Every club is different, but ours has wipes by the DJ that we grab before going up. We then leave them on the stairs and the security throws them out. I worked at a different club where there was a spray bottle and paper towels at the stage.
The clubs I worked at all had a spray bottle of alcohol & a rag. My home club in Tx had to have sm prodding b4 they would keep these supplies at each of the poles instead of just the main one. One nite there was absolutely no alcohol in the club at all -- it was nude, so BYOB, & the shipment of rubbing alcohol was a day late for whatever reason. I ended up getting a half-litre of cheap grain alcohol out of the medical bag I keep on my car & filling the spray bottle w/ that, & the mgr even spotted me a $10 to replace it when he learnt where it came from.
Apparently I'm a dirty stripper, because I don't clean the pole. Girls aren't rubbing their coochie on it directly, and I just don't see what's so bad about letting it be. Is there some sort of stripper virus I'm unaware of that I can get from a dirty pole?
Idk about any virus but I know you can catch scabies (a non STD skin disease) and other enveloped viruses like chlamaydia or goneoreah (enveloped just means it lives in a shell of the host cell) and so long as they are still wet on the pole or not killed with alcohol and it comes in contact with any of your lady parts, you can catch it. Also you got a worry about just slipping in general via someone else's sweat being left on it.
My house mom told me it's not just the poles you got a worry about it's the chairs in the dressing room. She even gave me a towel to sit on because someone caught herpes a while back from the chairs. Just something to keep in mind. The chairs out on the floor aren't so bad because ppl with clothes get in and out of them all the time and usually end up wiping whatever was on there off with their own clothes! (gross I know)
You never know what other girls have, and if they do have something they wouldn't tell anyone else anyway either out of embarrassment, or simply because they don't give a fuck.
With all the cons being said, the plus side is that bacteria don't really grow on metal surfaces because their cell walls are usually positively charged and metal usually has a negative charge, so they are repelled or die!!
I hope this helps!!!
P.S. - I just took microbiology at my college and I got the highest grade in the class and I'm also in nursing school, so I promise I didn't just pull this out my ass (PUN PUN PUNNNNNNNN!!! LOL)
There are a couple of girls at my club that will clean the pole before starting their stage set. They just take a paper towel with some hand sanitizer on it and wipe the pole down, then toss the paper towel out of sight for their show. I'm not sure what cleaning materials you have in mind, but anything more than a paper towel/rag would look pretty strange.
I've worked in clubs that provide spray bottles filled with cleaning spray and rags or paper towel. They usually keep them by the stage and if not, it's pretty common to see girls waving down the DJ or another dancer to go and grab it. At my current club, the buss boys will often clean the stage/poles if asked.
I personally don't do a lot of pole tricks, so I unless the pole/ground it excessively dirty, slippery or I've seen someone doing nude pole tricks (which no one does at my club, thankfully) I won't bother (I just douse my hands/arms in hand sanitizer or wash them with soap after my stage set).
My clubs all kept a spray bottle and rag on the side of the stage and each girl would clean it at the beginning of her set.
Just don't be like me and and accidentally spray some poor guy right in the eye instead of the pole. looked painful and I felt soooooo bad.
@ audrey.mtl also if other girls are oiling or lotioning up b4 getting on stage, that crap gets all over the floor & the pole & makes them slippery. You pretty much need smtg strong like alcohol to take it off.
The nude club I worked at had a rule against pole tricks while starkers, you had to have on at least a t-back but there were sm really nasty girls who did it anyway. Even if whatever bacteria they have down there is repelled or killed by the metal charge like Jade said, I don't want to deal w/ sm slag's snail-trail mucking up the pole :ill:
I clean the pole before I go on stage more because it gets slippery from sweat, body oils, lotions, tanning shit, whatever and I do a lot of pole work when I'm on stage. If it's slippery I have a hard time doing my pole tricks and I prefer them over floor work. I've never fallen or had anything disastrous like that happen, but there have been times when I've started climbed and realized I wasn't going to be able to get up there cause it was so damn slippery.
I work at a nude club but all the girls I work with are pretty careful about not letting their vags touch the pole... still, you never know what could be passed on and I've gotten bacterial infections and whatnot while working at nude clubs so it's better to be safe than sorry.
And yeah, we just have rags and alcohol. Not every girl at my club does it but a lot do.
Colds, flu, norovirus, staph, e-coli...The list goes on and on. Some infections or viruses require very little contact for transmission, such as norovirus where only 18 individual germ cells are required to cause illness in otherwise healthy people.
My club keeps a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and a bar towel at each stage. I wipe down the pole before performing and spray my hands after.
Usually spray bottle and a rag. I always have hand sanitizer with me though. I don't do pole tricks and I still wipe that pole down. You never know what people have.
thank you very much ladies! :D <3 <3
