What must be done to all tools after each client?

All tools must be cleaned and disinfected after each client to maintain a safe and hygienic environment. This practice is crucial in preventing the spread of infections and ensuring the health of both clients and barbers. Cleaning removes debris, hair, and other contaminants, while disinfection involves using appropriate solutions to eliminate pathogens on the surfaces of the tools. This is a standard practice in the cosmetology and barbering industry to adhere to health regulations and maintain professional standards.

In contrast, sharpening and polishing tools, while important for performance, should not be a routine procedure after every client visit. Storing tools after each use does not address hygiene concerns, and replacing tools unnecessarily can lead to increased costs and waste. Thus, cleaning and disinfecting is the essential step required after servicing each client.
