Barbicide Certification Course Study
Guide Questions Fully Solved.
Reason #1: It's the Law - Answer Infection control rules/laws vary from state to state and it is important
to know yours. Visit your state board website to ensure you know the most current rules.
The average cost of a citation in this industry is $100.00.
Correspond with your state board to clarify any rules that are unclear or inconsistent. Once a citation has
been written, it is too late.
Reason #2: Real-Time Public Health Risks - Answer Our mobile society makes transmission of diseases
much more rapid and potentially deadly as seen with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Influenza remains an annual threat, killing 50,000 Americans on average annually.
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (superbugs) such as MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)
spread very easily in the salon, barber shop and spa environments. They are very difficult to treat and
can be deadly.
While COVID-19 is a viral pathogen, it is anticipated that our next pandemic will be a fungal threat.
Professional grade disinfectants like BARBICIDE® used in the beauty industry offer an additional fungal
efficacy that are not found in most standard disinfectants.
Reason #3: Protecting Your Business - Answer Just because a bug or poor infection control procedures
don't kill someone, doesn't mean they won't kill your business.
Social media and review forums (Yelp), will spread the word... good or bad, about your business in
seconds!
Business Killers:
Folliculitis
Ringworm
Dirty workplace
Lack of infection control procedures
, Reason #4: High Risk Clients - Answer Many clients are at very high risk of infection due to medical
conditions, which you cannot see and they often fail to discuss with you. Infection control is the key to
helping these clients stay healthy.
Examples of clients at high risk of infection:
Diabetic: Poor healing is common in these clients and 72% of them are unaware they have the disease
for over 5 years.
Mastectomy/Lumpectomy: These clients are at high risk of a debilitating condition (lymphedema) if
infected in the hand.
Immunosuppressive Medications: Infection risk increased due to medications for things like asthma,
rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia which suppress the immune system.
clean vs sanitize - Answer The terms "sanitize" and "clean" mean virtually the same thing. In an effort
to streamline the terms and clarify what is expected, states and textbooks are removing the term
"sanitize" and replacing it with "clean". Sanitized is NOT disinfected! you must clean before disenfecting.
Step #1: Clean or Sanitize - Answer Cleaning is the first step in infection control and prepares a NON-
POROUS item for disinfection.
Cleaning is the removal of visible or surface debris from an object or surface - no pathogens (germs) are
destroyed, simply removed.
Porous items cannot be disinfected, but can be cleaned!
Examples of cleaning:
Washing with warm, soapy water.
Using a chemical cleaner (Ship-Shape) to remove organic material such as hair and product residue.
Washing hands
Laundering towels, porous capes and linens
Step #2: Disinfection - Answer Disinfection requires that the item or surface has been cleaned to allow
for chemical to properly work on all surfaces.
Disinfection requires the use of a chemical disinfectant like BARBICIDE® approved in your state.
When done properly, disinfection is effective against most pathogens of risk in the salon, spa or
barbershop.
Disinfection is for NON-POROUS implements and surfaces only, porous (single use) items must be
discarded or laundered after use.
