As the days get longer and the air feels fresher, spring is the perfect time for a deep clean. Salons and barbershops thrive on creating a welcoming, hygienic space for clients, and a seasonal refresh ensures high standards of cleanliness and safety. Whether you run a bustling city salon or a cosy barbershop, following essential health and safety measures protects both your clients and your reputation.
Deep cleaning: a seasonal essential
Spring cleaning isn’t just about dusting shelves—it’s about eliminating germs, improving air quality, and maintaining a professional standard. A thorough deep clean should include:
-
Sterilising Tools: Every comb, scissor, and razor must be properly sanitised between clients using a barbicide solution or an autoclave for metal tools.
- Refreshing Workstations: Wipe down chairs, mirrors, and counters with antibacterial sprays. Pay attention to often-forgotten spots like chair armrests and footrests.
- Air Quality Check: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent airborne particles from lingering. Air purifiers can help keep the atmosphere fresh.
- Floor Maintenance: Sweep and mop regularly to prevent hair build-up, which can be a slipping hazard.
