Managing Salon Chemical Smells---4 Ways To Provide Healthier Air

As clients become more heath conscious, clean air in your salon is a must

, not just for their sake but for yours as well. Here are 4 things you can do today that will keep your air fresher and the atmosphere in your salon more inviting.

Green Products---More people and earth friendly products are being introduced in an effort to cut down on the number of volatile organic chemicals released into the air in salons. Using these products will help attract customers who are concerned about the air that they are breathing when getting their hair and nails done.

Let your product representatives know that you want to products that do not contain or off gas formaldehyde, toluene, xylene and other heavy duty chemicals. They can be a great resource for finding products that will help keep the air smelling fresher while still producing the desired result for your customers.

One of the best ways to create a change in the industry is to show that there is a market for these types of products. Making these concerns heard at conventions is another important way to bring about a much needed change in the industry.

Proper Disposal---In the meantime, properly containing products once they are used can go a long way towards keeping odor down. Metal trash cans with lids are a good way to keep leftover chemicals from continuing to off-gas into the air.

Putting the tops on tight and storing the unused products in a room away from customers or in a metal cabinet can literally put a cap on the amount of fumes that can ruin air quality. Throwing away unusable bottles and containers outside at the end of each day can help the air smell fresher when you open the shop in the morning.

Putting towels, capes, and gloves in air tight plastic containers until they can be laundered is another way to stop fumes from seeping into the air.

Let Plants Help---Plants are amazing in what they can do for us aesthetically and environmentally. There are a number of indoor plants that not only look beautiful but are effective at taking out a lot of airborne chemicals.

The Peace Lily can remove formaldehyde, benzene and tricholoroethylene. It's a beautiful plant and produces a white bloom that is stunning. The Bamboo Palm is also go at filtering out benzene and tricholoethylene.

Flowering plants to consider include the Gerber Daisy (filters out benzene and trichloroethylene), Rhododendron which eliminates formaldehyde, and Red-edged Dracacena which can remove sylene, trichloroethylene and formaldeyde.

Filter The Air---Using a carbon-based air purifier is another proactive yet non-invasive way to clear VOCs from the air. This cleaner should emit zero ozone and/or ionized particles. Only fresh clean air should result from filtration.

A stand-alone unit is best because it allows you to maintain control over filtration regardless of the controls that may be set for your space, particularly if you do not own it. Being able to continuously remove the fumes from chemicals will give everyone associated with your salon, the best chance of remaining healthy.
