No boxes: the record names each cleaning in words. ReadyPedi writes it for the tech.
The rule
What Montana asks for, in plain words.
ARM 24.121.1511(7) and (12) set how circulating equipment and foot bath basins are cleaned and disinfected, and (7) closes with the record. Here is the record half, next to how ReadyPedi keeps it.
| The rule | ReadyPedi | |
|---|---|---|
| Which units | Electrical equipment providing circulating, whirlpool or vacuum effects (7), and foot bath basins (12). A plain basin has no screens or tubing for the end-of-day step. | Set each chair as Whirlpool, Pipe-less or Basin. A Basin offers After Each Client alone. |
| Which cleanings | Cleaned and disinfected after each use; flushed, cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis; the screens, tubing and removable parts done at the end of each business day. | After Each Client, End of Day and Regular Flush, each a row of its own. |
| The flush | On a regular basis. The rule names no interval. | A Regular Flush row whenever you do it. ReadyPedi never counts one as owed, because the rule sets no clock. |
| What a row shows | Detailed cleaning documentation. The rule names no fields. | The date, the time, the cleaning and the tech, every row. |
| The record | The rule names no form, and the Board publishes none. | ReadyPedi lays the record out itself: the rule's own sentences on every page, then the date, time, cleaning and technician, one record per unit, a sheet per month. |
| How long | The rule names no period, and no rule in the chapter sets one. | Two years of history on every plan. |
| On request | The documentation is the licensee's to maintain; the rule names no reader. | 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. The cleaning, in words.
ReadyPedi's record has no boxes to tick. Each row names the cleaning it records, 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 flush, whenever the shop does it | Regular Flush |
ReadyPedi won't let a tech log an End of Day or a flush on a basin without circulation.
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 sentences, 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 Montana questions we're asked most.
How often is the flush?
The rule says on a regular basis and names no interval. ReadyPedi offers a Regular Flush row for whenever you do it and never shows one as overdue, because there is no clock in the rule to run.
What does detailed cleaning documentation mean?
The rule names no fields. ReadyPedi records the date, the time, the cleaning and the tech for every row, which is what every other state's record asks for, and prints the rule's own sentence on every page.
What about a basin without jets?
Foot bath basins are sanitized and disinfected after each use. The end-of-day step is for screens, tubing and removable parts, which a plain basin has none of, so a Basin in ReadyPedi offers After Each Client alone.
How long do I keep the record?
The rule names no period, and no other rule in the chapter sets one. ReadyPedi keeps two years of history, and Inspection mode opens the last ninety days.
Is ReadyPedi part of the Board?
No. ReadyPedi is an independent product, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Montana Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists. It prints a record under the rule's own words from your log.
Always inspection-ready
Never fail a Board inspection over missing documentation again.
Your Montana record is done before the inspector walks in.
