Trow away your leftovers?or back in bottle?

Hello, my distributer told me that i should always throw away the leftovers from my tanning solution after i sprayed. this because its not good for the quality of the product.
Is this really necessary? or do they just want to sell me more bottles?

once it hits the open air you are on borrowed time. Throw it out.

Sorry, but to me that's money down the drain. Granted I usually only open the bottle to refill my cup but in the last 6 years I have never just emptied it down the drain and have not had any problems. Probably depends too on how fast you go through your solution . Sometimes what I will do is collect it in a seperate container and just use it to spray myself and my husband.

Re: Trow away your leftovers?or back in bottle?

Wait. What size bottles are we talking about? Gallon? Quart? And how many people? If the question is do you throw away a gallon of solution after one spray then the answer would have to be don't buy solution by the gallon. It should take a couple ounces give or take to spray a person. Don't be cracking a keg to spray one person.

Just remember that once that solution is exposed to air it starts to go bad. If you can find a way to dispense the solution without exposing the supplies to the elements it'll never go bad.

Re: Trow away your leftovers?or back in bottle?

the solution from the spray cup shouldn't be mixed back into the original jug. If you spray 4 people day just clean the cup at the end. you should be able to judge how much you will need to spray a client.
as Engfant said as soon as the stuff hits the air it begins to oxidize. oxidized solution turns green (I don't know why) if you dump it into the jug then the whole lot is contaminated

Same as gward714. I pour the remaining solution into a seperate container. I use it on myself and employees. Their tans always look great.

Re: Trow away your leftovers?or back in bottle?

that is a good idea to use the left over juice on your own people. You'll know exactly how long it'll last before it goes bad and no waste.

good thinking.

Re: Trow away your leftovers?or back in bottle?

As long as its not green it works just fine. I fill my spray rig as needed and cap the leftovers at nite an put in fridge. Next day thats the solution i start with and add to it as needed. Never have a problem unless i forgot to chill it over the weekend. I do 6-10 a day so i go through solution fairly quickly, never a problem.
