What should be done with towels after they have been used?

After towels have been used, they should be deposited in a closed receptacle. This practice is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of bacteria and infections in a cosmetology setting. Using a closed receptacle ensures that soiled towels are contained and not left out in the open, which could pose health risks to both clients and practitioners.

Proper disposal methods, such as using a designated closed container, help in managing waste effectively and comply with health and safety regulations. This step is crucial in ensuring a clean and sanitary environment, as used towels may harbor pathogens and should not be reused immediately or stored loosely, which increases the risk of contamination.
