What type of material is suitable for cutting capes to be disinfected with a disinfectant?

The correct choice is solid, nonwoven plastic because it is specifically designed for use in salons and barber shops where disinfecting is a key requirement. Nonwoven plastic materials are non-absorbent, which allows for easy cleaning and disinfecting. They do not harbor bacteria or pathogens since they don’t absorb liquids, making them ideal for environments where sanitation is crucial.

In contrast, cotton fabric and silk are absorbent materials. While cotton may be comfortable, its absorbent nature means it can hold onto hair clippings, moisture, and product residues, which can complicate the disinfection process and pose a risk for cross-contamination. Absorbent materials would require more effort to thoroughly disinfect compared to nonwoven options. Any absorbent material, therefore, would also be less suitable for meeting the stringent hygiene standards expected in cosmetology.
