Contaminated tools can cause bacterial and fungal
infections that are unsightly, painful and sometimes,
fatal. There are several methods of cleaning and
sterilization.
1. Sterilize metal implements after each use in a hospital-
grade disinfectant that is bactericidal, virucidal, and
fungicidal. Immerse the tools in the disinfectant for 10
minutes.
2. Disinfect foot basins after each use with a bleach
solution. Make a 1-to-10 solution by mixing one part
bleach with 10 parts water. Using gloves, rinse the basin
with the solution to disinfect.
3. Use a boiling method of sterilization once a month to
disinfect all metal implements. Designate one pot for
sterilization to prevent cross-contamination with food.
Submerge the tools in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain
the tools and allow them to dry.
4. Store sterilized metal implements in an airtight,
zipper-sealed bag to keep them from being exposed to
dirt and bacteria. Be sure tools are completely dry before
storing them.
5. Inspect tools and equipment regularly to identify
defective ones for repair, replacement or condemnation.
