How should soiled towels be managed after use on a client?

Soiled towels must be removed and deposited in a suitable receptacle immediately after use on a client to maintain proper hygiene and prevent contamination. This practice is crucial in the esthetics field, as it helps to protect both the client and the practitioner from the spread of bacteria and infectious diseases.

Using a designated receptacle, such as a closed hamper or a lined trash can, ensures that the used towels are contained properly until they can be laundered. This aligns with sanitation protocols and health regulations set forth by the TDLR. Keeping the work area clean and organized is vital for a safe and professional environment, reflecting good practice standards in esthetics.
