Too often get calls from people saying their facial steamer just stopped working! This always seems to happen on Friday and have appointments booked through the weekend. It will take a week to get a new ship and now you have no choice but to spend more for expedited shipping, re-schedule appointments or make the dreaded bottom steam facial. Follow these simple steps to avoid having this happen to you and losing business.
1 - Buy your facial steamer from a reputable company.
If I had a dollar for every person who called me a prey to panic, saying: "I just broke the steam pot ... I need a replacement as soon as possible!" I usually ask them where they got it and proudly tell me about the big purchase that they found on eBay. This price may have looked good at the time, but now you can not find a replacement jar element, thermostat or heating to fix your steam. New Facial Steamers are not expensive these days. Always buy from a company that will be able to provide with basic spare parts. It will pay off in the end and it is only a matter of time before you need them.
2 - Use distilled water in the steam facial.
I know it can be tempting to just use tap water when you run out of distilled water, but do not do it! Most of the steamers of the face require distilled water for a reason. Tap water often contains impurities and other minerals that accumulate on the important parts of your steam, eventually causing the failure when you need it most. Couple this with the fact that a steamer with mineral deposits may end up spitting on the customer's face hot water, causing embarrassment, a repeat customer, and a potential cause. Distilled water is purified through a rigorous brewing process and condensed into a clean container. The use of distilled water may not be the cheapest, but it's worth it when you consider the steaming time and face customers.
3 - Clean the facial steamer regularly.
To keep the facial steamer in terms of peak performance, be sure to clean it regularly and follow these simple guidelines. You should never leave water in the pot all night. Be sure to empty the jar and let it dry, fill with fresh distilled water before your next use. Deposits build up at the end, so as to perform a solution of water and vinegar through your steam once a month or more depending on how the user gets.
Put 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in the jar filled with distilled water. Turn on the steam and let the steam machine for 30 seconds, but do not turn on the ozone light if you have one. Turn off your facial steamer and let sit for 15 minutes to allow the vinegar solution to do his job. Do not leave more as it can corrode the heating coils, if left to sit too long. Finally, drain the steam and fill with fresh distilled water. Even in this case, the steam and heat to work for about 10 minutes.
This process should be done by client rooms or enclosed spaces, such as the vinegar solution can create a very pungent odor when heated. If the steam still has a smell of vinegar, repeat the final step of the new race distilled water through the steam until the smell is eliminated.
facial steamer Maintenance properly can take some time, but it's worth it when you consider the consequences of lost revenue, lost customers, and the cost to replace it. Always buy from a reputable company so you can get those spare parts when you need them. I recommend having a glass jar 2nd at hand at all times just in case. Finally, you might want to invest in a mini facial steamer or laptop as a backup. It is not necessarily great for permanent installation in the treatment room, but it could save the day in a pinch.
