T-spa MFG, LLC highly recommends the following cleaning regimen. You should always contact your
local governing agency for their specific cleaning and disinfecting requirements and regulations for
pedicure spas. For your
client’s safety, always use the regulations as a minimum standard for
cleaning and disinfecting. Combining your states standards with the regimen listed below will provide
your clients with a safe and healthy pedicure spa environment experience.
Routine maintenance
:
Powdered cleansers or abrasives are
NOT RECOMMENDED
. A clean towel or sponge are all that
are usually needed. A soft bristled brush may be used when excessive residue is present. Use a
mild soap and water solution to clean the upholstery, but do not over wet. Wipe dry with a clean
towel. No internal maintenance of the spa components is necessary. Remove clean jet caps and
spray with disinfectant after each use. For extra protection, our recommendation is that the system
be flushed daily or weekly depending on use. To flush the clean jet system, fill the spa with hot
water to just above the jets. Add disinfectant. Run whirlpool for 15 minutes, drain and then wipe
dry with clean soft cloth.
NOTE:
The use of oil-based products can build up in the whirlpool system, causing clogging in the jets.
Adherence to the above cleaning will minimize build up. Gulfstream Inc. does not recommend
the use of mineral oil-based products.
TESTING/FLUSHING FOOT SPA
After the foot spa has been installed, fill tub with water just above the jets. Carefully check for leaks at
the drain and motor mount. After checking underside for leaks, turn on system by pushing whirlpool
button and watch for leaks as water circulates. Let tub run full cycle. Open drain plugs for water
discharge.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE & USE
Cleaning or sanitizing is NOT disinfecting. According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), disinfecting occurs only
when there is a reduction of pathogenic microbes at 99.999%. Sanitizing is only a reduction of
99.9%. Cleaning of whirlpool pedicure spas requires surfactant and chelating detergents that are
low-foaming and have the ability to remove body oils, organic oil additives, mineral oil, skin cells,
nail clippings etc. that can accumulate both in the basin and the jets which may become a fertile
area for microorganisms to grow
