Which of the following is required for proper hand washing in a salon environment?

  1. Alcohol-based hand rub

  2. Germicidal soap

  3. Hand sanitizer

  4. Wet, lather, scrub, rinse, dry

The correct answer is: Alcohol-based hand rub

Proper hand washing in a salon environment requires the use of an alcohol-based hand rub. While germicidal soap and hand sanitizer may also effectively kill germs, they are not specifically designed for hand washing and may not be suitable for frequent use. Wet, lather, scrub, rinse, dry is the correct technique for hand washing, but it is incomplete without the use of an alcohol-based hand rub.
