New and disinfected tools must be stored how?

Storing new and disinfected tools separately from all other tools is essential for maintaining a hygienic environment in hair care practices. This practice helps prevent cross-contamination, ensuring that tools that are clean and safe for use do not come into contact with any soiled or used tools. By keeping them separate, it reinforces the protocol for hygiene and sanitation that is critical in preventing the spread of bacteria or other pathogens, which is particularly important in any practice involving hair care and grooming.

In the context of hygiene best practices, it's vital that tools that have been disinfected remain uncontaminated until their next use. This separation ensures that practitioners can confidently use these tools without the risk of exposing clients to any potential contaminants.
