✓ Correct answer: B. The spa must be cleaned, then filled with an EPA-registered disinfectant solution and allowed to circulate for the full manufacturer-required contact time before draining Standard nail-tech infection-control protocols (reflected in most state board rules and Milady curriculum) require an end-of-day disinfection cycle where the whirlpool circulates EPA-registered disinfectant for the full contact time to eliminate biofilm buildup in the internal plumbing.
