Between clients, how should cleaned and disinfected manicure implements be stored?

• A. In a clean container until next use
• B. In an open tray
• C. In a dirty bucket
• D. Laying out on the tray

Answer: (A)

Between clients, cleaned and disinfected manicure implements should be stored in a clean container until next use. This keeps tools shielded from dust, moisture, and contact with the work surface, reducing the chance of recontamination and cross-contamination between clients. An open tray, a dirty bucket, or laying them out on the tray would expose the tools to contaminants and raise the risk of transferring germs to the next client.
