"The first step of a foot massage, is you want to sanitize the client's feet, with either warm, soapy water, or with a hand sanitizer. You just want to make sure, bend the knee. You want to make sure that you get both feet cleaned. Pull this one up. Move, kitty, kitty, Ruth kitty, kitty. It's best not to have animals around when you do this, because they can get in the way. After you sanitize both feet, you just want to wipe off your hand. You want to remove the polish from all ten toenails. Some people get quite ticklish, which is all right. Make sure you remove the polish from all ten toenails. The more polish they have on, the longer it will take. That's why every time you re-polish your nails, you should only have one color on. Don't put color on top of color, on top of more color. Sarah here, has about three colors on, so it's taking a little longer, but that's all right. Just make sure you get it all off. Make sure you get it off the side walls real good, off the entire nail. That is how you sanitize and remove the polish, from all ten toenails."
