Cleaning of gyms and sanitation of tools

Here is a brief guide on how to clean gyms and sports facilities, from sanitizing bathrooms and changing rooms to clean tools and floors. Before going into the details, we remind you that there Ideal is to disinfect the equipment daily, thus avoiding that – through sweat – viruses and bacteria of all kinds proliferate, and that they infest the air with bad smells. Also, remember not to use disinfectant cleaners directly on machinery, especially electronic parts. Just spray a little product on a soft cloth and then pass it on the surfaces to be sanitized.

Sanitizing bathrooms and changing rooms to kill viruses and bacteria

Those who attend gyms and sports facilities will also evaluate the structure for the level of hygiene of the washbasins, toilets and showers. In fact, no one wants to get nasty infections, fungi or irritations due to dirt, which is why the cleaning company must guarantee a deep cleaning of floors and surfaces, eliminating all risks.

Here is a list of the cleaning and sanitizing activities of bathrooms and changing rooms that we carry out in sports facilities:

• elimination of dirt and hair on the floor ;
• cleaning of benches, mirrors and cabinets;
• sanitation of showers and toilets;
• removal of limescale and organic traces from showers and bathroom fixtures;
• cleaning the ventilation system.

Remember that – in this phase of Covid emergency management – access to bathrooms and changing rooms must be regulated, ensuring the spacing of at least 2 meters.

Clean the floors

Gyms and sports facilities can use floor coverings that are very different from each other and with different sensitivity to stains. For example, to clean the rubberized PVC floor, we use a broom with soft bristles that removes dirt and a soft cloth moistened with water and detergent, to remove the most difficult stains.

Cleaning  treadmills

The hygiene of these types of tools requires at least two daily operations, in order to guarantee the best hygienic and sanitary conditions and the good maintenance of the machines. Therefore – during each cleaning session – the attendant must remove any traces of sweat on the display, handles, and platform, eliminating the accumulated dust with a dry electrostatic cloth and wiping the surface with a damp cloth. Instead, on the platform, and – in particular – in the areas of the frame and the belt, it will be necessary to pass – first – the dust-catching cloth and – then – the damp one to remove all the dirt that could damage the machine.

Remember to clean treadmills but first unplug them from the electricity supply. In addition, periodically and with the assistance of whoever supplied you with the equipment, it will be necessary to check the engine compartment and take care of the lubrication and adjustment of the belt.

Sanitize weights and cardiovascular machines

It is not enough for customers to use the towel to avoid direct skin contact with the machine. This is why – to ensure an optimal level of hygiene – it is important that dumbbells, weights and fitness equipment in general maintain their cleanliness and sanitization every day. In fact, being handled by many people, the best way to reduce the risk of germs and bacteria proliferation is to use quality products, taking care to preserve the functioning of the equipment.

Hygiene as a key to success for gyms and sports facilities

If before Covid-19, hygiene was one of the factors that most influenced the choice of customers in terms of gyms and sports facilities, now it is even more so. Those who manage the sports facilities must have an eye for everything that is cleaning, disinfection and sanitation of the environments , without neglecting the quality ratio everything,or example, the costs of a cleaning company in Brisbane can be very variable depending on the different factors that influence it
