3 Key Focal Points for Cleaning in Leisure Centres

Suzanne Whitton • Jun 15, 2023

Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in leisure centres is paramount for ensuring the health and satisfaction of visitors. A clean and well-maintained environment not only promotes a positive experience but also contributes to the overall safety and reputation of the facility. 


We will explore three focal points for effective cleaning in leisure centres such as gyms, swimming pools, and sports halls, highlighting their significance in creating a welcoming and hygienic space for all.

Leisure Centre Cleaning

High-Traffic Areas


High-traffic areas in leisure centres are crowded with activity and require special attention to maintain cleanliness and minimise the spread of germs. These areas include entrances, reception desks, corridors, and common spaces where visitors gather. Thorough and regular cleaning of high-touch surfaces, such as door handles, handrails, and seating areas, is essential to reduce the risk of infections. Additionally, diligent floor maintenance, including sweeping and mopping, ensures the removal of dirt, dust, and debris, reducing slip and fall hazards. 


While in-house cleaning may seem like a viable option, engaging a professional cleaning company such as Rapid Clean, will enable you to get on with your area of expertise, safe in the knowledge that the cleaning is being looked after by experts. By leveraging advanced cleaning techniques and quality disinfectants, Rapid Clean ensures that germs and bacteria are effectively eliminated from high touch-points, reducing the risk of infections and creating a healthier environment.


Changing Rooms and Washrooms


Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in changing rooms and washrooms is of utmost importance in leisure centres. These areas directly impact the satisfaction and comfort of visitors and members. Thorough cleaning and sanitisation of high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, faucets, countertops and lockers, is necessary to eliminate germs and minimise the risk of cross-contamination. 


Adequate supplies of hand soap, sanitisers, paper towels, and toilet paper are crucial to promoting good hygiene practices among visitors. As part of our service to customers, we can proactively monitor stock levels, place orders, and promptly replenish these essential items as needed. This allows your staff to focus on other important aspects of maintaining an exceptional leisure centre.


Equipment and Facility Cleaning


Leisure centres often house a wide range of exercise equipment and facilities that require regular cleaning and maintenance. Effective cleaning protocols for exercise equipment, including handles, seats, and touchscreens, are crucial to minimise the transmission of germs and maintain a safe workout environment. Proper facility maintenance, including cleaning of common areas, gym floors, and studios, contributes to the overall cleanliness and visual appeal of the leisure centre. 


By focusing on the cleanliness and maintenance of these areas, leisure centres can provide visitors with a positive and enjoyable experience, ultimately contributing to customer satisfaction and loyalty.


Rapid Clean goes the extra mile by delivering comprehensive facility maintenance services and ensures a spotless and visually appealing environment. By partnering with Rapid Clean, leisure centres can have peace of mind knowing that their equipment and facilities are expertly cared for, prolonging their longevity and enhancing the overall cleanliness and professionalism of the centre.
