What is prohibited in facility bathrooms?

In Oregon cosmetology facilities, the use of bar soap or a common towel in bathrooms is prohibited to ensure health and safety standards. This regulation is in place to prevent the spread of bacteria and infectious diseases. Bar soap can harbor germs, making it less hygienic than liquid soap, which is often provided in dispensers. Similarly, common towels can create a risk of cross-contamination, as multiple individuals using the same towel can transfer pathogens.

By requiring individual disposable towels or air hand dryers, the rules promote a cleaner and safer environment for both clients and practitioners. This approach aligns with best practices in maintaining sanitation in beauty and personal care facilities. The prohibition of bar soap or common towels is a crucial measure in ensuring the overall hygiene policy is effectively upheld within the establishment.
