Why It's Important to Disinfect Before & After Every Groom

In a professional grooming salon, hygiene isn’t optional — it’s a responsibility.

Using a veterinary-grade disinfectant like F10 on our equipment, tables, floors, walls, drying areas, and tools before and after every dog protects every pet that walks through our doors.

Here’s why it matters:

Prevents Cross-Contamination

Dogs can carry bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites without showing symptoms. If tools or surfaces aren’t properly disinfected between dogs, infections like ringworm, kennel cough, staph infections, or mites can spread easily.

Protects Vulnerable Dogs

Puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with weaker immune systems are more at risk. Proper disinfection keeps them safe.

Stops Hidden Germs

Hair, dander, saliva, and microscopic skin particles remain on blades, scissors, brushes, combs, tables, and even walls. Cleaning at the end of the day isn’t enough — germs transfer from one dog to the next during the day.

Blades & Tools Touch Skin Directly

Clippers and scissors create tiny micro-abrasions in the skin. If tools aren’t disinfected between dogs, bacteria can enter those small openings and cause infections.

Professional Standards = Safe Standards

Disinfecting before and after every groom ensures:

• A sterile workspace

• A healthy environment

• Peace of mind for pet parents

• The highest level of care for every dog

It’s not about appearance — it’s about health, safety, and professionalism.

Every dog deserves a clean, safe start. Every single time.
