TANNING LAMPS KILL GERMS ON THE ACRYLIC SHEET?
Even though UV lamps are commonly used to kill germs on objects such as surgical instruments and hairdressers combs, the rays emitted from such lamps are of a very different wavelength than those of indoor tanning lamps. Germicidal lamps emit UVC. The energy from a low pressure lamp, which is transmitted through a units acrylic shield, is UVB and UVA. Therefore, it is unlikely that this light will destroy germs and bacteria which collect on the acrylic. Thorough cleaning of the acrylic shield with a proper disinfectant is absolutely essential after each use.
