Maintaining hygiene in a barbershop is crucial for providing a safe and healthy environment for clients. Regularly sanitizing all tools and surfaces is essential because it prevents the spread of bacteria and viruses that can lead to infections or illness. This includes disinfecting clippers, scissors, combs, and other implements after each use as well as cleaning counters, chairs, and any other surfaces that come in contact with clients.

The other options do not contribute positively to hygiene. Keeping products on the floor can lead to contamination and dirt accumulation, while limiting client interaction does not directly address hygiene practices in the barbershop setting. Similarly, while decorative items can enhance the atmosphere, they do not play a role in hygiene and could potentially create additional surfaces that require cleaning if not managed properly. Thus, the focus on regular sanitation directly targets the health and safety responsibilities of a barber.
