How should an implement be placed in disinfectant for proper sanitation?

For proper sanitation, implements should be fully submerged in the disinfectant solution. This is crucial because full submersion ensures that all surfaces of the implement are in contact with the disinfectant, allowing it to effectively kill pathogens and other contaminants. Proper disinfection requires the product to be able to penetrate every part of the implement, which would not be achieved if any portion remains above the solution's surface.

The need for thorough disinfection is fundamental in the field of cosmetology, where tools can come into contact with skin and hair, potentially spreading infections. Many disinfectants have specific contact times to ensure efficacy, and fully submerging the implement allows for the disinfectant to work effectively over the required duration.

Other methods such as partial submersion or simply dipping briefly would not provide adequate exposure to the disinfectant. This could lead to insufficient sanitation of the tool, increasing the risk of cross-contamination during services. Therefore, proper sanitation practices mandate that implements are completely submerged in the disinfectant solution for the appropriate time to ensure they are properly cleaned and sanitized before the next use.
