Wait? Does everyone clean the beds after "every" use???

We learned to speed up our salon by cleaning every 5th person... and it saves money on supplies.

it takes us about 2-3 minutes, we spray the bed with the solution , let it sit, clean the room in the meanwhile....then wipe it off! Then we spray the bed again and clean it one more time! We would rather take an extra minute and have the beds super clean.

Due to the number of germs that are mutating like crazy in this day and age, I personally cannot imagine 'cleaning a bed every 5th person'..not only is this completely unsanitary but it is disguisting..who wants to lay in someone elses sweat..not my clients or myself. We spray, let the spray sit, wipe with a clean towel, spray again then wipe with another clean towel then send clients in..also on a nightly basis wipe (with bleach water) all door knobs, tops of beds, handles where clients touch, cabinets, etc..when you walk into my salon you know it is clean and well maintained.

OK.... Every piece of equipment should be wiped and sanitized after EVERY USE. every 5th person comment is alarming. I am surprised you havent had major complaints or problems with the health board. The one place you shouldnt be trying to save money on is your sanitizer or cleaning products. Maintain a sanitary and healthy salon and your customers will always come back and spend 100 times what you pay for sanitizer.

Spray entire piece of equipments including all acrylics and handles . clean up trash and winkease papers, empty lotion packets ect. . Wipe down sanitizer. Replace towels . and reset bed from the room to avoid the" ROOM 4 is all set" screaming from employee to employee :]

I'm guessing Beachbum110 was being sarcastic with his comment about cleaning every
5th bed, I cant imagine anyone being that demented..........every client that leaves the tanning bed usually leaves a major mess!

Get a sense of humor people!

I'd say it takes me about 2-3 minutes to clean a bed, maybe a bit longer. Usually takes a bit longer if we have to double clean the beds after someone has used tingle.

I normally clean mine within 1-2 minutes......definately getting those sides and upper part.....I know the salom I went to years ago, would go into clean the bed and be out within 30 seconds....needless to say, I ALWAYS cleaned the bed(s) before getting in them......there is no way they could have cleaned the whole tanning bed area....and pillow in 30 seconds ..... better to be safe than sorry anyways! I definately didn't want someones sweat on me :::ewwww:::

a lot of times people think by just spraying the bed they have sanitized it. but lotion residue + tingles, and the germs people carry these days you never know!...you should be soaking the bed and taking a good 1-3 minutes to clean it. 3 minutes is kinda long especially if your client has been waiting for the previous tanner to finish up, but it really depends on your unit size etc... just clean the beds good. think of it if you were a customer, what would you wanna see. would you wanna lay on lotion smudges?

sorry... be away from the salon... and yes, we clean it after "every" person... not every 5th one.

We get our clients that say... "I cleaned it for you... it's all set" and we smile and thank them before we go back in and clean it to our specs.

I've had a few customers say... "Oh you don't have ot clean it that good for me"... and my reply is, "I clean every bed as if I'm the next one going in it", which they appreciate.
