5 Gym Areas That Are Dirtier Than You Think

Keeping your gym clean is essential for everyone’s health. While most people clean dumbbells and treadmills, some spots are often overlooked. Cleancation understands the importance of a spotless gym for both hygiene and customer satisfaction. Here are five areas that need extra attention:

1. Locker Room Benches

People sit on these benches and place sweaty towels and gym bags on them, creating the perfect environment for bacteria.

Solution: Clean benches frequently and encourage members to use a towel before sitting. Cleancation offers deep cleaning services to keep all surfaces sanitized.

2. Water Fountain Buttons

Many people press the button to drink water without washing their hands first. These buttons can carry more germs than a toilet seat!

Solution: Wipe them down regularly and encourage members to bring water bottles. Cleancation provides high-touch surface cleaning to keep these areas germ-free.

3. Exercise Mats

Yoga and stretching mats absorb sweat and dirt, potentially spreading skin infections if not properly sanitized.

Solution: Encourage members to wipe down mats before and after use. For a deeper clean, trust Cleancation’s professional services, including electrostatic disinfection, to effectively eliminate germs and bacteria, ensuring mats remain fresh and hygienic for every workout.

4. Weight Machine Handles

Many hands touch these handles, transferring germs and sweat throughout the day.

Solution: Wipe handles multiple times a day and remind members to sanitize before and after use. Cleancation ensures high-use areas receive proper sanitation.

5. Cardio Equipment Screens & Buttons

Treadmills, bikes, and elliptical machines have touch screens and buttons that harbor germs and bacteria.

Solution: Place wipes nearby and put up reminders for users to clean screens before and after use. Cleancation’s expert cleaning services help keep cardio equipment spotless and safe.
