Med spas blend clinical care with luxury — but if your spa isn’t spotless, clients notice. Beyond appearances, sanitation is a non-negotiable part of compliance, client safety, and protecting your high-end equipment. That’s why having the right cleaning supplies on hand is just as important as the treatments you offer.
In this guide, we’ll break down exactly what your med spa needs to stay clean, compliant, and client-ready — every single day.
Why Cleaning Matters More in Med Spas
Unlike standard day spas, medical spas perform clinical procedures like injectables, microneedling, and laser resurfacing. This means your environment must meet clinical cleanliness standards — often dictated by OSHA or state health boards.
The wrong disinfectant can damage delicate treatment beds or void equipment warranties. Meanwhile, missed spots can lead to poor reviews… or worse, health violations.
That’s where the right checklist — and the right supplies — come in.

Key Product Qualities to Look For
When sourcing cleaning supplies for med spas, prioritize:
- EPA-registered disinfectants
- Residue-free formulas (especially for expensive chairs or acrylic devices)
- Non-corrosive wipes safe for repeated daily use
- Fragrance-free or hypoallergenic options for sensitive clients
Many med spas rely on products like SONO Disinfecting Wipes because they’re equipment-safe, hospital-grade, and residue-free — all without harsh chemical odors.
