Whirlpools and hot foot baths used in the cleaning of the feet during pedicures are filled with unwanted microorganisms (tinea, nail fungus, various blood borne diseases) and skin particles that could only be prevented by sterilising the footbath in an autoclave (which is unachievable) between each pedicure system. By using warm towels with a moisturising antibacterial cleanser, the medical pedicure prevents the spread of infection from one client to another.
