What is typically used in barbering to maintain hygiene between clients?

Maintaining hygiene between clients is crucial in barbering to prevent cross-contamination and ensure a safe environment for both the barber and the clients. The use of disinfectants for surfaces and tools is a widely accepted practice in the industry. Disinfectants effectively eliminate pathogens on tools such as scissors, combs, clippers, and surfaces where services are provided, ensuring that any bacteria or viruses from previous clients are removed before serving the next individual.

While other measures, like using new towels or bactericidal sprays on tools, also play a role in maintaining hygiene, they are not as comprehensive as disinfecting all surfaces and tools. Disposable capes offer a barrier for individual clients but do not address all tools and surfaces that might come into contact with hair or skin. Therefore, using a disinfectant provides a full-spectrum approach, contributing significantly to overall hygiene practices in a barbering setting.
