Essential Antiseptics for Pedicure Professionals
In professional foot care, hygiene plays an essential role—not only to protect clients but also to ensure the safety of the specialist. Antiseptic products are indispensable tools in the daily routine of every pedicure expert. But which antiseptics are truly necessary? Which products should always be at hand? And how should they be used correctly to be both effective and gentle on the skin? MONLIS Schule, the leading academy for manicure and pedicure in Munich, provides a detailed overview.
Antiseptics are special agents that reduce germs. They act against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, significantly minimizing the risk of infection during foot care treatments. Since working on the feet often involves contact with skin, nails, and even irritated or damaged areas, it is especially important to implement a comprehensive hygiene concept where antiseptics play a key role.
One of the most important products is hand disinfectant. It must be used before and after every treatment—by both the specialist and the client. This ensures that no pathogens are transferred through hands or surfaces during the procedure. At MONLIS Schule, students receive thorough training on how to use different disinfectants, including exposure times and skin compatibility.
Surface disinfectants are also an absolute must. The workspace must be thoroughly disinfected before and after each session—including tables, tools, UV lamps, footrests, and any other surfaces that come into contact with the client. Ideally, fast-acting, alcohol-free disinfectants should be used, which are effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens and gentle on materials.
Another indispensable product is instrument disinfectant. After each use, tools such as nippers, drills, pushers, or nail files must first be cleaned mechanically and then immersed in a disinfectant solution. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s recommended concentration and exposure time precisely. At MONLIS Schule, students learn the complete disinfection cycle—from pre-cleaning to disinfection and sterilization.
Equally important is skin antiseptic, applied before starting work on the client’s feet. It prepares the skin for treatment, prevents the spread of microbes, and lowers the risk of infection. This step is essential, especially when using e-files or treating minor cuts or irritations. Gentle products that absorb quickly and leave no residue are preferred.
At MONLIS Schule, proper storage and handling of antiseptics is also emphasized. Many products lose their effectiveness when stored incorrectly or used past their expiration date. It is essential to pay attention to shelf life, store products sealed and in a cool place, and regularly check their condition. Proper labeling of bottles and containers is also part of the professional hygiene standards taught at the school.
However, hygiene isn’t only about product use—it also depends on professional hygiene behavior. Frequent glove changes, avoiding facial contact, and proper use of disposable materials like files or sanding caps are all part of a professional pedicure. At MONLIS Schule, this conscious approach to hygiene is deeply integrated into training. Students not only learn the theory but also apply it directly in practical sessions under the guidance of experienced instructors.
Today, when clients are more aware of hygiene and safety than ever, responsible use of antiseptics is a clear mark of quality. A clean, well-organized workspace and perfectly sanitized instruments build trust and make clients feel safe and comfortable. Those who follow strict hygiene rules stand out from the competition and foster long-term client relationships.
