Overheard my coworker say she skipped sanitizing her clippers between clients

I was at the break table yesterday getting coffee and heard Jessica whisper to another stylist that she doesn't sanitize her clippers between every person, just wipes them off with a dry towel. She said it saves her 5 minutes per haircut and nobody has complained. But I saw her do three guys back to back last Saturday, and one had visible scalp flakes. This is how ringworm or staph gets passed around, and we all signed that sanitation agreement when we started here. Has anyone else caught their coworker skipping disinfectant steps?

Is it possible she's just wiping them with a dry towel between clients and then actually sanitizing them at the end of the day? Like maybe she's just trying to be quick but still hitting that cleaning step when nobody's watching?

Dry towels don't kill germs. That's nasty.
