I think the inspectors that inspect salons wouldn't go along with using cs as a 
disinfectant.

  I can't give you any quantitative data on this, but can give you my
  opinion...

  If you wish to use colloidal silver for disinfecting things, then you
  should make it yourself, as it would be cost prohibitive to buy it for
  this purpose.  Perhaps the water disinfecting silver sold in Mexico
  would be affordable (can't remember the name).

  Also, I think I would have to add some hydrogen peroxide to the solution
  to assist in the action of the CS and to dissolve biofilm and gunk so
  the CS could get to it.  The solution would have to be changed
  regularly.

  I'm not sure how you could guarantee this method without extensive
  testing.
