Florida · Board of Cosmetology · Rule 61G5-20.002(3)(g)
Florida requires a record of every pedicure equipment cleaning. Log it in three taps.
Under Rule 61G5-20.002(3)(g), every sink, bowl, basin, pipe-less and whirlpool spa is cleaned after each client, at the end of each day and once a week, and the dates and times of every procedure go in a record kept in the pedicure area. Techs log at the chair. The Board publishes no form, so ReadyPedi prints a record that carries the rule's own words.

No boxes: the record names each cleaning in words. ReadyPedi writes it for the tech.
The rule
What Florida asks for, in plain words.
Rule 61G5-20.002(3)(g) sets how pedicure equipment is cleaned and disinfected and asks for a record of every procedure. Here is the record half, next to how ReadyPedi keeps it.
| The rule | ReadyPedi | |
|---|---|---|
| Which units | Any pedicure equipment that holds water: sinks, bowls, basins, pipe-less spas and whirlpool spas. The rule does not mention liners. | Set each chair as Whirlpool, Pipe-less or Basin. Every kind takes all three procedures. |
| Which cleanings | After each client, at the end of each day of use, and once a week, after the end-of-day procedure, a bleach solution left to sit at least six hours. | After Each Client, End of Day and Weekly, each a row of its own. The Weekly is logged after that night's End of Day, and both print. |
| What a row shows | The dates and times of all pedicure cleaning and disinfection procedures. | The tech picks the cleaning. The date and time are stamped for them, with the tech's name beside them. |
| The record | The rule names no form, and the Board publishes none. DBPR's inspection form only checks that a record is kept. | ReadyPedi lays the record out itself: the rule's own sentence on every page, then the date, time, cleaning and technician, one record per unit, a sheet per month. |
| Where it's kept | In the pedicure area, by the salon. | The record is on every tablet in the shop. Print a copy for the pedicure area whenever it suits you. |
| How long | The rule names no period. | Two years of history on every plan. |
| On request | Shown to a consumer or a Department inspector who asks. | Inspection mode opens the last ninety days, ready to hand over. |
| At each footbath | A copy of DBPR's Consumer Protection Notice, displayed at each footbath (Rule 61G5-20.004(3)). Inspectors check for it. | Inspection mode lists the notice with a link to DBPR's sheet, to print and post. |
| Your part | Every row, on time, for every unit. | Three taps at the chair. |

Filling in a row
No boxes. The cleaning, in words.
ReadyPedi's record has no boxes to tick. Each row names the procedure it records, in the rule's own words, beside the date, the time and the tech. These are the three rows.
| When | Cleaning |
|---|---|
| Between clients | After Each Client |
| Closing, the unit had clients | End of Day |
| The weekly bleach soak, after that night's End of Day | Weekly |
A Weekly row doesn't close the day: ReadyPedi still expects that night's End of Day.
The record
What the inspector is handed.

A record under the rule's own words, filled in from timestamped rows.
Print any unit and any month. The page carries the rule's sentence, your establishment and license, then every row's date, time, cleaning and technician. No seal and no form number: it is not the state's document, and it says so.

Instructions
The Florida questions we're asked most.
There's no state form. What do I print?
The rule asks for a record or log book with the dates and times of every cleaning, and names no form. ReadyPedi prints its own, titled Pedicure Equipment Cleaning and Disinfection Record, with the rule's sentence on every page, one record per unit, a sheet per month. It carries no seal and no form number, because it is not the state's document.
Does a basin or bowl without jets need a record?
Yes. The rule covers any pedicure equipment that holds water: sinks, bowls, basins, pipe-less spas and whirlpool spas. Every one gets all three procedures, and every procedure is recorded.
How long do I keep the record?
The rule names no period. It says the record is kept in the pedicure area and shown on request to a consumer or a Department inspector. ReadyPedi keeps two years of history, and Inspection mode opens the last ninety days.
When do I log the weekly cleaning?
After that night's End of Day. The rule says the weekly bleach soak comes after the end-of-day procedure, so both are logged: End of Day first, then Weekly, each on its own row.
What about the Consumer Protection Notice?
Rule 61G5-20.004(3) says to display DBPR's notice at each footbath, and inspectors check for it. ReadyPedi's Inspection mode lists it with a link to DBPR's sheet; you print it and post it.
Is ReadyPedi part of the Board or DBPR?
No. ReadyPedi is an independent product, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Florida Board of Cosmetology or the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. It prints a record under the rule's own words from your log.
Always inspection-ready
Never fail a DBPR inspection over a missing record again.
Your Florida record is done before the inspector walks in.
