Cleaning and Disinfecting Pedicure Equipment
These are recommended procedures for cleaning and disinfecting all types of pedicure equipment, including
whirlpool units, air-jetted basins, pipe-less and all non-whirlpool basins, sinks, bowls and tubs. In all cases
described below, we recommend using an EPA registered hospital liquid disinfectant that the label claims is a
bactericide, virucide and fungicide. Always record the time each cleaning procedure is performed in a salon
pedicure cleaning log, for your convenience, a sample Cleaning and Disinfecting log sheet is located on page
18. A patron or state board representative may request to see your pedicure spa cleaning log.
“Pipe-less” foot spas - For units with footplates, impellers, impeller assemblies and propellers
After every client
1. Drain all water from the basin.
2. Remove impeller, footplate and any other removable components according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
3. Thoroughly scrub impeller, footplate and/or other components and the areas behind each with a liquid
soap and a clean, disinfected brush to remove all visible residue, then reinsert impeller, footplate and/or
other components.
4. Refill the basin with water and circulate the correct amount (read the label for mixing instructions) of
the EPA registered hospital disinfectant through the basin for ten minutes.
5. Drain, rinse and wipe dry with a clean paper towel.
At the end of every day
1. Fill the basin with warm water and chelating detergent (cleansers designed for use in hard water) and
circulate the chelating detergent through the spa system for five to ten minutes (follow manufacturer’s
instructions). If excessive foaming occurs, discontinue circulation and let soak for the remainder of the
ten minutes.
