When cleaning surfaces after blood exposure, what must be done with contaminated items?

Contaminated items that have been exposed to blood must be treated with appropriate care to prevent any risk of infection or contamination. Placing them in a double bag and sealing them is the correct procedure because it ensures that any hazardous material is safely contained. This method minimizes the risk of exposure to other surfaces or individuals and complies with safety protocols for handling biohazard materials. Double-bagging also helps in the safe transportation and disposal of the contaminated items in accordance with local regulations and health guidelines, promoting a safe environment for both clients and estheticians.

The other options suggest inadequate or unsafe practices, which do not align with standard health and safety protocols regarding bloodborne pathogens.
