Spa sanitation has been one of the hottest topics in our industry in recent memory due to COVID-19 concerns. It affects everyone, literally. Remember the panic when you couldn’t find toilet paper? This is now happening with cleaning supplies. On top of that, is the effects these products have on the environment. With unprecedented supply chain issues, and priority positioning of disinfectants in hospitals, it’s getting harder to find the disinfectants and cleaning supplies spas have been so accustomed to employing. Now, that begs the question, if spas can reopen for business, how is it done safely, personally, environmentally ethically, and efficiently? The answer may be alternative cleaning methods. So, let’s chat about what those alternatives could be, how they can be effective, and, of course, how to implement these methods to suit the spa’s needs.
