Perform Basic Preventive and

Corrective Maintenance

The process of preserving a condition or situation or the state of being

preserve is termed as maintenance. Maintenance is carried out following
detection of an anomaly and aimed restoring normal operation. Preventive
maintenance is conducted to keep working and/or extend life of the
equipment. Corrective maintenance sometimes called “repair” is conducted to
keep equipment working again.

The activities ahead of you will refine

your understanding about performing the
basic preventive and corrective
maintenance. Readings and insights are
provided to nurture the existing
knowledge brought by the series of
activities starting from your first day of
reading this module. So keep going!
 Let’s Explore
After going through the process of sanitizing and sterilizing, you now have the knowledge to move to the
next level of understanding, what the illustration below tells about?
As a manicurist, you should give attention to the proper maintenance of nail care implements and equipment.
They should be properly cleaned and disinfected after servicing each client. The information listed below will
help you learn how to perform basic preventive and corrective maintenance, sanitize nail care equipment and
implements as well as your nail care station.

Let’s Elaborate
How can tools and equipment be kept safe, clean and functional?

It is vital to sterilize metal implements, sanitize wooden tools, and disinfect hand and foot spa machines
as well as environmental surfaces before and after each use. Contaminated tools can cause bacterial and
fungal infections that are unsightly, painful and sometimes, fatal. There are several methods of cleaning
and sterilization. Do a cursory cleaning after each nail care service and deep-clean monthly to keep tools
safe and useful all the time.
 Let’s Elaborate
1. Sterilize metal implements after each use in a hospital-grade disinfectant that is bactericidal, virucidal, and
fungicidal. This disinfectant can be found in beauty supply stores. Immerse the tools in the disinfectant for 10
minutes.

2. Disinfect foot basins after each use with a bleach solution. Make a 1 is to 10 solution by mixing one part bleach
with 10 parts water. Using gloves, rinse the basin with the solution to disinfect. If necessary, scrub with a
detergent to remove any dirt or debris.

3. Use a boiling method of sterilization once a month to disinfect all metal implements. Designate one pot for
sterilization to prevent cross-contamination with food. Submerge the tools in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain
the tools and allow them to dry.

4. Store sterilized metal implements in an airtight, zipper-sealed bag to keep them from being exposed to dirt and
bacteria. Be sure tools are completely dry before storing them. If waiting more than a couple of weeks before the
next nail care service, sterilize the tools again before use.

5. Inspect tools and equipment regularly to identify defective ones for repair, replacement or condemnation.
 Let’s Elaborate
Keeping the Workplace Clean and Safe
1. All beauty salons must be well-lighted and well-ventilated and must be in good sanitary
condition.
2. The salon premises must be free from rodents, vermin, flies or other similar insects.
3. All salon establishments must be provided with continuous running hot and cold water.
4. The curtains and floor coverings in the salon must be washable and kept clean.

and deposited in a closed container. Get rid of them from the salon premises at frequent
intervals.
6. The rest rooms must be well-sanitized and be provided with individual towels.
7. Each beautician must wear a washable uniform while working on clients.
8. Each client must be provided with a freshly laundered towel.

bin liner, durable enough to resist tearing.
