Where should you dispose of soiled linens in a salon?

Soiled linens should be disposed of in a covered hamper to ensure proper sanitation and hygiene within the salon environment. A covered hamper helps to contain any contaminants, odors, and the spread of bacteria, creating a more sanitary space for both clients and staff. Additionally, using a covered container aligns with industry standards and regulations regarding infection control, ensuring that potentially infectious materials are handled appropriately. This practice not only promotes cleanliness but also maintains a professional atmosphere in the salon, as it prevents soiled items from being visible or coming into contact with clean surfaces or products.

Other disposal options, such as placing soiled linens in an open hamper or in a trash can, could lead to contamination risks and do not provide the necessary hygiene controls. Using a countertop for disposal is inappropriate as it can lead to cross-contamination and does not adhere to best practices for cleanliness in a salon setting.
