The safety and heath of my clients is my top priority. In response to the Public Health direction provided by The Occupational Safety and Heath Administration (OSHA), The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Washington State Department of Health (WADOH), I have taken time to review and update sanitation practices and procure the supplies needed to safely reopen after the government mandated shutdown. I will be going above and beyond all government requirements and industry standards.
Here is a description on the sanitation and safety processes within my space.
Here is a description on the sanitation and safety processes within my space.
|
All guests and visitors including myself are required to wash their hands before entering the office.
|
|
All surfaces, products and implements and the bathroom are disinfected with Citrus II Hospital Germicidal Cleaner at the beginning of the day. This product is on The EPA's List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2 and is effective in removing blood borne pathogens and bacteria.
|
|
Clients are booked a minimum of 15 minutes apart to ensure enough time to not cross paths and for me to sanitize all surfaces in the massage room and change table linens. Touch points around the office and bathroom are also sanitized with bleach wipes or Citrus II between guests.
|
|
Client intake includes screening for symptoms or contact with someone with symptoms within two weeks and other health conditions.
|
|
Appointments canceled due to health concerns will not be assessed the standard cancellation fee until further notice. In turn, I will reschedule/cancel appointments if I am feeling unwell, have a temperature above normal or have known exposure to any contagious illness.
|
|
Sheets and blankets are changed for each guest. Linen laundering is done in warm water with a mix of TheraPro Laundry Detergent and All Free and Clear laundry detergent. This laundering method is preferred to remove massage oil and is the recommended procedure by the CDC for laundering if someone is sick in the facility.
|
|
Your service provider will use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as appropriate. This might include gloves and a facial mask depending on the service provided. During massage or skin care appointments, I will wear an apron that will be changed as appropriate and laundered along the same guidelines as linens.
Clients can use PPE if desired while entering the office and/or during their service. It is currently required that both client and therapist wear a facial covering. Disposable masks will be available. Wearing a mask while in the face down position on the massage table, may be uncomfortable for some. Please communicate with your therapist if you need to remove or adjust any PPE during your service. |
|
End of day sanitation steps are the same as beginning of the day cleaning along with the steps taken between each guest and also includes vacuuming rugs, sweeping hard floors, removing linens in need of laundering and putting away all tools and supplies to make space ready for the next day.
|
I will update these procedures as required by law or recommendation by governing agencies and as circumstances evolve in the spa or massage industry around best health practices. Thank you kindly for your compliance and please ask any questions you may have by contacting me or at the start of your appointment.
