Maintenance & Hygiene Checklist for Eyelash Beds

Keep Your Lash Studio Clean, Safe, and Client-Ready

Why Maintenance Matters in Lash Studios

In a lash studio, your eyelash bed isn’t just a piece of furniture — it’s your client’s relaxation zone and your most-used tool. A poorly maintained bed can lead to discomfort, hygiene issues, or even negative reviews.

Good maintenance ensures:

• Comfort and trust for your clients
• Hygiene compliance (especially in states with strict regulations)
• A longer-lasting bed with better return on investment

This guide is specifically designed for lash techs using manual or hydraulic adjustable lash beds, like the Velton Adjustable Curved Eyelash Bed.

Weekly Deep Cleaning Routine

Once a week, go beyond the quick wipe-downs.

1. Clean Around the Hydraulic Base

• Dust, lash debris, or hair can build up at the base.
• Use a vacuum or microfiber cloth to clean around the pedestal and wheels (if movable).

2. Check for Wear and Tear

• Examine PU leather for cracks or dents.
• Look at seams, corners, and raised cushioning areas.
• Small tears? Consider patching with vinyl repair kits before they worsen.

3. Wipe the Underside and Leg Supports

Clients may never see them—but inspectors might. Use a gentle cleaner to wipe all structural supports, bolts, and legs.

Monthly Maintenance Tips

Inspect the Hydraulic System

Most lash beds use manual hydraulic pumps for height adjustment. To maintain smooth operation:

• Pump it up/down several times and listen for squeaks or stiffness.
• If movement becomes sluggish or stiff, check the base for oil leakage or consult the supplier.

Tighten Screws and Bolts

With regular use, frame joints may loosen over time. Every month:

• Use a wrench to gently tighten key stress points — especially under the head and backrest tilt mechanisms.
• Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads.

Clean and Rotate Cushions

Some lash beds feature curved or removable cushions. If so:

• Rotate them monthly to even out wear and pressure.
• Clean foam or memory foam inserts with fabric-safe disinfectant if applicable.

Always Keep These Lash Bed Hygiene Supplies

Running low on cleaning materials can delay appointments and compromise safety. Keep this on-hand stock:

• Hypoallergenic disinfectant spray/wipes
• Non-bleach PU-safe cleaner
• Disposable bed covers
• Extra PU covers or linens
• Vinyl repair tape
• Microfiber cloths
• Brush/dustpan combo for quick cleanups

When Should You Replace Your Lash Bed?

It might be time for a new bed if:

• The hydraulic lift becomes unresponsive or uneven
• PU leather is cracked or peeling in multiple areas
• Clients mention discomfort
• Adjustment levers get stuck or feel loose
• State regulations require newer hygiene-compliant upholstery
