The manicure table should be prepared with what type of disinfectant?

  1. Alcohol-based

  2. EPA registered disinfectant

  3. Soap and water

  4. Bleach solution

The correct answer is: EPA registered disinfectant

The correct disinfectant to use on a manicure table is an EPA registered disinfectant. This type of disinfectant is specifically made for killing germs and bacteria, including those that can spread nail fungus. Option A, alcohol-based disinfectants, may not be strong enough to kill all types of germs and may not be registered with the EPA. Option C, soap and water, is not sufficient for disinfecting as it does not fully kill all bacteria and germs. Finally, option D, bleach solution, is not recommended as it can be harsh on the skin and may not be intended for use on manicure tables and equipment.
