Gyms cleaning, step by step
Cleaning in these areas where sports are practiced, in closed spaces, must be a priority for any business of this type.
Similarly, as gyms have grown in popularity, their cleaning needs have increased: proper ventilation, clean bathrooms and showers to perfection, and to top it off, sweat can transmit viruses or bacteria.
How do I deep clean my gym?
Cleaning must be meticulous, as we highlight below, for all we discussed above.
1. Cleaning frequency and schedule
Before we break down how to clean the gym? We must know how often to clean it. Despite being regularly used, these facilities need frequent cleaning. They can be difficult to maintain regularly in terms of cleanliness and ventilation.
For this reason, the ideal is to prepare a calendar or daily planning with the people employed in the cleaning and the areas in which it is going to intervene. You should be familiar with access points, lockers, common areas, classrooms, machines, and showers. We recommend it carrying out gym deep cleaning at certain times during the day; closing some areas where you are going to intervene, to guarantee the success of the tasks.
2. ventilation key
Before cleaning the space, ventilation of the space is key. Not only because bad odors accumulate (sweat, for example), but because the renewal of the air will expel the pathogens that live inside from space.
3. Yes: we carry out the cleaning by zones
There are 5 areas, in the following order, that should be a priority for cleaning:
- machines. All users will intensively use them throughout the day, depositing sweat in many key points. The main cleaning task is to disinfect seats , pedals, screens… Of all the machines and their nooks and crannies.
- showers. The area surrounding the showers is delicate. 90% of users, after exercising, take a shower. This is where all the sweat and body dirt accumulates. The cleaning of screens, taps, doors, shower trays or corners must be intense, using products such as bleach, which eliminate bacteria, viruses and fungi. It is also important to consider the humid environment in this area.
- Changing rooms Here there is a crossroads of people: those who arrive clean, those who shower to play sports and come out clean… A great movement of people and conditions , of dirty and clean clothes (stored in the lockers), etc. Disinfection should also be promoted in these areas, with special attention to common objects (mirrors, dryers, padlocks…).
- Toilets. The cleanliness of the bathrooms is another area to monitor. We should thoroughly clean them with bleach and air fresheners.
- Meeting rooms. These areas must be regularly cleaned. Special attention to auto-vending machines, backrests, chairs or tables. In addition, we must scrub the floor with water and disinfectant.
