What must be done with used wigs and hairpieces until they are cleaned?

Used wigs and hairpieces must be kept in a closed bag or container until they are cleaned to prevent any contamination and to maintain hygiene. This practice helps to limit exposure to bacteria, dust, or other environmental factors that could compromise the cleanliness and integrity of the wig or hairpiece. Proper storage ensures that any potential pathogens do not spread, keeping both the items and the environment safe. Options that suggest leaving the items out in the open or storing them in unfavorable conditions do not provide the necessary protection. Immediate washing is impractical in every situation, and storing in a freezer is not a standard procedure for hair maintenance. Therefore, maintaining them in a closed bag or container is the most appropriate and hygienic approach until they can be properly cleaned.
