How should pedicure liners be replaced?

• A. After each client.
• B. Once a week.
• C. When they start to look dirty.
• D. Monthly.

Answer: (A)

Replacing pedicure liners after each client is essential for infection control because liners provide a one-use barrier between the client's skin and the basin. Even if the water and basin look clean, microbes can remain on surfaces, and a new liner eliminates the risk of cross-contamination from the previous client. This practice aligns with standard sanitation guidelines in salon services and keeps each treatment hygienic.

Choosing to replace liners weekly or monthly would allow cross‑contamination to occur across multiple clients, and waiting until liners look dirty isn’t reliable since contamination isn’t always visible. Liners are designed for single use and should be discarded after every client.
