SanPiN standards

A little theory before we get to the practical part. SanPiN 2.1.2.2631-10 provides detailed instructions on how and when to clean the premises. The ninth chapter is devoted to this for the most part.

As stated by SanPiN:

preventive disinfection is carried out in beauty salons, hairdressers and cosmetic rooms. Floors, walls, as well as furniture, equipment, linen, tools are subject to treatment;
wet daily cleaning. Conducted at least 2 times a day – once during the day and once at the end of the work shift;
combined products are used for the process, which combine both cleaning and disinfecting properties;
General cleaning is carried out at least once a week. At this time, a complete wet treatment of walls, floors, baseboards, doors, windows and equipment is carried out;
In hairdressing salons, cut hair is collected in a closing dustpan and then poured into plastic or paper bags. Hair is thrown away together with household waste.

While providing customer service:

Only clean linen is used. This includes towels, napkins, sheets. Reusable products can be replaced with disposable ones, which are disposed of after use;
If reusable linen is used, it is washed after the client. If there is a suspicion of the spread of infection, it is additionally disinfected;
During a pedicure, a foot cushion with a washable oilcloth surface is used – it is treated after the procedure with a rag in a disinfectant.solution. Instead, you can use disposable covers – they are not processed and are disposed of after the procedure.

Not Permitted:

the presence of rodents – rats, mice, as well as insects – cockroaches, ants, ticks and other arthropods. Moreover, there should not be such not only in the places where clients are located, but also in utility rooms;
reuse garbage bags. You won"t be able to save money on buying bags by shaking out waste from them into a trash container – after filling, the bag is tied and thrown away.

Design

Proper arrangement in accordance with design.The beauty salon’s protocol calls for systematic surface cleaning as well as documentation. We complete and keep two documents: a general cleaning log and a daily cleaning schedule. Further details about each:

Documentation is required for general cleaning, and the schedule is maintained in the journal titled "Journal-schedule of general cleaning." The journal’s format is set by SanPiN 2.1.3.1375-03.

The cover needs to say:

Full name of the organization;
Start date of keeping the log;
End date of keeping the log.
Actual address of the salon;
Full name and position of the person responsible for maintaining the schedule and monitoring the general cleaning. The person responsible is appointed by the manager by order.

The employee in charge of the disinfection regime signs each month’s schedule, and each page of the log is manually numbered.

The table consists of:

Serial number;
Planned date of the event;
Name and concentration of the disinfectant;
Actual date of the event. The actual date of the event may differ from the planned date, but the interval between treatments of the premises should not be more than 7 days;
Signature of the person who carried out the general cleaning.

A month is represented on each log sheet.

An example of a general cleaning log

Daily cleanings are scheduled separately and approved by the staff member in charge of upholding the disinfection protocol; they are not noted in the journal.

Daily cleaning

At least twice a day, daily cleaning is done, and it consists of:

wiping surfaces with a detergent and disinfectant. You can purchase a comprehensive product that combines both actions;
wiping mirrors;
washing the floor;
collecting garbage – cut hair, used consumables, empty jars.

The inventory needs to be kept apart.

separately for the main rooms and offices;
separately for utility rooms;
separately for the bathroom.

Every tool, including buckets, mopheads, and basins, needs to be identified, or signed. The room for which the inventory is used is indicated by a sticker or paint application of the signature. Here, the division ought to be made by:

surface – floor, walls, work surfaces;
room – offices, bathroom, corridors.

The Chistovye company sells pre-made stickers that have been created in compliance with SanPiN regulations.

Cleaning supplies for everyday use:

buckets. There should be at least 3 of them – for the main rooms, for the toilet and for utility rooms – storage rooms, storage areas for supplies;
napkins or rags. Similarly – you cannot wipe the reception desk, shelves in the storage room and the window sill in the toilet with one napkin;
mops according to the number of buckets.

Among the daily cleaning tasks are:

removing dust from window sills, racks, shelves, tables;
wiping furniture, equipment;
washing mirrors;
floor washing.

General cleaning

Every room, including the waiting area, utility rooms, masters’ offices, and common room, receives general cleaning at least once a week.

To execute, set up the cleaning supplies:

water containers – buckets and basins. Separate for utility and main rooms, and for the bathroom;
mops;
napkins or rags.

Salons select their own disinfectants and cleaners. The same brands of disinfectants that are used to clean instruments can be used on you.

Combination products are preferable as they serve both cleaning and disinfection purposes. One example of a combination product is "Estilodez" from the "Chistovye" company. has a safe composition, doesn’t need to be rinsed, and can be used in public. available in 1 and 5 liter capacities. Since it is diluted with water, it is a concentrate.

The well-known Alaminol can also be used, but it needs to be rinsed off.

The steps involved in performing a general cleaning:

Take out all small equipment, tools, cosmetics from the room;
Open access to the walls – where possible, move the furniture;
Gradually, starting from top to bottom — from the walls to the floor, distribute the disinfectant — wet a rag and go over all surfaces. To disinfect, the solution must be left for some time. The time depends on the manufacturer and concentration. The above Estilodez, for example, must be left for 15 minutes at a concentration of 0.4%;
If necessary, wash off the remains of the disinfectant with warm water. There are products that do not need to be washed off, so read the instructions for the product before use;
Complete the process by washing the floor;
Open the window to ventilate the room.

Following cleaning:

Rinse all used equipment under running water and disinfect;
Dry;
After complete drying, put it in a separate closet or special utility room.

Bathroom

The restroom follows a slightly different disinfection protocol than the rest of the salon. SanPiN beauty salon bathrooms are exempt from certain regulations, which makes scheduling and determining the cleaning stages much more difficult.

Thus, the frequency of bathroom cleaning is as follows:

It operates in free mode if SanPiN shows no indications of a particular kind of activity.

in the middle of the working day;
at the end of the shift;
As they become dirty.

Here, you have to increase the cabin’s tenancy and the frequency of bathroom visits. By the end of the shift, three people using the restroom will be sufficient to process the entire premises. It needs to be done more frequently—three to four times a day—if 100 customers pass through the interior each day.

Among the things cleaned in the restroom are:

Washing surfaces with des.remedy. This includes mirrors, cabinets, shells, tables;
floor washing;
washing the toilet seats inside and outside;
devastation of garbage baskets;
wiping mixers, partitions between cabins.

The schedule is kept indoors, and following each processing, the contractor signs it. The schedule has a table with the scheduled cleaning time and the signature of the person who completed it, in addition to details about the employee who prepared it, the date, and their signature.

A daily schedule that includes an hourly schedule is created for establishments like restaurants and cafes that see a high volume of patronage. You can draw up a weekly in the salon.

Date	Time	Full name and signature of the performer
1.01.2020	12:00
1.01.2020	19:00
2.01.2020	12:00
2.01.2020	19:00

The restroom is cleaned with special tools, such as buckets and basins, rags, and mops that must be labeled "for the bathroom."

Waste disinfection

Even if a beauty salon doesn’t offer medical services, it still has to disinfect some of the class B and C waste that is produced during business hours. A brief mention of this can be found in SanPiN.20, paragraph 9.

Mandatory Disposable waterproof napkins are not the only consumables that must be disinfected after coming into contact with human skin:

Disposable files, buffs;
Orange sticks;
Shift files from the bases;
Wipes for removing gel polish;
Cotton swabs and microbrushes for stopping bleeding from cuts;
Wipes and sheets for manicure and pedicure;
Gloves and masks for clients;
Shoe covers.

For such waste, a different bucket with a closing lid and markings ought to be available. Along with the disinfectant’s name and concentration, the marking reads "for disinfection of disposable wipes."

How to clean up trash

Insert a white or black garbage bag with several holes in the bottom into the marked bucket. It is prohibited to use red and yellow bags – they are intended for medical waste;
Pour in the working solution. It must be prepared according to the instructions for the disinfectant in the "waste disinfection" mode. If this is not in the instructions, then in the viral mode;
Throw all the above waste into this bucket during the day. Some of them float and need to be sunk. A regular bottle of water can help with this. Floating files and replaceable files on the surface are a violation of the disinfection regime, since according to SanPiN, successful treatment is considered only with complete immersion of the object in the solution;
At the end of the shift, lift the bag of waste and wait until the disinfectant solution drains through the holes in the bag;
Put the waste in another, whole bag, tie it up and dispose of it with household waste.

Items that don’t require disinfection:

Packaging from materials, products;
Your own disposable gloves and masks;
Other waste that was used during the working day, but did not come into contact with the client"s skin.

Such waste is disposed of as solid waste without first being treated; it is thrown into a different bin.

Effective cleaning of a beauty salon entails upholding stringent hygienic guidelines to guarantee a secure and inviting atmosphere for patrons. To stop the spread of germs and create a clean, professional environment, this involves routine tasks like disinfecting tools, surfaces, and workstations as well as deep cleaning floors, furniture, and equipment.

Quality check: checklist for the owner

The employee or owner of the beauty salon in charge of the disinfection regime must accept the work and inspect the quality of the work, regardless of who cleans the salon—a cleaning service, a cleaner, or employees on their own.

Inspection-related factors:

cobwebs on ceilings, in corners, behind furniture;
are waste bins emptied;
cleanliness of surfaces – cabinets, shelves, pedestals;
cleanliness of walls;
dust on office equipment – monitor, telephone, printer;
furniture – chairs, tables, armchairs;
doors – slopes, handles, glass;
switches and sockets;
floors, baseboards;
radiator grilles.

A sample checklist is available in the attached file for download and printing.

Checklists for general and daily cleaning inspection

Recommendation: Alternate the inspection parameters from time to time to prevent the situation where cleaning is done only in the areas that are under inspection.

Common mistakes

cleaning equipment is not marked. It may be indicated that this is a bucket for the floor, but it is not indicated for which room;
use of equipment not according to marking. A bucket for the walls is used for the floor, and a mop for the bathroom in the common room;
cleaning is carried out without special clothing – gloves, cap, apron, mask;
employees ignore safety precautions for using a disinfectant. If the instructions for a disinfectant say that you need to wear a respirator, then you need to wear one;
unsatisfactory quality of disinfection. Checked by taking a wash from surfaces;
the solution is not prepared correctly. The effectiveness of the product depends on the correct concentration, so the solution must be prepared strictly in accordance with the instructions.

Questions

A perennial debate in beauty salons is whether or not masters should take part in general and daily cleanings. Masters have the duty to maintain order and clean just their own work areas. A cleaner performs daily and general cleanings in the salon. Since cleaning the salon is outside the purview of their professional competence, it is unlawful to require masters to perform this task if it is not specified in their employment contract or job description. However, occasionally owners and masters can come to an agreement whereby the owner offers a minor pay raise or other benefits.

Cleaning firms can perform the cleaning in addition to salon staff. They are frequently called in to handle general cleaning so that regular staff members are not interrupted in their work. The area of the salon, the region, and pollution all affect service costs. In Moscow, the cost per square meter begins at 45 rubles.

Employees are shielded from contact with disinfectant solutions by wearing robes, disposable caps, rubber gloves, rubber aprons, and respiratory masks. The Ministry of Labor of Russia’s order No. 977, "On approval of standard standards for issuing special clothing," specifies the requirements for special clothing that cleaners of office and industrial premises must wear.

Upon what date is the premises cleaned?

Cleaning can be done every day in front of clients, but it shouldn’t interfere with work. To put it plainly, you cannot ask a client to get up in order to mop the floor during a manicure. After the working day is over, general cleaning is done. This is because guests may be allergic to certain ingredients in disinfectants.

Where should I wash my reusable sheets, towels, and napkins?

The washing of linens ought to be done centrally. Laundries offer basic or specialized laundry services. For instance, the "First Laundry" in Moscow collaborates with beauty parlors.

You can also set up your own mini-laundry in the salon, but this comes with a lot of challenges and extra expenses. You’ll need a dedicated space with adequate ventilation, a spot for ironing and fresh linens, and a worker to oversee the entire process. Although laundry services are cheap, a kilogram of laundry costs 40 rubles at "First Laundry."

Windows are cleaned as they become dirty, but twice a year is the minimum.

Inquiry: The salon is housed within a mall. Outside the salon, clients carry their cut hair. The salon and shopping center are being cleaned by a cleaning company whose staff members are offended. Is there a SanPiN-compliant mat at the salon’s exit that should be there?

Elena

Tell me, if I rent a space and pay for a chair in the salon, can the landlord make me clean the windows even though they have already received payment for creating a cozy workspace?

AlenaEditorial staff

Alena, hello!
The same disinfectants are used for washing floors.products for treating surfaces. The instructions for such funds should indicate that they are suitable for conducting general and current. For example, in the instructions for estilodeza it is written that the product is intended for disinfecting any surfaces – floor, walls, furniture, skirting boards, apparatuses, including within the framework of general and current. The concentration is also indicated in the instructions for Estilodez – for general cleaning, a bacterial regime is used, according to which the solution is diluted in a concentration of 0.4% with the exposure time 15 minutes or 0.2% with exposure time 30 minutes. The main thing is that the selected disinfectant meets the requirements:
• The presence of a security passport and a certificate of conformity;
• Certificate of state.registration – SGR of Rospotrebnadzor and instructions in Russian.

Elena

Hi, could you please advise me on the frequency of general cleaning and current cleaning in a pandemic-mode beauty salon per day? Are skin antiseptics included in the registration certificates for the recirculator and design products?

Editorial staff

Elena, good afternoon! According to Rospotrebnadzor’s recommendations regarding the work of salons and hairdressers during the pandemic, cleaning should be done twice a day for current cleaning and daily for general cleaning prior to opening. Furthermore, contact surfaces are air-brushed every two hours and disinfected after every client. Visit the link for more information. A registration certificate is required for the recirculator. For antiseptics and disinfectants, a certificate of compliance is adequate.

Evgenia

Hi there! In the event of a pandemic, beauty salons can refer to the Rospotrebnadzor website for recommendations. Before opening, a daily general cleaning with disinfectants should be done. In order to avoid misleading others, it is preferable to download these suggestions.
