Wipes & Gel

Could anyone please recommend good anti-bacterial wipes and gel to be used before and after working on client's feet - could you also let me know supplier? Thanks in anticipation. Regards Janice

I know your frustration, Boots no longer sell their antiseptic disinfectant foot wipes, which is a great shame. I now use Skintruth Pedi Revitalising spray which cleans the feet and then I just wipes the feet with couch roll (http://www.salon-services.com/skintruth-pedi-revitalising-spray/). I'd prefer to have the wipes but hey ho!

the only anti-bacterial ones I have found for direct use ion skin is Sainsbury's toddler hand and face wipes called Little Ones. Would also welcome other recommendations or ideas. Cheers, Kerry

I started using everyday wet wipes but I add a couple of drops of tea tree oil or lavender oil: they are mild antiseptics and, provided your client is not allergic to these specific oils, are safe to use and far more natural than the shop bought antiseptic wipes. Hope this helps

That's a really good idea, thanks. Regards Janice
