In order to minimize your turnover time between clients, preparation is key. Make sure to have a supply of clean linens including massage sheets, face cradle covers, blankets, and towels readily available. You should have at least one set of table linens and multiple towels for each client you will see that day. Also be certain to have an EPA approved disinfectant on hand as well as a sealable storage for soiled linens.
Begin by covering the massage table or the warmer and padding on the massage table with a heavy-duty table protector. Cover your face cradle, arm rests, leg rests, bolsters or any other area of the table your client will touch with disposable covers. Then prepare the table and accessories with linens of your choice.
In between clients, simply remove the soiled linens and place in an airtight container. Disinfect the plastic sheet over the massage table as well as any other exposed areas of the table with an EPA-approved disinfectant. If a table protector is not used, clean the massage table with soap and water and wipe it down with disinfectant. Finally, replace the disposable covers and linens.
