A tanning bed inside your tanning salon that needs repair or is not functioning is a direct loss of revenue for the salon. Check out these useful tips for keeping your tanning beds in top condition.

1. Be sure to stock small components known to fail every now and then. This will save you from having to lose revenue while waiting for a replacement part to arrive.

2. Learn maintenance basics such as removing the acrylics and replacing lamps and lamp holders. Why pay someone else to do it when you can do it yourself?

3. That said, call the service technician if there is any uncertainty about how to make a repair. A small mistake can create a bigger and more expensive problem. As Ben Franklin said “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

4. Keep your equipment clean so it runs more efficiently for a longer period of time.

5. Make up a daily, weekly and monthly maintenance sheet and add it to your salon’s procedure handbook. Keep this sheet handy and note the date that each task was completed.
