The short answer
There is no DBPR form to download, because none exists. Fla. Admin. Code R. 61G5-20.002(3)(g)4 says, in one sentence, what Florida wants:
A record or log book containing the dates and times of all pedicure cleaning and disinfection procedures must be documented and kept in the pedicure area by the salon and made available for review upon request by a consumer or a Department inspector.
That is the whole requirement. A notebook, a printed sheet, a tablet: any of them satisfies the rule if it holds the dates and times of every cleaning and disinfection procedure on every unit, sits in the pedicure area, and can be handed to a client or an inspector who asks. The rest of this guide is what that looks like when it is done well.
| The rule says | What it means |
|---|---|
| “A record or log book” | Any written record. The rule names no form and DBPR publishes none |
| “containing the dates and times” | The two fields the rule requires: when each procedure was done, to the day and to the time |
| “of all pedicure cleaning and disinfection procedures” | Every one: after each client, the end of each day of use, and the weekly bleach soak, on every unit that holds water |
| “must be documented and kept in the pedicure area by the salon” | Written down, and kept where the pedicures happen, not in the office or at home |
| “made available for review upon request by a consumer or a Department inspector” | Shown to a client or a DBPR inspector who asks. Not posted, not filed with DBPR |
Why there is nothing to download from DBPR
Some states print a log form (Texas’s is mandatory); Florida’s rule asks for the content and stops there. DBPR’s own inspection form confirms it. Item 0140 on the Cosmetology Salon Inspection Form (DBPR 8000-357, rev. 4/14) reads “A record or log book containing dates and times of pedicure cleaning and disinfection procedures kept by the salon”, citing 61G5-20.002(3)(g)4. The inspector checks that a record exists and says what the rule says; there is no box for a form number. DBPR also publishes the footbath rule as a flyer in Vietnamese, and that flyer holds no template either. So a search for “the Florida pedicure log form” ends at a sheet somebody designed: a log-book seller, a salon, or ReadyPedi. What matters is whether the sheet holds what the sentence above asks for.
The columns a compliant record needs
The rule names two fields. A record that shows only those two is thin, because the same rule asks for three different procedures on every unit, and a row that says “9/14, 8:40 pm” cannot tell an inspector whether that was an after-client clean, the end-of-day soak or the weekly bleach. The table says which columns the rule requires and which are there because the record is hard to read without them.
| Column | What the rule says | Why it is there |
|---|---|---|
| Date | Required: “the dates ... of all pedicure cleaning and disinfection procedures” | The rule’s first field |
| Time | Required: “the dates and times” | The rule’s second field. Written when the procedure is done, not at closing from memory |
| Which cleaning | Not named. Good practice | The record must cover all three procedures; a row that does not say which one cannot show that the weekly was done or that the end of day was not skipped. ReadyPedi’s Cleaning column says it in words: After Each Client, End of Day, Weekly |
| Who did it | Not named. Good practice | The rule asks for no initials, name or signature. A name on the row is how a shop answers “who ran the weekly on the 14th” without guessing. ReadyPedi prints the technician’s name |
| Which unit | Not named. Good practice | The procedures run per unit, so a record that mixes six chairs on one page cannot show that chair 4 was cleaned after its 3:00 client. ReadyPedi keeps one record per unit |
| Disinfectant used | Not named. Not on ReadyPedi’s record | Some states ask for it; Florida does not. Keep the product’s label where an inspector can read it instead |
| Establishment name and license | Not named | ReadyPedi prints them in the header so a loose sheet can be tied to the salon. The rule does not ask for them |
Which disinfectant the rule names, and the one place it names bleach instead, is in our guide to how to clean a pedicure foot spa in Florida.
A blank record to print
The sheet below is ReadyPedi’s layout, not a DBPR form; it carries no seal and no form number because it is not the state’s document, and it says so on the sheet. It prints the record’s title, the rule’s sentence, lines for the establishment, its license number, the unit and the month, and the four columns (Date, Time, Cleaning, Technician) over a page of empty rows. Print one sheet per unit per month. A shop with eight pedicure chairs starts the month with eight sheets.
What goes at the top of each sheet
The rule names none of these, so they are the sheet’s housekeeping, not the law’s. The establishment name as it appears on the salon license. The salon’s license number (the establishment’s, not a technician’s). The unit, numbered the same way every month and labeled on the chair to match. The month, so the Date column needs only the day. Fill them in before the sheet goes out to the floor; every sheet for the same unit carries the same header.
Filling a row
A row is one procedure on one unit. Date and time, written when the procedure is finished: the rule says “the dates and times”, and a page where every row says 9:00 pm in the same pen is the thing an inspector is trained to spot. Then the cleaning, in words: After Each Client, End of Day or Weekly. Then the name of the person who did it. There are no boxes to tick and no combinations to get wrong, which is the one advantage of a state with no form.
Three things about rows that trip people up. First, the end-of-day procedure is its own row, after the last client’s after-client row, because the rule lists it as a separate procedure “at the end of each day of use”. Second, on the weekly night there are two rows, End of Day and then Weekly, because the rule puts the weekly bleach soak “subsequent to completing the required end-of-day cleaning procedures”; our guide to how often to clean a pedicure foot spa in Florida has the schedule. Third, the rule has no “not used” row: a unit that saw no clients has no procedures that day and no rows, and the rule does not ask for a note saying so. Nothing stops you from writing one in the margin.
“Kept in the pedicure area”: what satisfies it
The sentence has three verbs for the record: documented, kept, made available. “Kept in the pedicure area by the salon” is the one that decides where the binder lives. The current sheets belong where the pedicures happen: on a clipboard at the station, in a sleeve on the chair, in a binder on the pedicure side of the shop. Not in the office, not in the owner’s car, not at home with last month’s receipts. If an inspector walks the pedicure area and has to wait while someone fetches the log from somewhere else, “kept in the pedicure area” is the item being tested.
The rule says nothing about paper or electronic, and the sources this guide rests on found no DBPR statement either way. What the rule tests is the same for both: is there a record, does it hold the dates and times, is it in the pedicure area, can a client or an inspector see it on request. A tablet that lives in the pedicure area and shows the record on demand meets each of those words as a binder does. ReadyPedi’s record is on every tablet in the shop, and the app suggests printing a copy for the pedicure area; a printed month on the clipboard beside the tablet costs a sheet of paper and removes the conversation.
The “consumer” half is worth a sentence. A client may ask to see the record, and the notice DBPR requires at each footbath (next section) tells them that “a log of all uses and cleanings is kept”. A tech who can hand over the current sheet without going to find the manager is the whole point of keeping it in the pedicure area.
The notice at each footbath
A separate rule, 61G5-20.004(3), says a salon “shall display at each footbath a copy of the Consumer Protection Notice regarding footbaths, sanitation, and safety”. DBPR’s sheet, revised October 15, 2007, is at the link in the Sources; inspectors check for it as item 0104 on the inspection form. It is not the log, but it hangs where the log lives, and it promises the client that the log exists. One copy at each footbath, printed from DBPR’s PDF. ReadyPedi’s Inspection mode lists the notice with a link to DBPR’s sheet. 61G5-20.004 has been in rule development since March 23, 2026, with no proposed text published as of October 24, 2026.
How long to keep it
The rule names no retention period. It says the record is kept in the pedicure area and shown on request; it never says for how long. Keep history anyway. DBPR’s inspection program runs an initial inspection when the salon is licensed, routine inspections every two years (“biennially on a fiscal year basis”, in the Division’s words) and complaint inspections, and the citation row for this rule steps up at the fourth violation. A shop that can show a year of complete records is a shop with a pattern, not a week. ReadyPedi keeps two years of history on every plan, and Inspection mode opens the last ninety days ready to hand over. What the states that do name a period ask for is in our guide on how long to keep foot spa cleaning records, by state.
What a missing record costs
The Board’s citation schedule, Fla. Admin. Code R. 61G5-30.001, row (o), “Failure to meet minimum salon requirements for cleanliness, disinfection procedures, and log book” (citing 61G5-20.002(3) and (6)), sets $100 per violation for up to three violations, and $500 for four or more violations with suspension of the salon license pending successful reinspection before it is reinstated. The log book sits in the same row as the cleaning and disinfection procedures themselves.
Keeping the Florida record from a log kept at the chair
In ReadyPedi, each sink, bowl, basin, pipe-less or whirlpool unit is set up once as Whirlpool, Pipe-less or Basin. The tech taps the cleaning at the chair; the date and time are stamped and the tech’s name goes beside them. A Weekly row does not close the day, so the app still expects that night’s End of Day. Any unit and any month prints as the Pedicure Equipment Cleaning and Disinfection Record, the rule’s sentence on every page, no seal and no form number. The rule next to the app is on the Florida page, and a shop can start a free trial today.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an official Florida pedicure cleaning log form?
No. Rule 61G5-20.002(3)(g)4 says the record must contain the dates and times of all pedicure cleaning and disinfection procedures and names no form; DBPR publishes none, and its inspection form only checks that a record is kept. Any sheet that holds the dates and times satisfies the rule. The blank on this page is ReadyPedi’s layout, not a state document.
What does the record have to show?
The rule names two things: the date and the time of every cleaning and disinfection procedure. Which procedure it was, who did it and which unit it was are not named by the rule, but a record without them cannot show that all three procedures were done on every unit, which is what an inspector is reading for.
Where does the log have to be kept?
“In the pedicure area by the salon”, in the rule’s words, and available on request to a consumer or a Department inspector. At the stations, or in a binder on the pedicure side of the shop; not in the office and not at home.
Can I keep it on a tablet instead of paper?
The rule does not say paper or electronic. It says the record is documented, kept in the pedicure area and shown on request. A tablet in the pedicure area that shows the record meets those words as a binder does; print a copy for the clipboard if you want both.
How long do I keep the old sheets?
The rule names no period. Keep at least a year at the shop so an inspection sees a pattern, and more if you can; ReadyPedi keeps two years.
