Treatment Room Prep Checklist
The checklist (11 items)
Written as observable actions, so two trainers scoring the same shift land in the same place. In CrewSharp this is the Treatment Room Prep checklist in the Salon / Spa starter set, filed under Rooms, and every item here is editable.

What usually goes wrong
Disinfecting the bed and leaving the product wet for its full contact time are the critical items, and they get compressed when the previous service ran long. The pressure to save four minutes lands on exactly the step that must not be shortened.
The items a good total should not outweigh
- Disinfected the treatment bed and headrest
- Left disinfectant wet for its full contact time
When to sign someone off
A workable bar for this checklist: no critical items missed, a score above a line you set for Treatment Room Prep specifically rather than one number for the whole building, and observed on more than one shift with at least one of them busy. Then date it, so it can expire.
That last part is the one people skip. A sign-off with no date cannot be re-checked, which means a year later you have a record that says somebody was ready once.
Checklists that pair with this one
Someone trained on this one most often covers these alongside it, which makes them the sensible second checklist to train.
Common questions
How long should a room turnover take?
Whatever your booked gap actually is, which is the point of scoring it. If turnovers consistently need longer than the gap, the problem is the booking template, and a scored checklist is how you find that out.
What should be on a treatment room prep checklist?
The 11 items above cover it: stripped and replaced all linens after each client, disinfected the treatment bed and headrest, left disinfectant wet for its full contact time, and the rest of the list. Keep it in that range. Fewer and a pass proves very little; many more and trainers stop finishing it during a real shift.
Which items should count as critical?
On this checklist, 2 items are marked critical: disinfected the treatment bed and headrest; left disinfectant wet for its full contact time. Missing one means not ready, regardless of the total score, because these are the failures that cannot be corrected after the fact.
Scoring it is the part that lasts
Run this Treatment Room Prep checklist on a tablet between rushes and CrewSharp keeps the rest: who is signed off, when it was last checked, and which item your crew misses most.
