I've been asked to do a friends pedicure at home but was wondering what to use to soak her feet in? I would think a big bowl because you can sanitize it, but i know there is those plug in mobile foot baths. What are your thoughts on these? And what products would be best to sanitize them? :confused:
 
I bring an electric foot spa with me for mobile pedicures. I gets a good scrub and is sanitised between uses.

With a mobile foot spa, will I still be able to exfoliate the same etc?

theres no reason why you can't hun.....being mobile just requires a bit of thought prior to leaving your house and the art of being organised!! you quickly learn not to leave stuff at home!!!
 
Hi!

They sell brilliant blow up foot baths! Very easy to clean as its plastic, I swill mine out with bleach after use, and I use hard surface disinfectant and swill it before use - They keep the water nice and warm too! x

Like Jenn it was this sort of carting stuff about which led me to pretty much give up mobile work. I put disc out in my back eventually, had surgery and was laid up recovering for a long time. So take my advice if you can survive with a blow up one, sounds good to me!

That sounds really good ! Have you got a picture ? or is there one on a website somewhere ?

I do mobile pedicures in exactly the same way i would do one in salon. I have just bought a new footspa from argos its really light & has a removable splash guard, but a blow up one sounds even better :)

This ones form the US its similar to this only green and square, I use a bowl when mobile but I like the bowl by beverly hills which has disposable liners but it will set you back £50 there was some threads on it recently

Not a reply to the thread just a comment on your new look avatar fificharlie....different!!!!!:eek:
 
Thanks for all your help. :) I have seen those square blow up ones but wasn't sure about using one, didn't know if it would keep the water warm.

It really does keep it warm hun! Actually the first thing I noticed about using it!:)

Thanks Danger Mouse for posting the pic of the blowup footbath! xxx
 
I never thought of using a foot spa really! I always have used one of those buckets, well not buckets, don't know what they are?? You know those things that you put in your sick doing the wasking up? Ok I sound thick now maybe I should shut up! lol :irked: But I have a foot spa at home maybe I should start using it!!! Hmmm.....
 
Today 12:12 AMemmadI bring an electric foot spa with me for mobile pedicures. I gets a good scrub and is sanitised between uses.
Just wondering what foot spa you use? If you don't mind me asking.
