Good Housekeeping
It goes without saying that your salon premises should be kept clean and
hygienic at all times. Treatment areas with a high volume of daily use, such
as beauty couches and chairs, should be thoroughly cleaned between each
client and/or a new covering placed over the surface.
Most salon chairs are made from PVC or vinyl, making them easy to wipe
down and clean with disinfectant. However, it is important to make sure you
use the right cleaning products. It is worth noting that any disinfectant
containing alcohol should be avoided as it is likely that it will react with the
PVC or vinyl, making it brittle and eventually causing it to crack. Once you get
a broken surface on any material, it is extremely difficult to disinfect it
properly, resulting in an area where bacteria can harvest and multiply.
With a heavy flow of footfall, the floor of your salon is a hive of activity and
therefore needs to remain clean at all times. If fly away nail extensions have
gone awol, or a buildup of hair has accumulated around your cutting area, for
example, this needs to be cleared away quickly, not only to avoid accidents
such as slips and trips but to also avoid bacteria spreading from location to
location. At the end of each day, ensure that you undertake a thorough floor
clean, ready for the next day!
