To clean and sanitize stationary gym equipment, it’s important to follow a few key steps to ensure both hygiene and the longevity of the equipment…

Start with Wiping Down the Surfaces
Begin by using a microfiber cloth to remove dirt, dust, and sweat from the equipment. This will help prepare the surface for deeper cleaning. Be gentle to avoid scratching the surface.

Use the Right Cleaner for Different Materials
For the frame, handles, and non-fabric parts, spray a non-toxic cleaner or wood-safe cleaner on the cloth, not directly onto the equipment. This reduces the risk of moisture getting into sensitive parts. For upholstery or padded areas, use a mild soap-and-water solution or a cleaner specifically for those materials. Always check the product to make sure it’s safe for the type of material.

Disinfect High-Touch Areas
After cleaning, apply a disinfectant to the areas that are touched most often, like handles, seats, buttons, and footrests. Allow the disinfectant to sit for a few minutes to ensure it kills any bacteria or viruses. You can also use wipes with disinfectant properties if you prefer.

Focus on Tight Spots
For areas like footrests, pulleys, or cables, use a microfiber cloth or small brush to clean hard-to-reach spots. This ensures no dirt or germs are left behind.

Dry Everything Thoroughly
After cleaning and sanitizing, make sure to dry all surfaces completely to avoid any moisture buildup, which can lead to rust or other damage.

By following these steps, you can ensure your gym equipment stays clean, sanitized, and in good working condition.
