What should be done with wooden spatulas after use in waxing?

After performing waxing procedures, the appropriate practice for managing wooden spatulas is to dispose of them after each area waxed. This ensures that there is no cross-contamination between different clients or areas of the body, which is critical for maintaining hygiene and preventing infections. Waxing involves the removal of hair and can also result in skin irritation or minor abrasions, making the cleanliness of tools especially important.

Using wooden spatulas that have been contaminated can transfer bacteria or other pathogens to the skin, resulting in potential health risks. Therefore, single-use disposal practices are the industry standard in professional waxing services, providing a safe and sanitary environment for clients. This practice not only adheres to regulations regarding infection control but also promotes trust and reassurance in the services being provided.

Other options, such as cleaning and reusing, storing in a sterilized container, or burning, do not align with the best practices of hygiene for the use of wooden spatulas in waxing.
