Clients may not read a dilution chart. They do notice a sealed pouch opened at the table, a blue jar that looks maintained, and gloves that do not tear halfway through a pedicure. This is the sanitation restock we actually buy.
Nothing here replaces correct procedure. Barbicide is a disinfectant, not a cleaner and not a sterilant — debris still comes off first, contact time still matters, and stronger mix is not better. Pouches only help after an autoclave cycle if they are sized for the implement and not overpacked. Gloves are the daily barrier that also keeps polish and dye off the visual field. We list three products because those are the ones in weekly rotation, not because sanitation is a three-step gimmick.

The concentrate we expect to see mixed correctly: 2 oz per 32 oz water, changed on schedule. EPA-registered, anti-rust, familiar to staff and clients. Not a substitute for cleaning or sterilization.
3.9 × 7.9 in self-seal pouches with a steam indicator. Sized for individual nippers and pushers. Open them at the chair; do not overpack.
4-mil black nitrile that lasts a full service. Hides stain, grips a bottle cap, powder-free so it does not fight primer. Order sizes for every tech.
