Maintenance Playbook: Keep Salon Equipment Safe, Sanitised, and Audit‑Ready
It's not just about giving beautiful pedicures or keeping track of daily appointments when you own a salon. It's important to maintain everything behind the scenes just as clean, especially your Salon equipment. When you don't take care of your tools, problems can add up. People notice. Auditors see it. And before you know it, you're in a lot of trouble with fines, bad ratings, or even worse, health code violations.
Come on, let's be honest. Proper care is what keeps your salon in business, whether you have a brand-new pedicure station, a moving beauty parlour cart or a soft backrest stool. This article will help you keep things clean, safe, and compliant without making your daily life even more chaotic.
Start with the Pedicure Station: Clean from the Inside Out
The pedicure chair is the most important part of your service. It sees scrubs, lotions, skin, and spills of all types every day. That implies you have to disinfect every day. You should empty the footbath basin, clean it with antibacterial soap, rinse it well, and dry it off after each usage. But after the day is over, you'll need to go further. If your pedicure station has jets, run a hospital-grade disinfectant into the waterline. No shortcuts: let it settle for at least 10 minutes.
Don't wipe down everything you see You should also clean things that your clients can't see. Fungal spores and dead skin don't care whether they're hidden in little pipes. An inspector won't either.
Trolleys on Wheels: Mobile, Handy, and Often Forgotten
You might forget about your salon trolleys on wheels because they're just there. But think about it. People touch them all the time. They hold everything from fresh towels to used nail clippers. They become rolling germ vectors if you don't clean them often. Every night, clean them with disinfectant.
Look for hair or other debris on the wheels that could make them not roll smoothly. Handles, drawer pulls, and tray surfaces are the places where product buildup happens the fastest. And once a week, conduct a more thorough cleaning. Take everything out. Clean every part. Get rid of things that are no longer good. Only keep what you need, and-live every inch before putting things back.esc
Beauty Parlour Trolley and Organisation: Tools in Their Right Place
Your beauty salon trolley isn't only a place to store things; it's also part of your hygiene plan. It decides what is utilised, how quickly it can be accessed, and how clean it stays between clients. Cuticle pushers, filers, buffers and other tools in that trolley must either be used once or cleaned after each usage. Never mix tools after using them. Sort by type of service. If you need to, use trays or labels that are colour-coded. Keep dirty instruments apart from clean ones.
Quick tip: Change tools around. Don't use that nail cutter that says "just one more time" again. The bacteria doesn't care how excellent your intentions were.
Pedicure Chairs and Backrest Stools: Where Comfort Meets Cleanliness
A lot of the time, clients are sitting down. That implies you need to take care of your pedicure chairs and pedicure stools just as much as your instruments. Are your vinyl cushions cracked or your armrests stained? Not a nice appearance. After each client, clean all of the seating areas. Use antibacterial wipes that are safe for leather or fake leather.
Once a week, clean behind the cushions or adjustable sections by lifting them. To avoid sudden drops or problems, grease any joints that squeak and check the height-adjust function. A survey of the sector in 2025 found that 78% of customers look at the condition of the pedicure seats first when judging cleanliness. Your chairs make more noise than your webpage.
Conclusion
Let's be honest: cleaning is the least fun part of working in a salon. But it's the part that makes people think highly of you. Clients might not see you cleaning footbaths, but they'll know when something isn't right. And so will the people who check it. The tools you use to do beauty pedicures are the most important part of your service. Take care of it, and it will pay you back ten times over with improved performance, happier clients, and fewer compliance problems.
