Cleaning your Bed

This month I’m going to discuss the proper way to clean your bed. There is more to keeping your bed clean than just wiping down the acrylic after a customer is finished tanning. At least once a month, you need to give your whole bed a thorough cleaning to keep it in top condition. This includes taking both top and bottom acrylics out and cleaning both sides of them.

Aside from the cleaning the acrylics you will want to use a damp cloth and wipe down each lamp and also the reflectors on both the top and bottom. This will clean off any dust that has made its way into your unit. Any dust on the lamps and reflector will cut down on the amount of UV light that can bounce around in the bed.

Don’t forget about changing your air filters if your bed uses one. A dirty air filter will cause your bed to overheat and will not only make your customers uncomfortable but can also cause problems with bed operation. Set up a monthly cleaning routine and you will keep your bed running without any major problems.
