Clean and Safe: The Ultimate Guide to Disinfecting Gyms

Gyms can be a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses, which is why it is important to regularly clean and disinfect all gym surfaces. This includes gym floors, mats, and athletic equipment. At Matguard, we offer a variety of products that can help you maintain a clean and healthy gym environment. In this post, we will cover the best practices for cleaning your gym and how to effectively use our disinfecting gym wipes, mops, and other products.

Disinfecting Gym Wipes: The First Line of Defense

The first step in cleaning your gym is to wipe down all surfaces with disinfecting gym wipes. These wipes are specifically designed to kill bacteria and viruses on gym equipment, mats, and floors. Our Athletic Equipment Surface Wipes are heavy-duty and contain a quaternary ammonium compound that effectively disinfects surfaces. These wipes are also large enough to clean multiple pieces of equipment with one wipe, saving you time and money.

When using disinfecting gym wipes, it is important to follow these steps:

  1. Use a new wipe for each piece of equipment or surface.
  2. Wipe the surface thoroughly, making sure to cover all areas.
  3. Let the surface air dry before using the equipment or mat.
  4. By following these steps, you can ensure that all surfaces in your gym are properly disinfected and safe for use.

Cleaning Gym Floors: Mops and More

In addition to disinfecting gym wipes, it is important to regularly clean gym floors. Sweeping and mopping floors can help remove dirt, dust, and debris that can accumulate over time. At Matguard, we offer a variety of products to help you clean and maintain your gym floors.

Our Matpro by Matguard Beast Series Starter Kit is designed to make cleaning gym floors quick and easy. The kit includes a mop with a heavy-duty scrubber pad and a 360-degree swivel head, making it easy to reach all areas of your gym. The mop head is also removable and washable, so you can reuse it multiple times.

To use the Matpro by Matguard Beast Series Starter Kit, follow these steps:

  1. Sweep the gym floor to remove any loose debris.
  2. Fill a bucket with water and add a cleaning solution of your choice.
  3. Dip the mop into the bucket and wring out excess water.
  4. Use the mop to clean the gym floor, making sure to cover all areas.
  5. Rinse the mop frequently and replace the cleaning solution as needed.
  6. By using the Matpro by Matguard Beast Series Starter Kit, you can effectively clean your gym floor and keep it looking like new.

Cleaning Gym Mats: A Crucial Step

Gym mats are an essential part of any gym, but they can also be a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. To prevent the spread of germs, it is important to regularly clean and disinfect gym mats. Our Athletic Equipment Surface Wipes are effective for cleaning gym mats, but for a deeper clean, you may want to use a disinfectant spray.

Our Matguard Disinfectant Spray is specifically designed for use in gyms and other athletic facilities. It is a broad-spectrum disinfectant that kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses on contact. To use the spray, simply spray it on the gym mat and let it air dry. For best results, use the spray after wiping down the mat with a disinfecting gym wipe.

Cleaning Gym Floor Mats:

Gym floor mats can be a challenge to clean, but with the right tools and techniques, it is possible to keep them looking like new. Here are some tips and tricks:

  1. Use a vacuum to remove any loose debris from the mat.
  2. Spot clean any stains with a disinfecting gym wipe or a disinfectant spray.
  3. Use a damp mop to clean the entire mat, making sure to cover all areas.
  4. Let the mat air dry before using it again. 

If you have a large number of gym floor mats to clean, you may want to consider using our Matpro by Matguard Beast Series Starter Kit with the mop and heavy-duty scrubber pad. This can help make the cleaning process faster and more efficient.

Maintaining a Clean and Healthy Gym Environment

In addition to regular cleaning and disinfecting, there are other steps you can take to maintain a clean and healthy gym environment. Here are some additional tips:

  1. Encourage gym members to clean equipment before and after use with disinfecting gym wipes.
  2. Provide hand sanitizer and encourage members to use it frequently.
  3. Use our Matguard Antiseptic Body Wipes to keep gym-goers clean and fresh during their workout.
  4. Post signs reminding gym-goers to wash their hands regularly and stay home if they are feeling sick.
