Many tanning salons no longer provide “community” (loaner) goggles. Only three states require that eye protection be provided for free: New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. When sanitizing loaner goggles, please ensure that you are following these steps to prevent spreading disease in your salon.
1 Gloves must be worn while mixing cleaning solutions. It’s very strong in its concentrated form and can irritate skin. Mix exactly according to directions; too little and you spread pinkeye; too strong and you damage goggles … or someone’s eyes!
6 Store in a clean, protected container with a lid to avoid airborne contaminants.
7 Dispose of solution each night and re-mix fresh each morning; solution must be replaced AT LEAST every 24 hours. To be prepared for inspector visits, it’s a good idea to keep a log of when solutions are mixed.
