Yes keep the area u will be doing treatment in extremely clean. Keep hands clean when connecting and disconnecting. Keep hands clean when clean ur site. If u drop a connecting piece that hits the floor before connecting to become or yourself, throw it away and start over. Make sure u have enough room for supplies. And make sure no pets in the area u are doing treatment in.
