As pandemic regulations continue to lift throughout the country, business owners are looking for ways to quell consumer fears as they are returning to communal spaces. One such area many are more than ready to return to is the gym. With both fitness-minded regulars and post-pandemic newbies looking to get into consistent workout routines, it’s more important than ever that gyms have a strong sanitary footprint to ease clients back into the workout space. What gym cleaning services will match the battle against sweat and germs?
Professional gyms have such specific setups, services, and equipment offerings that they are one of the most difficult experiences to replicate from home. At-home workout routines exist in spades, but few consumers can capture the full equipment and space spread of a fully stocked gym. Which is exactly why so many are ready to return in person, but want to be certain that the space they’re returning too is free from microbes and germs.
And it’s part of the nature of having such a unique space that makes it so important that the gym remains clean and free from microbial growth, because the primary purpose of the gym as a space is the regular, communal utilization of their specialized equipment. This means the vast majority of items and areas within the gym are high-touch surfaces by design, which leads to these having a higher potential to collect germs and bacteria.
Furthermore, as gym-goers work out and complete rep-after-rep, session-after-session, the equipment that’s used becomes covered in perspiration. Most gyms have a “wipe after use” policy, but the quick swab applied by a worn-out gym-goer isn’t enough to fully disinfect and protect that used surface from microbial invasion.
With Gym Cleaning Services, Disinfectant Falls Short
Many business owners have turned to using commercial chemical disinfectants to clean their surfaces in masse. But while these chemical cleaners may kill bacteria and germs on surfaces if used correctly, the potent chemical mixtures can also pose serious risk to human health.
Many of the chemicals used in commercial disinfectants have not been fully tested and vetted in human trials. However, a limited number of studies conducted on animal subjects has found that exposure to one of the major ingredients in chemical cleaners induced lung disease, shortness of breath, nasal bleeding, and other respiratory issues in the short-term. The long-term effects of exposure are less documented.
If gym owners continue to use harsh chemical cleaners to disinfect their equipment and spaces, it could pose a health risk to their employees and members, as well as damage the equipment. And for a space dedicated to fitness and wellness, this exposure becomes particularly troubling.
Antimicrobial Coating as an Effective Cleaning Agent for Gym Equipment
One alternative is an antimicrobial coating that lasts longer, and works differently, to provide a more effective level of disinfection for gym equipment and shared spaces.
Other cleaning agents are generally aerosolized using electrostatic sprayers, to speed up the distribution of the agents. But this can cause potential respiratory issues in addition to the side effects of the cleaning agents themselves if the chemicals are inhaled. Our treatment method uses a unique application process that works by bonding directly to the surface the treatment is applied to through a mechanical mode of action.
This allows the treatment’s molecules to link with the adjacent molecules, coating the surface and forming a barrier on the treated surface. Once this barrier is formed, MicrobeCare™ draws in microbes with positively-charged nitrogen, and ruptures the pathogens with a long carbon chain.
Because of the specific type of bonding we use, the treatment remains effective for longer periods of time. This allows gym owners to employ less frequent applications while still achieving greater levels of protection from bacteria and germs — once every six months, rather than every few hours or days for other antimicrobial solutions.
