Station Sterilisation Checklist

0/6
  • Clear away all hair, debris, and used products from the station after each client before you disinfect
  • Always clean tools first; disinfectant only works on a clean surface, so wash off product and residue before immersing
  • Wash combs and brushes, then fully immerse them in a disinfectant such as Barbicide for the stated contact time
  • Disinfect clipper and trimmer blades before and after each use; use spray or foam if the blade does not detach
  • Use single-use disposables, such as razor blades and neck strips, once and then bin them, never reuse
  • Wipe down the chair, headrest, work surface, and any shared handles between clients

What’s on it

10 things to check.

Everything that matters, nothing that does not. Here is the full list, exactly as it appears on the template.

  • 1Clear away all hair, debris, and used products from the station after each client before you disinfect
  • 2Always clean tools first; disinfectant only works on a clean surface, so wash off product and residue before immersing
  • 3Wash combs and brushes, then fully immerse them in a disinfectant such as Barbicide for the stated contact time
  • 4Disinfect clipper and trimmer blades before and after each use; use spray or foam if the blade does not detach
  • 5Use single-use disposables, such as razor blades and neck strips, once and then bin them, never reuse
  • 6Wipe down the chair, headrest, work surface, and any shared handles between clients
  • 7Change or launder gowns and towels between clients rather than reusing them
  • 8Sterilise any tools that pierce or could draw blood, ideally by autoclave, and never reuse single-use items
  • 9Restock fresh towels, clean tools, and disinfectant so the next client is ready to go
  • 10Do a full deep clean at the end of the day, including floors, basins, and bins, and log it

Good to know

Autoclaving (high-pressure steam at around 121C for 15 to 20 minutes) is the most effective sterilisation method for instruments, and tools that pierce the skin trigger local-authority registration for the premises and practitioner; chemical solutions like Barbicide disinfect surface tools but do not sterilise.
