How To Take Care Of Your Home Tanning Bed
We all wanted to have our tanning beds to last as long as
possible. This is why some people buy tanning beds that are
touted to be durable. But tanning beds do last long if the
owners take good care of them.
Here are some ways to take good care of your tanning bed.
After each session, you need to do two things, "inspect" and
"clean". You need to inspect the click strip and make sure that
it is attached firmly. And you need to inspect the facial glass
(if your tanning bed has it) and make sure that it has no cracks
or any other "blemishes". Then, you need to clean. You must
clean the bench and canopy acrylics. Use only the right cleaning
liquid, not alcohol nor bleach. And use only soft non-abrasive
cloth. You must also clean the tanning bed pillow. Do not use
the outdoor or oil-based tanning lotions. These will damage the
acrylic. And lastly, you must clean and sanitize the goggles.
This is also for your own safety.
Everyday, you do the same thing to your tanning bed, even if you
are not using them, and especially if there are many users of
the bed. That is, you must inspect and clean. You must inspect
the acrylics for cracks, wear, or hazing. Then, you clean the
pillow, the bench, and the canopy acrylics. You must also clean
and sanitize goggles and the bed exterior. Again, use only the
approved cleaning solution.
Once a week, aside from inspecting and cleaning, you must do
more things to make sure that your tanning bed is in top
condition. You must dust the lamps. But do not touch them with
your bare hands. Then you must remove and clean the inside of
the bench and canopy acrylic sheets. You must wipe and vacuum
the fans, the vents, and the vent hoses. Check if the shock
tension needs to be adjusted. If it does, then adjust it. Check
the set bolts if these are still tight. And check the power cord
and the bench-to-canopy connectors if these are also snug with
no wear and tear.
And monthly, you clean again the bench and canopy acrylics. You
also need to clean the reflectors using the appropriate cleaning
solution. Inspect the vent hoses for optimum ventilation and do
the necessary adjustments if needed. For sufficient ventilation,
make sure that the bed is at least six inches away from the
wall. And lastly, check the voltage being supplied to the bed.
It should conform with the ones stated in the manufacturer's
guidelines. If you need to replace a lamp, choose replacements
that meet the frequency recommendations.
When you do all these things with your tanning bed, then you are
assured that the quality of your tanning bed will last longer.
