What should you do with items like cotton, emery boards, and orange wood sticks?

Disinfect them
Reuse them
Sterilize them
Throw them out

The correct answer is: Disinfect them

Cotton, emery boards, and orange wood sticks are items that come into contact with your skin and may carry bacteria or microorganisms. Therefore, it is important to disinfect them before reusing them. Sterilizing these items is not necessary as they are not medical equipment that requires a high level of sanitization. Throwing them out after each use may be wasteful and not environmentally friendly. By disinfecting them, you are ensuring that they are clean and safe to reuse without contributing to unnecessary waste.
