How frequently should tanning equipment be disinfected according to best practices?

The best practice for disinfecting tanning equipment is to clean it before each use. This approach ensures that the equipment remains hygienic and minimizes the risk of spreading infections or skin irritations among clients. Regular disinfection before each use is critical in maintaining a safe environment, especially given that tanning beds and related devices are frequently used by different individuals.

This practice helps to eliminate any residual bacteria, viruses, or fungi that may be present on the surfaces. It also assures clients that their health and safety are prioritized. While cleaning it only when it looks dirty could appear sufficient, this does not account for unseen contaminants that might pose health risks. Cleaning once a week or at the end of the day may not provide the necessary level of hygiene required for equipment that is in continuous use by different customers throughout the day.
