Hygiene in the solarium

As we all know, hygiene in a tanning salon is very important; it determines the standard of service. In today's article, we'll try to suggest how to ensure your tanning salon always receives an A+ rating in terms of hygiene! It's not just the quality of the equipment and service that impacts a salon, but above all, maintaining cleanliness and maintaining hygiene.

The owners or employees of a good and respectable tanning salon should not allow customers to point out any shortcomings in cleanliness.

What is worth paying attention to?

Before choosing a specific salon, customers often read reviews about the place they're interested in. Users often comment on what they liked, what they'd like to see improved, whether the staff is helpful, and most importantly, how clean the tanning salon is. First impressions are crucial, so it's worth paying attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment. The staff's interest in the customer, including their skin type, past illnesses, infections, and tolerance to UV radiation, is also crucial.

When choosing a specific salon, clients must be absolutely certain that the beds and equipment are thoroughly disinfected after each client's visit. Furthermore, the technical condition of the equipment is crucial – the risk of any malfunction or hazard must be eliminated. Therefore, staff should inspect and maintain the equipment and ensure the sterility of the interior to avoid undesirable side effects of tanning bed use.

It's a good idea to equip your tanning salon with signs that indicate the tanning bed has been properly disinfected. However, remember not to leave any traces on them, such as fingerprints, as they can also discourage customers. This small detail can raise questions about the hygiene level of the entire salon. You can purchase these signs on our website: https://www.onyxtan.pl/products/tabliczka-zdezynfekowano-plynem-solar-guard?variant=16987172077639 .

Another item that requires disinfection is the headrest. It's a good idea to clean the headrest after each client, and you can also leave a piece of paper towel on it to ensure it has been freshly and properly disinfected.

A crucial element of tanning salon supplies is, of course, protective goggles. Staff should immediately disinfect them after each client uses them. Some salons offer the option of purchasing your own set of goggles – a great idea.

In addition to all these basic tanning salon equipment, you should also pay attention to the condition and maintenance of other details in the tanning salon. We're talking about doorknobs, chairs, tables, and trash cans. Customers notice imperfections, for example, in sticky doorknobs or handles. People often leave with greasy hands and makeup stains. Chairs and tables should also be regularly cleaned to remove dust that accumulates on them and other stains that customers may leave behind, and trash cans should be emptied regularly. Remember to pay attention to this.

We hope this short guide to proper hygiene and cleanliness in a tanning salon will remind you, dear owners and employees, how important customer feedback is. In short, some things simply can't be overlooked or ignored. Maintaining a clean tanning salon is crucial for customers, primarily for hygiene reasons, but also for safety. Furthermore, no customer wants to lie down on a dirty tanning bed and find, for example, hair or dust all over the floor. Customers expect a relaxing treatment in an orderly, pleasant, and clean environment. They want to feel comfortable and at ease. Tanning studio cleanliness refers not only to well-maintained tanning equipment but also to all surfaces that collect dust or dirt, even if they are not easily accessible to customers, such as fans or switches. To keep the space clean, choose a disinfectant or sanitizer that has been certified and accredited for use in accordance with applicable national or regional laws. Sanitation standards also include providing paper towels, hand sanitizer, and—if requested—disposable underwear. Tanning beds should also be available; if clients prefer not to lie directly on the bed, they can use this solution.

While some parts or areas of the tanning bed can be cleaned daily or even weekly, tanning surfaces, buttons, and handles should be disinfected after each client with an appropriate cleaning agent. To let clients know the equipment is ready for use, a sign should be posted after cleaning stating that the unit has been freshly disinfected.

Customers can be quite harsh critics when it comes to cleanliness in a tanning salon. It's no wonder, as everyone expects such a place to be perfectly clean and sterile, conducive to complete relaxation. Customer reviews are very important, and when they are negative, especially regarding cleanliness, they can reach potential customers who, for that very reason, will no longer visit our salon.

Above all, it's a clean, tidy place where customers can feel safe and don't have to worry about hygiene.
