Some massage therapists have very little time scheduled between clients and may find it difficulty to meet safe standards in hand washing. The general rule of thumb is at least 30 seconds, if not a full minute, of brisk hand washing with antibacterial or antimicrobial soap and warm water. Alcohol based hand sanitizers are appropriate for use at the end of a session followed by hand washing with soap and water as soon as possible.
Cleaning the Massage Room
A leather or vinyl massage table can be wiped down with disinfectant spray or wipes. There are quite a few plant-based cleaners that meet anti-bacterial guidelines and are labeled as hospital grade.
Massage Tools and Accessories
Massage tools and accessories should be thoroughly cleaned after every use. Tools made of cloth and porous materials should be protected during use – such as plastic barriers for foot and hand warmers. Blankets and multiple use items should be washed regularly according to manufacturers directions.
