professionalism and care for client well-being.
