Why is it important to wash tools before disinfecting?

To ensure they are dry
To eliminate dirt and debris
To prevent rusting

The correct answer is: To eliminate dirt and debris

Washing tools before disinfecting is essential to eliminate dirt and debris. When tools are used in barbering services, they inevitably come into contact with hair, skin, products, and other contaminants. If these materials are not properly removed, disinfectants may not effectively work, as they are less effective in the presence of organic matter. By thoroughly washing the tools first, you ensure that the surface is clean, allowing the disinfectant to penetrate and kill any remaining bacteria or viruses effectively. This initial step is crucial in maintaining hygiene standards and preventing the spread of infections in a barbershop setting. Proper cleaning is a foundational practice in infection control and safety, which is critical in any personal care environment.
