What should be provided for each client to prevent contamination?

Providing a fresh towel for each client creates a new, uncontaminated barrier between the client and the treatment area, directly preventing cross-contamination at the point of contact. This simple, per-client hygiene step ensures any residues, oils, or microbes from a previous client are not transferred to the next one. While towels should be laundered between clients and floors cleaned as part of overall hygiene, the immediate measure that stops contamination between individuals is giving every client a fresh towel. COSHH regulations relate to handling hazardous substances, not per-client barrier towels, and daily floor cleaning supports cleanliness but doesn’t guarantee a new barrier for each client.
