Well, I think I'm wrong and you're right. We used what I was told was 'quats'. I think you're right. 'Quat' is quaternary disinfectant so if I'm not mistaken then any disinfectant that is a 4 part disinfectant considered 'quats'. I think this is correct but I just looked into it for a minute.

However it doesn't change the fact that none of the things that we use in the salon as disinfectants should be used on clients. I am surprised that no one has ever had a skin reaction from their pedicures. Everyone have a good weekend!!! Nicole Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry From: "Michele ."

I don' tthink either should be used for soaking feet.

But I kept searching and I have finally found a new home and let me say I LOVE IT. Great place, great gals, great location, very near my house and even closer to my girls school. Down side is it's like starting all over again, because I have no clients.....BUT I am very optimistic and have learned that I have the patience for those many hours of "sit" time trying to find new clients. The other girls in the shop have been doing nails for 20 years here and are all wonderful...Oh and I keep getting told I am a Godsend because two of the girls are going on vacation and GUESS WHO GETS THERE CLIENTS while they are away???? Muah! So I will at least get to crack open that acrylic! lol.. okay I have a question that has been on my mind since having a break room discussion with 2 of the other girls, and it's more because I want to know over anything else....Both girls told me they use quats in their pedicure bowls (no spa chairs in the shop) as a foot soak. They said this is what they were taught when they went to school. I went to school five years ago versus their twenty so I don't know. I even looked around on States web page and can't find anything...maybe I didn't look hard enough? When they told me this I said really??? They said oh yeah, will kill any and all bacteria. And I said in school we were made to use gloves when we cleaned our instruments in it, so they said they only have one client that says that it dries out her feet. so I am coming to the best place i can for answers because I know you all would know a lot more then I ever could! Thanks in advance! Dawn Can love help you live longer?
