Where should dirty wigs be kept until they are cleaned?

• A. On a shelf
• B. In a closed container
• C. In a mesh bag
• D. In a sink

Answer: (B)

Contamination control is the key idea. Dirty wigs should be kept in a closed container so anything on or in the wig stays contained and doesn’t spread to surfaces, tools, or other clients. A closed container also helps manage moisture and odors, making it easier to transport the item to the cleaning station without handling contaminated materials directly. Leaving the wig exposed on a shelf or in a sink risks cross-contamination and unsanitary conditions, while a mesh bag doesn’t fully contain contaminants.
