This SIM is about
Commercial Cooking
which leads you to
National
Certificate Level II (NC
II).
This SIM is about Nail Care Services that helps learners to cope up
with the lessons that is least mastered skill.

Overview of the lesson:

After knowing the tools and equipment in nail

care services, in this lesson, you learn how to identify
the standard procedures in cleaning nail care tools
and differentiate sterilization from sanitation. Also,
you will be able to demonstrate/show the proper
cleaning of nail care tools according to standard
procedures and appreciate the importance of
performing the correct standard procedures in
cleaning nail care tools.

I'm Ma'am Fe, your TLE teacher, and it's an honor and a privilege to be guiding
you through the preventive and corrective maintenance of nail care tools and
equipment.

Content Standard:
The learner demonstrates understanding in maintaining tools and
equipment in Nail Care.

Performance Standard:
The learner independently maintains tools and equipment in Nail Care
Servicing.

Most Essential Learning Competency

LO 2. Perform basic preventive and corrective maintenance

Target Objectives: 1.1 Clean tools according to standard procedures

1.2 Inspected defective tools and equipment

Remember that these standards and objectives are not mere checkboxes to
be ticked off but guiding lights to shape our preventive and corrective
maintenance. With a clear path ahead, let's embark on this adventure of
knowledge. Together, we'll make each lesson a stepping stone towards mastering
the world of Nail Care tools and equipment maintenance.

It is vital to sterilize metal implements, sanitize wooden tools,

disinfect hand and foot spa machines as well as environmental
surfaces before and after each use. Contaminated tools can cause
bacterial and fungal infections that are unsightly, painful, and
sometimes, fatal.

Safekeeping and Storage of Tools and Implements

There are several methods of cleaning and sterilization. Do a cursory cleaning

after each nail care service and deep-clean monthly to keep tools safe and useful all the
time.
1. Sterilize metal implements after each use in a hospital-grade disinfectant that is
bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal. This disinfectant can be found in beauty
supply stores. Immerse the tools in the disinfectant for 10 minutes.

2. Disinfect foot basins after each use with a bleach solution. Make a 1-to-10
solution by mixing one part bleach with 10 parts water. Using gloves, rinse the
basin with the solution to disinfect. If necessary, scrub with a detergent to
remove any dirt or debris.
3. Use a boiling method of sterilization once a month to disinfect all metal
implements. Designate one pot for sterilization to prevent cross-contamination
with food. Submerge the tools in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain the tools
and allow them to dry.

4. Store sterilized metal implements in an airtight, zipper-sealed bag to keep them

from being exposed to dirt and bacteria. Be sure tools are completely dry before storing
them. If waiting more than a couple of weeks before the next nail care service,
sterilize the tools again before use.

5. Inspect tools and equipment regularly to identify defective ones for repair,
replacement or condemnation.

Keeping the Workplace Clean and Safe

5
 1. All beauty salons must be well-lighted and well-ventilated and must be in good
sanitary condition.
2. The salon premises must be free from rodents, vermin, flies or other similar
insects.
3. All salon establishments must be provided with continuous running hot and cold
water.

4. The curtains and floor coverings in the salon must be washable and kept clean.

5. All hair, used cotton or other waste materials must be removed from the floor
immediately, and deposited in a closed container. Get rid of them from the salon
premises at frequent intervals.
6. The rest rooms must be well-sanitized and be provided with individual towels.

7. Each beautician must wear a washable uniform while working on clients.

8. Each client must be provided with a freshly laundered towel.

9. All waste materials should be disposed of in an enclosed waste bin fitted with
polythene bin liner, durable enough to resist tearing.

Do the following measures after every manicure service

1. Tools which are made of plastic should be kept clean and sanitized properly in
preparation for the next patron.
2. Empty bottles and containers are discarded in a covered trash bin.
3. Used treatment products and other chemicals are stored, arranged and
propery labelled in the cabinet.
4. Finger bowls must be sanitized before use of every client.
5. The hand and foot spa machines must be flushed with a solution of about 5%
bleach and circulate the liquid through the system for at least 10 minutes.
6. Leave the solution in the hand and foot spa machines overnight or at least 5-
10 hours before draining the machines so that they are thoroughly
sanitized.
6. Table tops and door handles are wiped with disinfectant and the floor should
be mopped with disinfectant as well.
7. Metal tools and instruments must be sterilized following proper sterilization
techniques. After the process, store in a dry cabinet until needed.
9. Tools/Implements which are made of porous materials such as nail files,
buffers, nail brushes and orangewood sticks can harbor bacteria easily.
Since they are wood products which cannot be sterilized, these tools should
not be reused.

10. Waste materials should be disposed properly in an enclosed waste bin fitted
with polythene bag. The bin should be sanitized with disinfectant regularly in
a well ventilated area. Remember to wear protective gloves while doing this.

authority.
