Learn how often to replace Norvell overspray filters and latex-free gloves for hygiene and performance. Practical maintenance tips for spray tan professionals.
Quick answer
Replace Norvell overspray booth filters every 8–12 sessions or when they appear saturated, and change latex-free gloves between every client to prevent cross-contamination.
Why regular filter changes matter
Overspray filters trap excess mist during spray tanning. When they become clogged, airflow drops, the fan works harder, and overspray can settle on booth surfaces or drift onto the next client. A fresh filter keeps the booth clean and extends fan life.
The Norvell Overspray Reducing Floor Fan uses 16" x 16" x 1" replacement filters. Because the filter is disposable, there is no cleaning step — you simply swap in a new one when it is saturated.
Glove hygiene is non-negotiable
Latex-free gloves protect both the technician and the client from skin contact with spray tan solution. Reusing gloves between clients transfers residue, bacteria, and bronzer stains, which compromises hygiene and professional appearance.
Norvell Black Latex Free Gloves come in a case of 100 one-size-fits-all gloves. They are designed for single use, so budget for a fresh pair per client.
Frequently asked questions
- How often should I replace Norvell overspray filters?
- Replace the filter every 8–12 spray tan sessions, or sooner if you notice reduced airflow, visible saturation, or overspray accumulating on booth walls. A clogged filter forces the fan motor to work harder and reduces booth cleanliness.
- Can I wash and reuse a Norvell overspray filter?
- No. The Norvell replacement filters are disposable and designed for single use. Washing compresses the fibers and removes the electrostatic charge that traps overspray, making the filter less effective. Always swap in a new filter. Keep a spare 12-pack on hand so you never have to run a dirty filter between orders.
- Do I need to change gloves between every client?
- Yes. Always put on a fresh pair of latex-free gloves for each client. Reusing gloves transfers solution residue, bronzer, and bacteria. A case of 100 Norvell Black Latex Free Gloves gives you 50 client sessions worth of disposable protection.
- What if the gloves are one-size-fits-all? Will they fit comfortably?
- Norvell Black Latex Free Gloves are one-size-fits-all and stretch to fit most hand sizes. If you have very small or very large hands, test a pair first. The latex-free material reduces irritation for technicians and clients with sensitive skin. Order a single case to confirm fit before buying in bulk.
