A gym cleaning checklist starts with the surfaces that touch bare skin: bench pads, handles, grips, mats and locker room fixtures. Members wipe equipment after each use, and a professional crew cleans the floors, showers and restrooms after closing.
BizProClean offers gym cleaning services in Northern Virginia and Maryland, scheduled on evenings and weekends so machines and members are out of the way.

What the CDC Says About Gym Cleaning
The CDC advises cleaning shared equipment after each use and focusing on the surfaces that touch bare skin. It also says there is little evidence that fogging a whole room works better than wiping the right surfaces. Follow the label on every cleaner and disinfectant.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should gym equipment be cleaned?
After each use. The CDC advises cleaning shared equipment every time it is used, and a crew then cleans the whole gym after closing.
Is bleach safe on a rubber gym floor?
Keep bleach off rubber floors. Flooring makers list it among the products that damage rubber, so use a neutral cleaner.
Do gyms need to fog the whole room with disinfectant?
The CDC says there is little evidence that fogging works better than cleaning the surfaces people touch. Wipe those surfaces and follow the product label.
Can a gym be cleaned while members are working out?
Light upkeep can happen during open hours. Floor scrubbing and locker room cleaning are done after closing.
