Acetone can no longer be used as ___________ in salons

Acetone can no longer be used as a disinfectant in salons due to its aggressive chemical properties and the potential harm it can cause to both skin and surfaces when used in that manner. While acetone is effective at dissolving substances, its properties make it unsuitable for disinfecting purposes in a salon environment.

Disinfectants are required to effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi without causing damage or irritation. Many states, including New Jersey, emphasize using products that meet regulatory safety standards for disinfection. There are safer, effective disinfectants available that are specifically formulated for salon use, ensuring the health and safety of clients and practitioners alike.

Other options, such as acidifier, solvent, and moisturizer, do not align with the regulatory challenges or health risks associated with acetone's use, but they are not relevant to this specific question regarding its role as a disinfectant.
