Your facial bed or massage table is one of the most important investments in your spa or clinic. With daily use, it’s essential to keep it clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition for every client. Proper care not only helps your equipment last longer—it also keeps your workspace looking professional and hygienic.
1. Know Your Upholstery: PU vs Silicone Leather
Different materials require different care:
-
PU leather (polyurethane) is soft and affordable, but more sensitive to alcohol-based cleaners and harsh chemicals.
-
Silicone leather (solvent-free) is more resistant to stains, heat, and disinfectants, making it easier to maintain and longer lasting.
At Urban Chill Shop, models like Oslo and Noosa use PU leather, while Yamba, Portland, and Milan feature premium silicone leather for easier maintenance.
2. Daily Cleaning Routine
After each client:
-
Wipe the surface with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution (neutral pH).
-
Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach—they can damage the surface over time.
-
Dry completely before placing new linens or disposable bed rolls.
-
Use protective covers or bed sheets during treatments to minimize direct contact with the upholstery.
3. Can I Use Alcohol to Clean My Facial Bed?
Yes — but only with care. Alcohol-based wipes can be used to disinfect small dirty spots or areas that come into frequent contact with clients (like headrests or armrests).
When using alcohol:
-
Use 70% isopropyl alcohol or lower.
-
Wipe only the affected area, not the entire surface.
-
Immediately dry with a clean soft towel to prevent drying or cracking.
-
Avoid daily use, especially on PU leather, as frequent alcohol cleaning may cause fading or stiffness.
For regular cleaning, mild soap and water remain the safest and most effective option.
4. Weekly Deep Cleaning
Once or twice a week:
-
Remove all linens and clean joints, hand remote, and pedal areas where oil or dust may accumulate.
-
Disinfect gently using wipes or sprays that are specifically safe for synthetic leather.
-
Inspect for loose screws, wiring, or frame movement to ensure safety and stability.
5. Protect Your Bed During Treatments
-
Use disposable bed rolls or fitted sheets when applying oils or creams.
-
For models with heating functions, avoid placing thick towels or pads that trap heat.
-
Keep sharp tools or metal accessories away from the surface to prevent scratches.
6. Long-Term Care Tips
-
Rotate usage among beds if possible to ensure even wear.
-
Cover when not in use, especially if your room gets sunlight exposure.
-
If storing for a long time, keep the bed in a dry, cool place with a dust cover.
-
For silicone leather, apply a water-based leather conditioner occasionally to maintain softness.
7. When to Replace
Even with the best care, most professional facial beds last around 5–7 years under daily use.
If you notice motor noise, unstable frames, or cracked upholstery, it’s a sign to upgrade.
