You should never use any over the counter cleaner because many contain ammonia which can cause clouding on your acrylic or premature aging. Only use a pH nuetralizing disinfectant and be sure to mix it according to the directions. The best selling tanning bed cleaner is Australian Gold's pH Nuetralizing Disinfectant. A 32 oz bottle will dilute to get you 16 gallons of the cleaner and it runs around just $11 a bottle. Well worth it especially when you consider the cost of replacing an acrylic.
Most tanning bed manufacturers offer a special cleaner to clean your tanning bed with. Spray it on, wipe down thoroughly, and make sure you get BOTH sides of the tanning bed.
You may have an allergy to the sanitizer used to clean the tanning bed
Use a tanning bed sanitzer, or a product that is specifically designed to clean a tanning bed. Look for a product that includes a deodorizer, a fungicide, a virucide and mildew stat. For convenience sake, find a no-rinse product that is pH balanced.

Getting a safe tan from a tanning bed may be somewhat of an oxymoron. However, if you are determined to use a tanning bed, limit your time in the tanning bed and ensure your salon follows FDA regulations.
Nowhere. A tanning bed uses UV lamps.
Canopy tanning beds consist of a canopy with many UV lamps mounted onto it, it does not require you to lie down and be isolated like the regular tanning bed, with a canopy tanning bed you can be in any comfortable position.
Yes...close the lid of the tanning bed to get the full effects of the tanning bulbs. Leaving the tanning bed open will not produce the desired effects. The tanning beds are designed to have the lid closed to tan your body evenly.
