The short answer
There is no Board form to download, because none exists. N.H. Admin. Code Bar 302.05(t) and (u) say, in two sentences, what New Hampshire wants:
A record shall be made of the date and time of each cleaning and disinfecting as required by (q) and (r) above, including whether the cleaning was a daily or weekly cleaning. The record pursuant to (t) above shall be made available upon request by either a patron or inspector.
That is the whole requirement. (q) is the end-of-day cleaning and (r) the weekly one, so the record the rule names is of those two, each dated and timed and labeled daily or weekly, and shown to anyone who asks. A notebook, a printed sheet, a tablet: any of them satisfies the rule if it holds that. The rest of this guide is what that looks like when it is done well.
| The rule says | What it means |
|---|---|
| “A record shall be made” | Any written record. The rule names no form and the Board publishes none |
| “of the date and time of each cleaning and disinfecting” | The two fields the rule requires: when each cleaning was done, to the day and to the time |
| “as required by (q) and (r) above” | The end-of-day cleaning (q) and the weekly cleaning (r). The after-patron cleaning (p) is required, but (t) does not name it for the record |
| “including whether the cleaning was a daily or weekly cleaning” | Each entry says which it was. The end-of-day cleaning is the daily one |
| “made available upon request by either a patron or inspector” | Shown to a client or a Board inspector who asks. Not posted, not filed |
Why there is nothing to download
Some states print a log form (Texas’s is mandatory); New Hampshire’s rule asks for the content and stops there. No form was found on the Board’s site. The Board’s inspection report does check the record: the inspector writes down whether the shop complied with “proper disinfection pursuant to Bar 302.05(q) – (w)” (Bar 404.01(d)(9)), and (t) and (u) sit inside that span. So a search for “the New Hampshire 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 (t) asks for. One more thing a reader searching in late 2026 will find: the Board has proposed a new chapter, Bar 800, for shops and schools. As read on October 19, 2026, its draft carries no record clause, and no notice so far repeals Bar 302.05, so (t) binds as before (see the FAQ).
The columns a compliant record needs
The rule names three things per entry. A record that shows only those three is still thin, because the rule’s “daily” cleaning is one of two cleanings a unit gets every day, and an entry that says “9/14, 8:40 pm, daily” cannot tell an inspector whether chair 4 or chair 5 was closed down. 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 date and time of each cleaning and disinfecting” | The rule’s first field |
| Time | Required: “the date and time” | The rule’s second field. Written when the cleaning is done, not at closing from memory |
| Daily or weekly | Required: “whether the cleaning was a daily or weekly cleaning” | The rule’s third field. ReadyPedi’s Cleaning column says it in words: End of Day is the daily cleaning, Weekly the weekly one, and After Each Client the one (t) does not ask for but the day reads whole with |
| Which unit | Not named. Good practice | The cleanings run per spa, so a record that mixes six chairs on one page cannot show that chair 4 was closed down. ReadyPedi keeps one record per unit |
| 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 |
| Disinfectant used | Not named. Not on ReadyPedi’s record | Some states ask for it; New Hampshire 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 shop. The rule does not ask for them |
Which disinfectants the rule names, and the bleach measures it gives, are in our guide to how to clean a pedicure foot spa in New Hampshire.
A blank record to print
The sheet below is ReadyPedi’s layout, not a Board 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 two sentences, 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 spa 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 shop’s name as it appears on the shop license. The shop’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 spa carries the same header.
Filling a row
A row is one cleaning on one spa. Date and time, written when the cleaning is finished: the rule says “the date and time of each cleaning and disinfecting”, 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, which answers the daily-or-weekly question: End of Day or Weekly, and After Each Client for the rows the day reads whole with. Then the name of the person who did it. There are no boxes to tick and no combinations to get wrong.
Three things about rows that trip people up. First, the end-of-day cleaning is its own row, after the last patron’s row, because the rule lists it as its own procedure (“At the end of each day”). Second, on the weekly night there are two rows, End of Day and then Weekly, because (r) runs “after cleaning and disinfecting pursuant to (q)”: the end of day first, then the weekly, and (t) records each; our guide to how often to clean a pedicure foot spa in New Hampshire has the schedule. Third, the rule has no “not used” row: a spa that saw no patrons has no cleanings 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.
The after-patron cleaning, and whether to log it
(p) requires each whirlpool, foot spa or spa to be cleaned and disinfected after each patron. (t) asks for a record of the cleanings “as required by (q) and (r)”, which are the end-of-day and weekly ones, so the rule does not require a row for the after-patron cleaning. ReadyPedi offers an After Each Client row all the same and prints it, because a record that shows the day’s patrons being cleaned up after and then the day closed down reads whole, and an inspector who sees only daily and weekly rows cannot tell a busy chair from an idle one. Logging it is good practice, not the rule’s requirement, and this guide says which is which.
Who can ask to see it
Two readers, in the rule’s words: “either a patron or inspector”. The rule names no place the record is kept, so “made available upon request” is the test: at the shop, where a patron at the chair or an inspector on a visit can be handed it without someone going to fetch it. It does not say paper or electronic. A tablet at the shop that shows the record on demand meets “made available upon request” as a binder does; print a copy for the clipboard if you want both. The patron half is worth a sentence: a client may ask to see it, and a tech who can hand over the current sheet without going to find the manager is the whole point.
How long to keep it
The rule names no retention period. It says the record is made and shown on request; it never says for how long. Keep history anyway. A shop that can show a year of complete records with the weekly at regular intervals 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. Our guide on how long to keep foot spa cleaning records, by state has every state’s period side by side, New Hampshire’s “none stated” among them.
What an inspection can cost
The Board’s fines follow points an inspection accumulates, and the point schedule in Bar 404 scores no line for the record itself. It scores the cleanings: “For each violation, 100 points shall be issued if the shop did not meet the requirements of Bar 302.05 (m), (q) through (s), and (x), and Bar 302.07(n)-(s).” (Bar 404.09(h)). Today’s (q) through (s) are the end-of-day, weekly and pipeless cleanings, and “For 25 or more points, the fine shall be one dollar for each point” (404.10(a)), so each missed cleaning of those three kinds is a $100 fine. “For offenses committed over multiple days, each day shall constitute a separate offense.” (404.09(n)). After a hearing the Board raises or lowers a fine on the factors in 404.11. The Bar 800 proposal would replace this structure (see the FAQ).
Keeping the New Hampshire record from a log kept at the chair
In ReadyPedi, each spa is set up once as Whirlpool or Pipe-less. The tech taps the cleaning at the chair; the date and time are stamped and the tech’s name goes beside them, and the cleaning’s name answers the daily-or-weekly question. A Weekly row does not close the day, so the app still expects that night’s End of Day. Any spa and any month prints as the Pedicure Equipment Cleaning and Disinfection Record, the rule’s sentences on every page, no seal and no form number. The rule next to the app is on the New Hampshire page, and a shop can start a free trial today.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an official New Hampshire pedicure cleaning log form?
No. Bar 302.05(t) says the record must show the date and time of each end-of-day and weekly cleaning and whether it was daily or weekly, and names no form; the Board publishes none. Any sheet that holds that satisfies the rule. The blank on this page is ReadyPedi’s layout, not a state document.
What does the record have to show?
Three things, in the rule’s words: the date, the time, and whether the cleaning was daily or weekly, for each end-of-day and weekly cleaning. Which spa and who did it are not named by the rule, but a record without them cannot show that every spa was closed down every day.
Do I have to log the cleaning after each patron?
The rule requires the cleaning (p) but asks for a record of the end-of-day and weekly cleanings (t). ReadyPedi logs the after-patron cleaning too, so the day reads whole; it is good practice rather than the rule’s requirement.
Who can ask to see the record?
A patron or an inspector, in the rule’s words. Keep it where it can be handed over on the spot.
How long do I keep it?
The rule names no period. Keep at least a year at the shop so an inspection sees a pattern; ReadyPedi keeps two years.
Is the rule changing?
The Board noticed a new Bar 800 chapter for shops and schools in September 2026 (notice 2026-186), to “consolidate technical standards currently located in Bar 302 and replace the detailed inspection and enforcement structure in Bar 404”. As read on October 19, 2026, its draft carries no record clause, and no notice so far repeals Bar 302.05, so (t) binds as before; written comments closed on October 26, 2026. This page follows the rule in force and will follow the new one if it is adopted.
