The pedicure tubs are lined (and cleaned between uses) Feet aren't exactly the most sanitary things. Stringent cleaning procedures ought to be in place so that tubs are completely sanitary when a new guest dips their feet. A lining is a must, but salons that go the extra mile get a gold star. "The pedicure tubs should be scrubbed with antibacterial soap, thoroughly rinsed with water, and soaked with disinfectant and water for at least 10 minutes," says Boyce. She adds that many nails salons have jetted tubs which may seem like a nice perk but ultimately, they can be a nightmare to properly disinfect. Avoid them if you can.
