How to Disinfect a Tanning Bed

Using a tanning bed to get a nice tan has become more popular than hanging out at the beach. Perhaps this is because the tan can be achieved in a much shorter time period. Tanning salons own a certain number of beds that are used by several people each day. In order to provide proper service, the bed must be disinfected after each use.

  Take the spray bottle over to the sink and fill it the rest of the way with water. Place the sprayer back on.

  Spray the solution on to the tanning bed lamps and reflectors and wipe down with a soft rag. Make sure you get both sides of the lamps and reflectors in ensure that the whole tanning bed is sanitized.

  Spray the goggles. Don't forget this step. It is just as important as disinfecting the bed itself. The goggles are used by all of the clients and need to be wiped down as well. So spray them, and wipe off with the soft rag. Repeat these steps after each use of the tanning bed.
