Unimax - confronting the difficult issues.
Disinfectant soaks for jewelry before use are not appropriate.

NOT FOR JEWELRY - NOT AS A WIPE-DOWN FOR TOOLS

Hard Surface disinfectants are best and safest for environmental surfaces
such as floors, walls, and furniture.

It is important that you read product labels.
Below is an actual label from a widely used product.

Even some organizations and piercers continue to mis-recommended hard surface 
disinfectants for body jewelry and wipe-down for tools.
To err is human, but to continue in error affecting the safety of clients is diabolical.
Label example:

Another class of chemicals, glutaraldehydes have no place in tattoo nor piercing and in fact are used in violation of Federal Law.
