Beyond Clean: How Polish & Posh Sets a Top Standard for Tool Sterilization

At Polish & Posh, your safety is our highest priority—and we mean that down to the tiniest detail. While many salons in Toronto follow basic sanitation protocols, we take cleanliness to the next level with a multi-step tool sterilization process inspired by top European standards.

Here’s what makes us different:

1. Thorough Hand and Chemical Sanitization: After each service, our tools are meticulously scrubbed by hand to remove any visible residue. Then, they’re immersed in a high-level disinfectant solution that eliminates bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

   
   

2. European Heat Sterilization (Not Just Disinfection!): Once cleaned and sanitized, tools are placed into a professional-grade European heat sterilizer. This medical-grade process uses high temperatures to eliminate any remaining microorganisms—offering a level of protection rarely seen in Toronto salons.

3. Sealed and Sterile—Until You’re Seated: After sterilization, every set of tools is sealed in its own individual pouch, ensuring they remain completely sterile until opened in front of you at your appointment. This guarantees you are the first and only person to come into contact with them.

   
   

4. Single-Use Items Wherever Possible: For added safety and hygiene, we use single-use items whenever we can—such as nail files, buffers, and certain foot care tools. These are disposed of immediately after each service, ensuring nothing is ever reused between clients.

   
   

5. Why This Matters: Disinfection is standard. Sterilization, sealed packaging, and single-use tools are what set us apart. Our process mirrors medical-grade standards because we believe beauty should never come at the cost of safety.
