10 Genius Hacks to Get Rid of Monomer Smell!
The strong smell of monomer can be overwhelming in any nail salon or studio, but you don't have to put up with it! With a few tricks, you can create a fresher, more inviting space for both you and your clients. Let's go over 10 genius hacks to prevent and get rid of monomer smell.
1. Use a Dappen Dish with a Lid
Seal in the scent by using a dappen dish with a lid when not in use. This simple hack is highly effective in reducing the amount of monomer fumes that escape into the air. Keeping your monomer covered when not in use can significantly cut down on the smell. The Kiara Sky Dappen Dish is made of 100% Glass and comes with a lid that locks in the fumes and looks chic while doing so.
2. Add Scented Monomer Drops
Combat the harsh smell of monomer with Scented Monomer Drops. These drops neutralize the odor of monomer and help mask it without affecting the performance of your acrylics. A few drops can make a world of difference, leaving your salon smelling fresh and pleasant. The Kiara Sky Scented Monomer Drops are available in 3 scents to provide your clients with an aromatherapy experience: Fresh + Clean, Lavender, and Cotton.
3. Maximize Ventilation
Proper ventilation is key. Open windows and doors, and use fans to circulate fresh air and expel fumes. Good airflow helps disperse the monomer smell, ensuring a safer and more comfortable environment.
4. Invest in a Dust Collector
A dust collector is a game-changer for improving air quality. By capturing dust and fumes, it reduces the overall odor in your salon. Using a powerful fan like the Kiara Sky Beyond PRO Dust Collector with 120,000 RPM gives you an extra layer of comfort by reducing both fumes and dust! For an added bonus, place a few drops of essential oil on the Disposable Filters to combine scent masking with a touch of aromatherapy.
5. Use Air Diffusers and Fans
Air diffusers with essential oils can spread a delightful aroma throughout your salon. Paired with fans, they help to evenly disperse the scent and freshen the air, making your workspace more inviting.
6. Keep Your Salon Spotless
Regular cleaning is a must. Wipe down surfaces, clean tools, and dispose of waste promptly, especially monomer-soaked cotton rounds or paper towels. Keeping these outside of your salon or locked in a trash can will minimize the scent. Remember, a tidy salon not only looks professional but also helps prevent the buildup of smelly residues.
7. Try Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal is excellent at absorbing odors. Place small containers around your salon to naturally neutralize the monomer smell. It's an effective and eco-friendly solution for maintaining fresh air.
8. Use High-Quality Monomer!
Using high-quality, low-odor monomer will significantly reduce the smell. Cheap monomers or MMA monomers have a strong odor that takes over your space and is hard to get rid of. Use a high-quality monomer like the Kiara Sky EMA Monomer to minimize the monomer odor and provide your clients with the best experience.
9. Install Air Purifiers
High-quality air purifiers with HEPA filters are fantastic for capturing small particles and odors. They continuously clean the air, reducing the concentration of monomer fumes and providing a healthier salon environment.
10. Use Air Fresheners
Add a touch of ambiance and freshness with air fresheners. Choose light, pleasant scents that complement the atmosphere of your salon without being overpowering.
Don't let the smell of monomer hold you back. By implementing these 10 genius hacks, you can create a fresher, more inviting nail salon that your clients will love.
