spray tan floor

i was wondering if anybody that does the spray tan by hand has trouble keeping their floors from being sticky. we mop after each spray tan but there is always that stickiness. will gladly accept any comments or solutions. thanks

Re: spray tan floor

we put down indoor outdoor carpet that matched our decor... it hides it as well as keeps it from getting slippery.. I steam clean it about once a month is all it needs.. sometimes longer

Thumbs up Re: spray tan floor

We have granite in our HVLP room. But when we spray we use a towel to cover platform and have a towel out infront of the platform. The exhaust fan appears to be working because we donot have problems with sticky or slippery floors. We do use Ecolab to clean the floor though after each client: No sticky or slippery issues.

Solution : We use Breeze, California tan and Norvel.

Re: spray tan floor

we use a thick rubber pad over top our carpet, it's about 1/2" thick, throw big towel down on it for them to stand on, it wipes right off rubber mat and doesn't go sticky.

Re: spray tan floor

Scrub have you used rubber mat for a while? Any issues?

We had industrial carpet laid in our Mystic room and it matched perfect and it was suggested to get a Large industrial rubber mat to cover in front along with a large bath towel to catch all the "stuff" and it is easily cleaned...Well it is and it works, butttttttttt

The rubber holds in the wet moisture after a while and 'OMG' The stench! When we would raise it up to clean carpet each night We wanted to PUKE! :sick:

We took it away after dealing with for a while ..now we just shampoo weekly. ;)

Re: spray tan floor

no issues like that for us, have been useing it for about a year now. Cleans up great and easy and looks great when clean. It is heavy duty industrial rubber, came from a factory that builds buses. That may be the difference

Re: spray tan floor

We use the foam rubber "puzzle" pieces that you see on the floor of some trade show booths. we got a 10x10 for under $200 cleans up wonderful with one of those mr clean mops. I will look up where I got it if anyone wants to know. You can pick you colors too.
