Create a clean, designated area for the implements and supplies used throughout your services while reducing disposable waste in your treatment room. SMA stands for Sanitation Maintenance Area. State licensing boards commonly require beauty professionals to maintain a designated clean or sanitary area for service-ready implements and supplies. Exact terminology and setup requirements vary by state, but the reusable Rebel Wax SMA offers a professional, disinfectable way to create and clearly define that space. Place it on your countertop, workstation, tray, or wax cart to hold clean items such as body-waxing sticks, tweezers, brow scissors, cotton rounds, fan brushes, applicators, and other supplies needed during a service. Traditionally, beauty professionals have created this area using disposable dental bibs or paper towels that must be thrown out and replaced between clients. The Rebel Wax SMA is reusable, disinfectable, and machine washable, helping you significantly reduce single-use waste while maintaining a clean, organized, and professional treatment-room setup. The Original Rebel Wax SMA Founder Bree Mesquit and her husband created the original reusable Rebel Wax SMA to give beauty professionals a better alternative to lining their workstations with disposable dental bibs and paper towels. It became part of Rebel Wax’s first product line and helped introduce reusable, disinfectable SMAs to the professional beauty industry. Today, it remains one of the products closest to our hearts and one of the simplest ways to make your treatment room more functional, sustainable, and uniquely yours.

Clean away any remaining visible debris. Apply CaviCide according to the product-label directions. Keep the surface visibly wet for the complete 3-minute contact time. Wipe with a clean disposable towel or allow it to air-dry as directed on the CaviCide label. Machine Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle Use a mild detergent Do not use bleach or fabric softener Air-dry flat Do not place in the dryer Do not iron Allow the SMA to dry completely before storing or using it again Important Vinyl-Care Notice: Do not use a Magic Eraser or another abrasive household sponge, as it can dull or damage the vinyl surface. Rebel Wax also recommends avoiding blue BARBICIDE and other colored disinfectant solutions on our vinyl products. To help preserve the original color, especially on lighter vinyl, use clear CaviCide according to its label directions. Always verify and follow your individual state licensing board’s current requirements for sanitation maintenance areas and the cleaning, disinfection, storage, and handling of implements and supplies.
