Which method is effective in preventing cross-contamination during treatments?

Using disposable tools is highly effective in preventing cross-contamination during treatments. Disposable tools are designed for single-use and are discarded immediately after their use on a client, minimizing the risk of transferring pathogens or bacteria from one person to another. This is particularly important in environments like manicure and pedicure treatments where the skin can be broken or where there might be contact with bodily fluids.

In contrast, shared tools can harbor bacteria and viruses, exposing clients to infections. Washing tools with soap alone is not sufficient to eliminate all pathogens, as some may remain even after cleaning. Using the same gloves for multiple clients also increases the risk of cross-contamination, as pathogens can easily be transferred from one client to another. Thus, the use of disposable tools creates a safer environment, aligns with hygiene best practices, and significantly reduces the risk of infection in nail care practices.
