The Salon Solution Multipurpose Cleaner

The Salon Solution is a relatively new salon cleaning product range. These products are made using four basic ingredients, three of which are herbal, and the fourth is water.

Diluted at a ratio of 10:1 with water, this multipurpose cleaning agent can be used on literally everything!

Here are some of the reasons why the salon solution cleaners are worth investing in.

It is Super Economical

You will get the Salon Solution Salon & Spa Intro kit for as little as $9.95 for one liter of product concentrate along with a free spray bottle as well! Who says, green beauty needs to be heavy on the pocket?

As mentioned earlier, a 10:1 dissolution ratio means that one liter of the product will give you ten liters of cleaning solution, which you can use everywhere around your studio, salon or spa.

This product will eliminate the need to buy all sorts of different cleaning agents, thus saving you thousands of dollars over the years.

It is Multi-Purpose

As the name of the cleaner clearly suggests, this product is multipurpose and can be used literally everywhere in your salon. But if you want to narrow it down, here are some common ways you can use the salon solution multi-purpose cleanser in your salon and spa business:

• All surfaces and floors
• On your windows and mirrors
• On vinyl, leather and the cushioning and paddings of your salon furniture
• On your linens, laundry, and even as a pre-treatment for stains
• On salon equipment like flat irons and shears, and other equipment.

However, keep in mind that this product is only a cleaning agent and not a disinfectant.

Good for the Environment

The best thing about this biodegradable cleaning agent is that it’s made up of ingredients based on three different types of herbs and some water. Even the plastic containers are recyclable and can be used multiple times.

It Smells Fresh

Nobody wants to use a cleaner that will leave your salon smelling like the inside of a disinfectant factory. Not only is that unpleasant to smell, but it can also drive away your customers. This is why the fresh fragrance of this cleaner is a huge plus.

Safe for You and Your Staff

Lastly, an eco-friendly salon cleaning agent is safe for you, your employees, and your customers. Since the ingredients don’t include harsh chemicals, you don’t have to worry about adverse reactions such as skin rashes, etc. The product is non-irritating and hypoallergenic. Moreover, you and your staff wouldn’t be inhaling anything that would cause harm to your bodies in the long run.
