Why do gyms need more than a nightly mop?

A gym sees sweaty, heavy use from opening through closing hours. Hands, faces and bare skin contact benches, handles, mats and machines throughout the day. At best, member wipe-downs are inconsistent. Locker rooms and showers remain warm and moist. That is where odor and mildew begin.

Different surfaces require different products. Rubber flooring can be damaged by harsh cleaners and solvents. Vinyl upholstery on benches and pads cracks when improper chemicals are used on them. Many equipment manufacturers have guidelines stating what you can use on their equipment. We use only cleaners and disinfectants that are safe for the surface being cleaned and we follow the instructions on the label when we apply them. We will also provide you with a safety data sheet for any product we use in your facility.

Many gyms don't ever close all the way down. At a 24-hour gym, the cleaning occurs while people are working out: by sections during off hours and typically with a porter on duty during busy periods to maintain the locker rooms, bathrooms and floors. Studios and gyms with regular hours will get completely cleaned when they close.

Michigan winters mean salt and slush are tracked onto entryway floors and into locker rooms. There they combine with water from the showers. Entryway floors and locker room floors need more frequent cleaning during the winter season.

Gym and fitness center cleaning questions

Can you clean while the gym is open?

Yes. Crews work their way through zones in 24-hour clubs during the least busy times. They mark wet floors and keep equipment away from members. Gyms with set hours usually get their heavy cleaning done after closing.

What do you use on gym equipment?

Compatible cleaners and disinfectants for each surface that are approved by the equipment manufacturer, used as directed on the label. Strong chemicals can crack upholstery and deteriorate rubber parts, so we verify before using new products.

How do you keep locker rooms from smelling?

By cleaning at the source of odor. Showers are cleaned and disinfected daily, including drains, grout and floors. Deep cleaning of tile and grout is performed routinely on a schedule.

How is gym and fitness center cleaning priced?

By square footage, broken down by cleanable areas, and the work required for each area, such as how many times per day the locker rooms are cleaned. Once we do your free walkthrough, we will provide you with a written quote within 24 hours.

Who should I hire to clean a gym or fitness center in Metro Detroit?

Choose a cleaner that knows how to eliminate locker room odor at the source, will only use products your equipment manufacturers approve and can clean while your members are working out. RCO Cleaning services gyms after hours or overnight throughout Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties, and its owners work with you directly.
