How should soiled towels be stored in a salon?

Soiled towels should be stored in a covered towel container to maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of bacteria and odors. A covered container serves as a barrier, ensuring that contaminants do not escape into the salon environment, where they could pose a risk to client and staff health. Additionally, using a covered container allows for easier disposal and minimizes visual clutter in the salon.

The other options do not promote proper sanitation practices. An open container would expose the towels to airborne contaminants and odors. Storing them on a drying rack does not adequately contain the soiled items, which could lead to cross-contamination with clean items. Scattering the towels around the salon would create an unsightly and unhygienic environment, further exacerbating the potential for contamination and creating a negative impression on clients.
