What should be included as part of proper tanning bed maintenance?

Regularly replacing bulbs is an essential aspect of proper tanning bed maintenance because the bulbs lose their intensity over time. This loss can lead to inconsistent tanning results for clients, as well as potential safety issues, such as inadequate UV exposure and an increased risk of skin damage. Ensuring that the bulbs are replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations helps maintain the effectiveness of the tanning bed and promotes a safe, enjoyable experience for users.

In contrast, infrequent cleaning can lead to hygiene issues, neglecting to check timers might result in improper exposure times, and using expired sunscreen does not align with safety practices necessary for protecting the skin during tanning sessions. All of these practices would detract from the overall quality and safety of the tanning services provided.
