Could this be the answer to wax cross contamination if you're not a PHD fan?

Just found this on the internet.

At £125 its expensive but may be the answer to all our questions and worries!

Cheaper to just not double dip. Spatula's are less than 1p each. Good idea though. xx

I know but its sooooooooooo hard to not double dip lol!!!

I have open and close my bin every two secs!

And every secound counts as it takes me 10 minutes to do a half leg with using one spatula and 15 using one per dip! I timed it when I was bored!!

So I think this could be the solution for me to do my speed waxing etc using the one spatula.

Tie a bin liner on to your trolley for each client and da da no more bin opening just drop it in!

Its a good but very expensive and wasteful idea.I would sooner be throwing away wooden spatulas than plastic liners,and if you do not use most of your wax you have filtered out of the main pot it has to be thrown away.

i read on here the other day (can't remember the thread) that someone scoops out the required amount of wax onto a disposable plate, they apply the wax straight from the plate to the area and then throw away the plate...so no double dipping into the wax pot.

Hi,
I read all your comments yesterday and thought how confused and annoying the health issue is with waxing. I had a great chat with a friend of mine who trains consultants, doctors, nurses etc on hygeine with regards especially to MRSA and C-Deficile. This was her advice, Wash ahnds first then wash the area about to be treated with antibacterial wash. Then spray/wipe over a sanitising solution, surgical spirit or alcohol based sanitiser, leave to dry naturally, don't pat dry. This will make it 98% sanitised. MRSA and C-Deficile cannot be killed by any conventional products. She said the areas that swobs are taken when checking for these diseases are armpits and groin. So for those of you that double dip maybe it's advisable to rethink your technique!
She said that once the area is sanitised it is advisable not to double dip (especially with sugaring, as it is perfect for bacterial growth.) She said it was less likely that bacteria would grow in wax, but care should be taken. We came up with a solution: if you have two wax pots and pour wax that you will use for the next client into a clean, sterilized bucket, any remainder would be thrown away after each client. It would then mean you can happily double dip.
As there are more and more salons/nail bars starting up you will start to find that local Authorities are becoming more aware of the proceedures and hygeine standards used by therapists. I have found an interesting one on my Local Authority website. Please be aware that for your own reputation it's always better to keep clean.
Here endeth my lesson!! xx:lol:

I knew a woman here in the US who used a small manicurist's warmer with disposable liners. It was the sort of thing that a manicurist would put lotion or oil into to soak the fingertips. This seemed to be a great option for facial waxing, but not so much for body waxing, as the reservoir was so small only the tip of the spatula could be dipped. It would take forever to wax someone's legs or bikini applying just a tiny bit of wax at a time!!

I think this wax pot is far more professional than a paper plate or scooping out wax in a bowl!

well i do use paper plates, and i see what you are saying. Although the small paper plates are 500 for one us dollar($1) not so bad when ya look at it that way. Also i am able to keep my wax with me at arms length without EVER moving my trolly!! I also cut the plates into quarters for smaller waxing jobs.
This is how we were tought at The Aveda Institute.
