massage and bodywork professionals

a community of practitioners

I have been working for my current employer for over 7 yrs. Recently I left my full time position to part time, in that time of me leaving and only working part time, I have noticed really unapplaudable behaviors within massage ethics we all should hold true by. This company is a major franchise in the massage industry and they allow their ethics to go to the way side which in turns create a very unprofessional and not so clean environment for me, other therapists or any current clients. I know when you fill cream containers to clean the spoon every time, I know to sanitize and clean the hot towel cabbies and all surfaces after every massage, I know to properly clean hot stone after every client & empty out the water, I know not to make hot towels in the sink that is used to also clean dishes of employees, I know to clean the bottles/container after every massage, I know that washing linens with out bleach is not healthy, but do high end corporate franchises understand that the price of making money continually will soon fail if your not servicing your clients in an clean establishment?
My deepest worry is for myself, the other therapists and the clients of our community. They have their protocol for hot stones, only to spray a natural antimicrobial on the stones while in the water after every client. This is a facility that pushes out 100+ clients a day...would you go there?? and further more the clients and the community DO NOT KNOW that these dangers are present.
What would you do in this situation?
