Tanning Beds
A tanning bed is a device that emits ultraviolet radiation so that the user can develop a cosmetic tan. Radiation in a tanning bed is emitted at a more concentrated rate than natural sunlight, so the darker skin tone is achieved more quickly.

What can you clean your tanning bed with?
You should never use any over the counter cleaner because many contain ammonia which can cause clouding on your acrylic or premature aging. Only use a pH nuetralizing disinfectant and be sure to mix it according to the directions. The best selling tanning bed cleaner is Australian Gold's pH Nuetralizing Disinfectant. A 32 oz bottle will dilute to get you 16 gallons of the cleaner and it runs around just $11 a bottle. Well worth it especially when you consider the cost of replacing an acrylic.

Can you lay on your stomach in a tanning bed?
lie down on your back then 5 mins l8r flip you body so your are on your stomac
Briar Carwell's edit:
The previous answer is incorrect for most modern beds.
It varies from salon to salon based on their equipment. Most tanning beds will be just that... beds. You will get in, pull the top down, and lay there for the duration of your visit. There are also stand-up booths where you will stand, and in most cases, hold on to two handles or hanging loops to raise your arms to avoid tan lines down your sides.
Also, every bed is different. Some beds/salons may have a button that you must push when you are ready to start. This button may be on the bed or on the wall beside it. Some places will give you a few minutes to undress, put your lotion on and get in the bed, then it will start when that timer reaches zero or you press the start button.
Part of a salon consultant's job is to show you how to use the bed, so if you are unsure, just ask :)

What are the discounts for tanning bed employees?
At my work all the girls who work at the tanning salon get free tanning. I'm sure it depends from salon to salon. The reason we get free tanning is so we can look tan, if a customer comes in to tan, and they see someone pale behind the desk, they will think the tanning beds at that salon don't work. Basically giving us free tanning makes us a walking billboard, someone will ask me where I tan and I will say my work name, and then they will go there because I look so tan. Simple
If you go tanning in a tanning bed and you are pregnant can it kill the baby?
The UV light from a tanning bed cannot harm the unborn baby. UV light doesn't penetrate deep enough.
BUT
Tanning while pregnant is not something you should because of the heat factor. Just like you should not go into a hot tub when pregnant...you should not tan when pregnant either. A tanning bed creates alot of heat...that heat can make you(and your baby) uncomfortable. Anything that makes your baby uncomfortable is something you want to stay away from...just to be safe.

I'm planning on going on a trip somwhere warm do you need to go to a tanning bed first?
No, no one NEEDS to go to a tanning bed. You should probably wear sunscreen if you have fair skin though.
Will tanning in a standup tanning bed harm the unborn baby?
No--tanning in a stand up bed is actually less harmful to a baby when you compare it to tanning in a lay down bed. Make sure to get a doctors consent before tanning in a bed while pregnant though.
