Disinfecting surfaces and exercise equipment is likely the first thing that comes to mind when you think about gym cleaning. While this is unquestionably an essential component of cleaning, it is not the only aspect that needs consideration.Here are 3 focal points for gyms to prioritise:

1. Cleaning Showers 

Have you ever seen the thick orange grime that coats the grouting and low-level areas in showers? Well simply said, that slime is merely the residue from body fat, and if not cleaned regularly this can cause Athlete’s foot. This fungal infection thrives in damp and warm environments. This is why it is incredibly important to ensure your facilities are clean and well-maintained before you start to lose out on potential and current customers. 

So how can you handle this problem? Hire a professional cleaning service that uses the correct equipment and cleaning products guaranteed to clean all types of dirt. At Rapid Clean, we have a wealth of experience in cleaning health clubs, golf clubs, gyms, leisure centres, theatres and other recreational facilities to a high standard. One of our leisure clients commented:

“Since employing the services of Rapid, there has been a marked improvement in the standards of cleanliness and presentation of the building. There has been an increase in the number of customers who would recommend Balham Leisure Centre citing that the building is ‘clean and has a modern feel’. This is a testament to the cleaning team who work tirelessly to achieve these very high standards.”

2. Sauna and Steam Room

How often do you look for dirt and grime in your steam room and sauna? The ideal time to check is when the heat is off and the room is warm. Examine the areas under the seats, the ceiling, the walls at head height, and the spaces between the seat grooves. If you have never addressed these areas, you will immediately see the same thick slime that consists of bodily fat in showers. Before you lose customers, it is vital that you deal with this situation. This requires specific cleaning methods and for the best results, it is recommended you use a professional cleaning service.

3. Washrooms and Changing Areas

Since changing rooms are perhaps the most frequently used area in the gym, it is crucial that you hire a professional cleaning service to maintain these particular areas regularly rather than depending just on your staff.

Rapid Clean will take care of all your demands and create an effective cleaning schedule to get these areas cleaned without interfering with regular activities.
