What is the proper disinfectant mixing ratio for tanning equipment?

The proper disinfectant mixing ratio for tanning equipment is crucial for ensuring effective sanitation and client safety in tanning facilities. A 70/30 ratio, where 70% of the mixture is disinfectant and 30% is water, is widely recognized as effective in killing a broad spectrum of pathogens. This concentration ensures that the disinfectant maintains its potency while still being safe for equipment and surfaces.

Using a 70/30 ratio helps achieve optimal contact time and effectiveness, as lower concentrations may not effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms. Additionally, this ratio balances efficacy with potential damage to tanning equipment, preventing corrosion and extending the life of the devices.

In contrast, other mixing ratios may not provide the same level of protection or might compromise the integrity of the tanning equipment, making it essential for operators to adhere to the recommended 70/30 standard for disinfection.
