What should be done with tools after they have been cleaned but before being disinfected?

Letting tools air dry after they have been cleaned but before disinfection is a crucial step in the hygiene and safety protocol for eyelash extension practices. Air drying ensures that any residual moisture is evaporated. This is important because excess water can dilute the disinfectant solution, making it less effective when applied. Additionally, air drying helps prevent the growth of bacteria and other pathogens that can flourish in damp environments.

Proper air drying allows for optimal preparation of the tools before they are subjected to the disinfection process, ensuring that the tools are not only clean but also well-prepared for the subsequent step in sanitation. This improves the overall safety and hygiene of the eyelash extension procedure.
