3 Tips to Fight Indoor Air Quality Issues in Spas & Salons
                     3 Tips to Fight Indoor Air Quality Issues in Spas &
Salons
People come to spas and salons to look and feel good. But when the indoor air quality 
of your spa or salon is poor, your clients won’t feel comfortable. They will lose the urge 
to come to your spa, which will eventually affect your salon business.
In spas and salons, the use of nail polish, aerosols, hair dyes, and other chemicals are 
common, and usually, employees of the spa are accustomed to it. But don’t expect the 
same from your clients. Because of this pandemic, people are more sensitive about 
their health. Besides, some customers are allergic to these spa chemicals. As a spa or 
salon owner, you definitely don’t want to put your clients at risk, right?
So, what can you do to keep your clients safe and make them keep coming to your 
salon? Fortunately, there are some HVAC solutions to tackle these air quality and odor 
issues.
3 Signs Your Salon or Spa Requires HVAC Checkup
1.  Odor
In spas and salons, employees have to use chemicals to give their customers a certain 
look. But after using these chemicals, if you notice that the chemical odor is still 
circulating inside the salon, you need a ventilation upgrade right now.
Again, if the odor drifts from one room to another, you need a ventilation upgrade as 
well. Usually, when there is not enough airflow, the indoor air becomes stagnant and 
causes this type of odor problem.
2.  Fog in the Window
If you notice that the windows of your salon or spa are covered with water vapor, it’s 
because your salon has a humidity issue. As soon as you notice this issue, you should 
take quick action and solve this problem. Because due to humidity imbalance, your spa 
or salon can be the breeding ground for various microorganisms.
3.  Dust is Everywhere
When the HVAC air ducts of your spa or salon are filled with dust and other particles, 
you’ll notice dust on your furniture and salon chair. Generally, when you skip air duct 
cleaning for years, you face such issues. Contact your nearby air duct cleaning 
professional and have your HVAC air ducts checked as soon as you identify this issue.
3 Tips to Fight Indoor Air Quality Issues in
Spas & Salons
1.  Add an Air Purifier
By adding an air purifier to your spa, you can bring a drastic change to your indoor air 
quality. As there are different types of humidifiers available on the market, it’s 
recommended that you buy an air purifier that is specially designed for spas and salons.
These air purifiers come with HEPA air filters, which effectively eliminate dust and 
chemical odors. Again, if you’re concerned about the COVID-19, you can use an air 
purifier that has bipolar & ionization technologies. This type of air purifier not only filters 
the air but also sends charged particles that destroy the droplets.
While buying an air purifier, you’ll have to ensure that you’re not buying a home air 
purifier. Because air purifiers designed for homes cannot eliminate particles that are 
found in spas and salons.
2.  Install a Source Capture System
The best way to remove dust and chemicals from a spa is by installing a source capture
system in your salon or spa. This source capture system has the capability to draw 
around 50 cubic feet/minute airflow when it’s placed at least 6-inches away from the 
dust source. As a result, your employees and clients can have a cleaner breathing 
space free from dust and harmful chemicals.
For installing a source capture system in your spa or salon, contact your local HVAC 
professionals and install it professionally.
3.  Control Your Spa’s Humidity
Generally, when you have an oversized cooling unit, your AC will cycle frequently and 
cannot effectively remove moisture from the air. As a result, the moisture level shoots 
up and causing various problems.
When the humidity level in your spa is high, your clients will feel sweaty and 
uncomfortable. Besides, as I mentioned earlier, high humid areas are the breeding 
ground for various microorganisms. To keep the humidity level of your spa in check, you
can install a humidifier in your spa or salon.
