Lol what ... I was just wondering as some artists don't feel the need to clave the grip every time. I find that gross. Especially when not proporly bagged .. and to answer your question the work area gets a tripple barrier of saran wrap and two 3 ply dental bib the cord always gets bagged same with my machines I could not believe how many artists I saw at the recent convention with no machine bag ... After everything gets un bagged it is cleaned with germicide 3 two times each letting the surface stay wet for atleast a full 5 minutes .. the first wipe down is to clean the seccond to sterilize note I'm doing this all to things that have just been unwrapped and have zero ink or blood on them
