The Importance of your Filter Mats
Whether you rent or own the sunbeds in your salon, it is vital that you keep your filter mats clean. These play a huge role in preventing dust from circling through your sunbed. Your sunbed is effectively a giant hoover, when it is running it pulls air from the surrounding area to prevent it from overheating. Your filter mats help to prevent dust and grim being pulled into places it should not be, it is in the name, they act as a’filter’.
When your filter mats become clogged up with dust this will inhibit your sunbeds ability to pull in air, which in turn can cause your bed to store excess heat.
