Maintaining a clean and hygienic workout space is essential for your health and safety. Here are some tips for keeping your home gym space hygienic:

Regular Cleaning Schedule

Set up a regular cleaning schedule for your home gym. Depending on the frequency of use, aim to clean and disinfect the equipment and surfaces at least once a week or after each use. If you have multiple people using the same equipment, it would be considerate to give the equipment a quick clean after each use, then a deeper disinfection schedule weekly. Your weekly clean may also include cleaning walls, mirrors, windows, and other surfaces that might not be cleaned after every workout.

 

Use Appropriate Disinfection Products

Make sure to choose the appropriate 4KLEEN cleaning and disinfection products suitable for different surfaces and gym equipment. Read the product labels carefully to ensure you’re using them correctly and effectively.

Wipe Down Equipment

After each workout session, spray and wipe down all gym equipment, including dumbbells, barbells, weight benches, and machines, with 4KLEEN disinfectant spray. Pay special attention to high-touch areas like handles and grips. If your workout uses boxing gloves or shin pads, you might like to give these a spray with 4KLEEN Sport Equipment Spray to keep odours at bay by removing bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Clean Flooring

If you have a gym mat or rubber flooring, clean it regularly with a 4KLEEN disinfectant spray to remove sweat, dirt, and bacteria. This will also help to maintain the longevity of your flooring.

Laundry Routine

If you use towels, workout clothes, gis, or cloth equipment covers, make sure to wash them regularly with SteriGENE laundry disinfectant to keep them fresh and germ-free.

Ventilation

Ensure proper ventilation in the gym area. Open windows or use fans to keep the air circulating and reduce moisture, which can lead to mold and mildew. Frequent ventilation and opening windows can also prevent stale smells in your home gym space.

Proper Storage

Have designated storage areas for gym equipment and accessories. Keeping things organised will make it easier to clean and prevent the buildup of dust and dirt. Having designated spaces for your equipment also makes it easy to find the equipment you’re looking for at each workout.

Personal Hygiene

Encourage everyone using the gym to practice good personal hygiene, such as wiping down equipment after use and using a clean towel during workouts. Washing your hands before and after your workout, and encouraging others to do the same, can help prevent bugs and illnesses from spreading through the home gym area, and throughout your home. 4KLEEN Hand Scrub is also fantastic for removing odours from your hands following a workout, especially if it involves boxing gloves.

Remember, a clean and hygienic home gym not only helps you avoid illness but also creates a pleasant and motivating workout environment. With 4KLEEN cleaning and disinfection products, you can be confident in maintaining a healthy and safe workout space.
