Pumice, a naturally occurring rock created during volcanic eruption, is used in it's natural form to exfoliate dead skin from the feet during pedicures. Pumice stones are considered multi-use tools and can be used by more then one person. All multi-use tools must be disinfected between uses to ensure that they do not harbor harmful bacteria.

After each use, remove all visible debris and residue with a scrub brush and soap and warm water. Rinse the pumice stone thoroughly.

Mix a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water in a bowl or glass jar.

Place the pumice stone in the bowl. It must be completely immersed in the solution. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
