When preparing to use your tools, soak them in a strong solution of cool water and wintergreen rubbing alcohol.
Keep them in this solution the whole time you are using them.
The tool most likely to spread bacteria or a fungus is the callus rasp, as the dead skin it removes can
become trapped in its interior. Remedy this by banging it sharply against the edge or side of a sink. In my clinic
this is known as "Banging the Rasp." I even have a little sign posted above the sink reminding everyone to "Bang the
Rasp." Bang the flat sides AND the edges of the rasp to get it really clean.
The floor of your clinic needs to be swept and then mopped with any type of germicidal cleanser after each
day of use. Germicidal cleanser can be purchaced at dollar stores.
