The rule
What Illinois asks for, in plain words.
68 Ill. Adm. Code 1175.115(c) sets how pedicure equipment is cleaned and disinfected and asks for a record of the weekly cleaning, with separate logs for the weekly and daily procedures. Here is the record half, next to how ReadyPedi keeps it.
| The rule | ReadyPedi | |
|---|---|---|
| Which units | All pedicure equipment, such as whirlpool pedicure foot spas, self-contained foot basins, sinks and pedicure bowls. 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 every day; and once every week, the end-of-day procedure again, then a bleach solution circulated and left overnight. | 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 date and time of the weekly cleaning and disinfecting. The daily procedures have a log of their own. | The tech picks the cleaning. The date and time are stamped for them, with the tech's name beside them. |
| Two logs | Separate logs for the weekly and daily procedures are needed, but may be kept in the same document log. | One document: the Weekly Log first, the record the rule names, then the Daily Log, each log its own sheets per chair per month. |
| The record | The rule names no form, and the Department publishes none. Its salon self-inspection form restates the rule. | ReadyPedi lays the record out itself: the rule's own sentences on every page, then the date, time, cleaning and technician, the shop's registration number in the header. |
| How long | The record for the last ninety days, readily accessible. | Two years of history on every plan. |
| On request | Available to a client or an inspector who asks. | Inspection mode opens the last ninety days, ready to hand over. |
| Your part | Every row, on time, for every unit. | Three taps at the chair. |

Filling in a row
No boxes. Two logs.
ReadyPedi's record has no boxes to tick. Each row prints in the log the rule names for it, with the date, the time and the tech. These are the three rows.
| When | Weekly Log | Daily Log |
|---|---|---|
| Between clients | Blank | Printed here |
| Closing, the unit had clients | Blank | Printed here |
| The weekly bleach soak, after that night's End of Day | Printed here | Blank |
Never in the same log
- Weekly Log + Daily Log
A Weekly row doesn't close the day: ReadyPedi still expects that night's End of Day on the Daily Log.
The record
What the inspector is handed.
Two logs under the rule's own words, in one document, filled in from timestamped rows.
Print any unit and any month. The Weekly Log comes first, then the Daily Log, each page carrying the rule's sentences, your establishment and registration, 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 Illinois questions we're asked most.
Why two logs?
Because the rule says so: a record of the weekly cleaning, and separate logs for the weekly and daily procedures, which may be kept in the same document. ReadyPedi prints the Weekly Log first, the record the rule names, then the Daily Log, each with its own sheets for the chair and month.
Does the after-client cleaning go in the log?
The rule names a record of the weekly cleaning and a log of the daily procedures, and does not say which daily procedures. ReadyPedi offers After Each Client and prints it on the Daily Log with End of Day, so the daily log is whole.
How long do I keep the record?
The last ninety days, readily accessible to a client or an inspector who asks. 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 weekly procedure repeats the end-of-day steps and then adds the overnight bleach soak, so both are logged: End of Day on the Daily Log, then Weekly on the Weekly Log.
Why does the record say Registration, not License?
Because Illinois registers salons and shops rather than licensing them (1175.125), so the record's header uses the Department's own word.
Is ReadyPedi part of IDFPR?
No. ReadyPedi is an independent product, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. It prints a record under the rule's own words from your log.
Always inspection-ready
Never fail an IDFPR inspection over a missing log again.
Both of your Illinois logs are done before the inspector walks in.
