Extraction Fans for Mobile Spray Tans? - tanTALK

How many of you use Extraction Fans if you're spraying in a shower or a pop up tent?

So, I meant to make this a private poll, but goofed up. Admin, can you help? (and then delete this portion of the thread?)

the more people you do, the more there is a mist from the solution ,it will coat objects that it comes in contact with. just something to think about.

so does that you use one? If so how often do you change the filter?

I was just getting on to ask how often everyone changes their filters. Yes I use a fan always.

No need to. There isn't that much overspray and the tent catches it.

Same here, no need to. Barely none to no overspray even with a tanning party. Tent catches it.

I'm mobile. I just tell my clients that we need an area with good lighting and ventilation. It's never been a problem (so far). But, if I had a studio, I would use a fan. If I see overspray in a shower or on the floor, I clean it up before I leave. I have been curious about using a fan, doing mobile tans. Good Lord, how much more stuff can I show up with at their door? LOL

I have a back drop that has 3 fans with washable filters. Even with that, my salon has overspray. I cant imagine not using one. You may not see it, but the overspray is there. I just washed a shelf in on the other side of my salon yesterday, didnt look like it had overspray on it, but it did!

When I first started out I used it with every client as it was included in my start-up kit. I don't use it anymore unless I have multiple tans in the same location usually 3-4 or more depending. Once I stopped hauling it around to clients homes it was such a relief for single appointments. It was really bulky and I already have a lot to carry. Plus when I cleaned the fan it was disturbing how much solution was on the filter and the fan itself. By NOT using the fan I know the tent is catching any overspray and I might have to clean the tent more but I feel better knowing there isn't the potential for solution leakage around the fan opening. If that makes sense.
