Fitness Center
Cleaning Supplies and Equipment
For fitness centers, maintaining a clean facility isn’t just about appearance: it directly affects safety, member satisfaction, and successful daily operations. Between the shared accessories and the diverse range of members that come through your doors, fitness centers require intentionally built cleaning routines.
Modern fitness cleaning programs are designed to work alongside staff and members throughout the day. From disinfectants formulated for frequent use to low-noise equipment that allows for daytime cleaning, today’s solutions help facilities stay consistently clean without interrupting workouts.
Elevate Your Fitness Center Cleaning Program Â
We help fitness centers implement janitorial solutions that align with your team’s operational goals. Whether you’re refining daily cleaning routines or exploring new technologies, our team is ready to help you build a program that fits your facility.
Fitness Center Cleaning Solutions
From the moment guests step through the door to the smallest accessory, we have cleaning solutions for every room in your fitness center. Learn more about how we can optimize your cleaning routines in each space below.Â
Entrance
Like every other business, the entrance of a fitness center is one of the most critical areas to keep clean for your facility’s ongoing success. This is because customers, new and existing, form opinions in seconds, and if your entrance area isn’t clean, it can deter them from returning. Beyond this, it is best practice to maintain a clean entrance to uphold professionalism and prevent the spread of germs.Â
High-Touch Surfaces
Doors and the front desk will be among the most frequently used areas in your business center, aside from the equipment itself. This makes this area primed for germs and bacteria, which can easily spread throughout your facility through high-touch surfaces like:Â
- Door handles and push plates
- Glass doors
- Check-in counters
- Keyboards, mice, and touchscreens
- Card readers and keypads
- Access gates
Even if your gym does not have an official reception area, entry doors still harbor significant levels of bacteria and germs, so if proper systems aren’t in place, you risk outbreaks at any time. Once again, if this becomes a recurring issue, it could affect your gym’s member retention.Â
Equipment
Americhem can be your partner for end-to-end janitorial solutions for every cleaning challenge in your facility. Starting with equipment, the top machines that would benefit your entrance area cleaning routine include:Â
- Walk-behind or compact floor scrubbers → These compact machines are the perfect combination of powerful performance and maneuverability, making them ideal for tight or congested areas such as welcome spaces.Â
- Upright or backpack vacuums → Both of these vacuum types were intentionally designed to clean effectively in tight and narrow spaces, making them well-suited for both routine and spot cleaning.Â
- Carpet extractor → If your facility utilizes matting systems, has any upholstered furniture, or has any carpeting in your entry areas, a carpet extractor is an incredibly useful tool for deep cleaning these high-traffic areas.Â
These machines should be used in conjunction with their respective tools and appropriate cleaning chemicals.Â
Tools & Chemicals
The following list of tools and cleaning products is just a starting point for you and your team. Speak with an expert to learn what other janitorial supplies you need to effectively clean your entrance and related areas.Â

Overall, there is much to consider when developing your entrance cleaning routine. For customized insights and assistance, reach out to our team here! Otherwise, read on to learn more about our cleaning recommendations for the rest of your fitness center.Â
Equipment Areas
The equipment area is typically the most heavily used and largest space in a fitness center, making it the most time-intensive area for your team to clean. With frequent guest interaction, shared touchpoints, and sensitive electronic components, this zone requires an intentional, structured cleaning approach.Â
Below, we break down the key focus areas from disinfecting equipment and supporting guest hygiene to equipping staff with the right tools and protective gear to help you maintain a member-ready facility at all times.
Cleaning & Disinfecting Equipment
First and foremost, you’ll want to be especially mindful of the high-touch surfaces in this area, which are primarily the equipment itself. The top areas to pay attention to are typically:Â
- Cardio machinesÂ
- Machine frames, handrails, and grips
- Machine touchscreens, buttons, and consoles
- Seat adjustments, pins, and levers
- Weight machine handles and pads
- Dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, and plates
- Benches and rack contact points
- Foam rollers and recovery tools
- And any other workout accessories your facility offersÂ
Another unique issue with cleaning this area is that most modern workout equipment relies on an electrical system, making it sensitive to many cleaning products, whether due to corrosive properties or to excessive liquid. As a result, you and your team need to be mindful of which products you use in the equipment area.Â
For electric areas and screens, we offer specially formulated disinfectant and gym wipes designed for this purpose. To set your staff and your guests up for success, we recommend stocking a combination of the following products:Â
Fundamentals of Guest HygieneÂ
Most gyms have policies that guests must clean up after themselves; however, this rule is not always followed, so it’s helpful to keep the proper cleaning products on hand so staff can step in when necessary.Â
In addition to the electronic safe disinfectants mentioned above, you’ll also want to provide ready-to-use sanitizers and dispensers, such as the following:Â
The goal is to enable guests to take initiative and sanitize their hands after each workout to reduce the risk of spreading germs to other equipment and guests.Â
Staff Support
We understand that, depending on staffing levels, your facility likely does not have someone available to monitor the floor at all times for cleaning needs. This is why it is important to establish an effective cleaning system and schedule to keep the business running smoothly, which in turn keeps guests and team members safe and satisfied.Â
Again, your staff should use the same equipment-safe sanitizers to spot-treat dirty machines whenever possible. In addition to these, though, our fitness partners also use the following general cleaners to treat surfaces on their equipment floor:Â
- Spartan Xcelente™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner → The phosphate-free formula is ideal for cleaning floors and other gym surfaces that require a streak-free finish.Â
- P&G Mr.Clean Magic Eraser All Purpose Cleaning Sponge → Multi-purpose scrubbing sponge that reaches into the surface grooves while lifting away built-up dirt and grime with water alone.Â
- Spartan Orange Tough 15 Spot Cleaner & Degreaser → Perfect for removing stubborn soils like black heel marks, tar, gum, asphalt stains, scuff marks, and more.Â
- Spic & Span® Professional Disinfectant All Purpose & Glass Cleaner → Dual-solvent, non-streaking formula designed to dissolve greasy soils and provide an easy clean up.
PPE
Protect your staff from both germs and direct chemical contact with PPE. We offer all the basic and advanced protective gear your team needs to meet OSHA standards and your facility’s guidelines.Â
Top safety items for fitness centers often include:Â
Equipment Use
To ensure your team can quickly and efficiently handle the inevitable spills that occur from time to time, you’ll also want to provide your staff with a compact scrubber, an upright floor-cleaning machine, and/or a mop system kit. The top products we recommend for this task include:Â
- Tennant T300 Walk-Behind Floor Scrubber: Affordable, battery-powered, walk-behind floor scrubber with a 20″ cleaning path.Â
- Sanitaire HydroClean Hard Floor Washer: Cleans and vacuums hard floors in commercial spaces in one step. No spray bottles, mops, buckets, or cloths needed.Â
- Microfiber & More Clean Water Mop System Kit: Includes a divided mop bucket, a mop handle, red medium rest room mop, green medium kitchen mop, and a medium blue open area mop.Â
Equipment Maintenance → Your team should be completing basic equipment care after every use; however, it is best practice to complete a deeper review of your machine every week to ensure everything is clean and functioning as it should. If you and your team are unfamiliar with basic equipment care steps, you are in luck! We offer expert-led training for our partners that walks through this process step by step, regardless of the type of cleaning equipment you have.
Keep Every Machine Guest-Ready
From daily wipe-down solutions to heavy-duty equipment cleaners, we help fitness centers keep machines hygienic, odor-free, and ready for every workout. Reach out to our team to explore equipment-area cleaning solutions that fit your facility’s needs.
Studio Rooms
Studio rooms share many cleaning requirements with equipment areas, but because they have fewer electronic components, your approach can be more flexible. Instead of prioritizing electronic-safe solutions, the focus shifts toward managing high-touch surfaces, shared accessories, sweat, and air quality in spaces designed for constant movement and group activity.
Frequently Touched Surfaces
Studio rooms support a wide range of activities from high-energy cardio classes to low-impact mind-body sessions. With frequent class turnover and shared accessories, these spaces require a focused approach to surface cleaning to reduce cross-contamination and support member safety. Â
Common Studio Uses:Â
- Cardio classes (Zumba®, aerobics, kickboxing)
- Strength and conditioning training
- Mind-body programs (yoga, meditation, Tai Chi)
- Specialized classes (HIIT, barre, small-group training)
Each of these class types increases contact with shared touchpoints that should be prioritized within daily and between-class cleaning protocols.
High-Touch Areas to Prioritize:Â
- Door handles and light switches
- Mats, blocks, resistance bands, and shared accessories
- Barres and wall-mounted rails
- Thermostats and fan controls
- Storage rack handles
These surfaces naturally accumulate harmful bacteria and germs from sweat and skin contact, making consistent disinfection critical for preventing the spread of illness and controlling odors. To effectively clean these areas and the overall surfaces, such as mirrors, walls, and floors, you’ll need to stock a combination of chemicals, tools, and equipment. We’ll dive into these next.Â
Guest Hygiene & Chemical Basics
With so many people coming and going through these rooms, it may not be feasible for your staff to clean up after each class or session, especially if you manage a large fitness center. This is why it is critical to include self-serve cleaning products to encourage guests to clean up after themselves independently.Â
Some basics you’ll want to keep stocked include:Â
- Disposable wipes & disinfectant → If you don’t want to make the ready-to-use gym wipes accessible to all guests, you can also provide disposable towels, either paper or microfiber, alongside a spray disinfectant. This can be a more cost-effective solution depending on the products you choose.
- Disinfecting gym wipes → Gym wipes differ from regular wipes in that they clean, deodorize, and disinfect in one product. The most important difference, though, is that their formula kills bacteria, viruses, AND fungi. Due to sweat and bacteria, gym accessories can harbor a variety of microbes that can cause highly infectious skin infections. Gym wipes are formulated with chemicals that kill these germs while remaining safe for use on most gym surfaces, including vinyl, leather, chrome, foam grips, rubber, painted surfaces, metal, and electronic displays.Â
- Automatic sanitizer stands → As guests come and go through the studio rooms, many guests will elect to use sanitizer stands out of habit if they see them available. You never know what kinds of germs guests will bring into your facility, so the more autonomy you give guests, the better the hygiene. Â
Recommended Routines & Equipment
Even when guests clean after themselves, a structured daily routine is essential to maintain professional facility hygiene standards. Consistency ensures that high-touch surfaces, shared accessories, and floors stay free of germs, sweat, and debris, helping you protect both members and staff while keeping studio rooms ready for every class.
Daily tasks should include →Â
- Restocking all applicable cleaning products and consumables (ex, wipes, towels, sanitizer)Â
- Wiping down all high-touch surfaces with anti-fungal disinfectantÂ
- Ensuring trash is taken out to avoid lingering odors
- Sweeping or vacuuming loose debris and dirt from studio floorsÂ
Quick Tip: If your studio rooms have short turnaround times, ask us about our disinfectants with shorter dwell times to avoid delaying your transition process.Â
Weekly Deep Cleaning Routines
Floor Maintenance →Â
The focus of your deep cleaning tasks should be your studio floors. Depending on the size of your studio rooms, you’ll want to have a floor scrubber or a divided mop system on hand.Â
Given that you also have the remaining floors in your fitness center to clean, the most efficient long-term option is a scrubber. With a variety of sizes, we can help you select a machine that maximizes your janitorial staff’s time while maintaining clean, impressive floors.Â
That said, a mopping system is an affordable option for floor cleaning and is maneuverable and accessible for smaller spaces and spill cleanups. We generally recommend a divided bucket system for high-traffic areas such as gyms, as it keeps soiled water separate from the clean solution, reducing the risk of an outbreak.Â
Walls & Mirrors →
Besides your floors, the walls and mirrors in your studio rooms take up the most space and require their own TLC during the week. For mirrors, any dirt or smudges will be immediately noticeable, so in addition to spot-touching during the day, set aside dedicated time to clean mirrors of dust and fingerprints. The same applies to wall surfaces; you won’t need a separate, specialized, non-streaking cleaning product for this task, as you will for mirrors and glass.Â
Improving Indoor Air Quality →Â
In addition to managing your HVAC system, you can improve air quality in your studio rooms by using the right janitorial supplies and cleaning practices. This is especially important in gyms and fitness centers, where guests naturally breathe more heavily than in traditional businesses because they are exerting themselves.Â
- Dust your studio rooms regularly using dusters, dust mops, and microfiber mops. Microfiber in particular traps and holds dust and allergens rather than dispersing them.Â
- Make sure you are also cleaning your vents with high-access cleaning systems so dust doesn’t spread further into your facility.Â
- For additional support if you are particularly concerned about this issue, we also offer commercial-grade air purifiers to capture dust left by your vacuum and between sessions.
Quick Tip: To make improving air quality part of your daily routine, upgrade your equipment to have HEPA-filtered vacuums. HEPA filters ensure that dirt and dust particles are trapped within the filter and don’t re-enter the room after you remove the debris. Â
Build a Smarter Studio Cleaning Program
From high-touch disinfection to floor care and air quality support, we’ll help you select the right products, equipment, and routines to keep studio rooms clean, compliant, and class-ready. Connect with our team to review solutions designed for fast-paced group fitness environments.
Aquatic Centers
If your fitness center has a pool or aquatic center, these spaces require some of the most specialized cleaning solutions available. This is due to the risk of equipment getting wet and the pool chemicals themselves, as improper chemical combinations can put guests and staff at risk.
Nevertheless, we provide cleaning solutions and equipment compatible with even the most complex applications. Learn more about our aquatic center solutions below.
High-traffic Area Cleaning
Even though aquatic areas are constantly exposed to water and chlorine, wet surfaces are not automatically clean. Even chlorine isn’t effective against all germs and bacteria, creating opportunities for hardier pathogens to grow and spread. This is why it’s so important to maintain a cleaning routine in these spaces.Â
Top areas to prioritize in your aquatic center cleaning routine:Â
- Pool ladders and handrails
- Entry and exit grab bars
- Deck chairs and seating surfaces
- Door handles to pool areas
- Shared pool accessoriesÂ
Focus on surfaces that receive frequent contact or are prone to moisture accumulation. This way, you reduce the risk of illnesses spreading and keep your aquatic center looking and smelling fresh.
Compatible cleaning products we recommend include:Â
- Spartan Sani-T-10® Disinfectant Sanitizer Algicide → Sani-T-10’s algicidal activity makes it extremely effective for treating swimming pools. Destroys pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses and the odor-causing chemicals they produce.
- Betco® MAD Hard Surface Detergent → Removes soap scum, body oils, and grease from swimming pools and showers. Will not harm floors or drains.Â
- Pumie® Tile and Concrete Cleaner → Removes tough stains with gentle abrasive action in pools, spas, and other water features.
Using the right chemicals ensures surfaces are disinfected, safe for swimmers, and compliant with hygiene standards.
Recommended Cleaning Tools & Systems
Wet environments require purpose-built tools to help staff manage standing water, reduce slip hazards, and maintain safe traffic flow throughout the day. The right cleaning tools and matting systems support daily cleaning routines while reinforcing safety and compliance in high-moisture areas.
- Floor Squeegees → Ideal for use around swimming pools to move water away from undesirable areas. Built with acid-resistant polypropylene construction and a reinforced frame.
- M + A Matting Wet Step Mats → With a unique design and antimicrobial treatment, these mats provide excellent slip resistance for use in pools, locker rooms, showers, and spas.Â

M + A Matting Wet Step Matting
Designed for wet environments, this matting system is antimicrobial-treated, quick-draining, and UV-resistant, delivering long-lasting performance in aquatic areas.
Recommended Cleaning Equipment
Aquatic facilities require equipment that can withstand constant moisture while delivering consistent, high-performance cleaning. Investing in the right machines allows staff to clean more efficiently, reduce labor strain, and maintain hygienic, visually appealing surfaces across pool decks and surrounding areas.
- Motor Scrubber M3 Specialty Cleaning Machine → This waterproof machine combines industrial cleaning power with a compact design to deliver a small floor scrubber ideal for aquatic centers.Â

Laundry Solutions for Aquatic Environments
If you provide towels and robes to your members, or even staff uniforms, your laundry program is another area we can help you optimize. Aquatic laundry presents unique challenges, including chlorine exposure, body oils, sunscreen residue, and constant moisture, which standard detergents are not designed to handle consistently.
A dedicated laundry program helps you:
- Remove odor and body soil more effectively from towels and washables
- Maintain towel absorbency and clean appearance, even after repeated use
- Reduce fabric wear and tear caused by harsh chemicals or improper wash cycles
- Support guest satisfaction and confidence through visibly clean linens
To achieve consistent results, aquatic facilities will benefit the most from a system-based laundry program. We offer a variety of laundry detergents, pre-treatments, bleach washes, and more to ensure you have the right solutions for your laundry, no matter the application. Learn more about our laundry product offerings here.Â

From chemical selection to routine development, we help fitness centers implement effective cleaning programs for their pools and aquatic centers. Have peace of mind that your staff has the proper training, tools, and equipment to maintain safety and compliance in these spaces when you partner with Americhem! Connect with our specialists today to get started.Â
Locker Rooms
Given the nature of these areas, your facility’s locker rooms may be the most odorous of your whole center. For most members, locker rooms are an unavoidable necessity, which is why it’s critical to ensure they meet guests’ standards. Learn more about the steps you can take to upgrade your members’ locker room experience below.
Matting Systems
If you haven’t already, implementing matting throughout your locker rooms is a necessary step not only to limit your liability for slip-and-fall incidents but also to reduce the growth of harmful microorganisms. Fungi thrive in locker room environments, and if your guests contract infections and attribute them to your facility, you may see member retention decline.Â
We offer a variety of matting to our partners, with two in particular being especially effective:Â
- M + A Matting Super Scrape™ Mat → Durable 100% nitrile rubber mat provides a slip-resistant surface. Ideal for use in wet environments, such as locker rooms.Â
- M + A Matting Wet Step Mat → With a unique design and antimicrobial treatment, these mats provide excellent slip resistance for use in pools, locker rooms, showers, and spas.Â
Contact our team to learn more about our full array of matting solutions and to help you select the right matting program for your entire fitness center.
Locker Room Chemical Solutions
Locker rooms are high-moisture, high-contact environments where bacteria, fungi, and odor-causing soils can build up quickly. To maintain a clean, sanitary space, it’s critical to use professional-grade chemicals formulated to penetrate porous surfaces and eliminate microorganisms commonly found in locker rooms.
We recommend disinfectants and cleaners formulated specifically for restroom and locker room conditions, such as
- Spartan Foamy Q & A® Acid Disinfectant Cleaner → Ready-to-use, acid-based foaming disinfectant for fast, efficient maintenance in locker rooms.
- Spartan TnT® Disinfectant Cleaner → active disinfectant cleaner for one-step cleaning in and on bathroom and locker-room fixtures. Effectively removes mold and mildew while clinging foam penetrates soap scum, grime, grease, and other tough soils.
- Spartan Consume® Nature’s Way Cleaner Odor Eliminator → An excellent product to use in areas where persistent odors are a problem.Â
Using the right chemistry ensures effective sanitation without increasing labor time. Have questions? Reach out to our team with any additional questions about our locker room chemical solutions.Â
Deodorizing Solutions
As mentioned above, a key goal of your locker room cleaning program should be to eliminate odors. Guests often notice odors before entering the room, which can negatively affect member perception and retention, even when surfaces appear clean.
Americhem offers a diverse range of odor-eliminating and deodorizing products to choose from. Top products our fitness center partners enjoy include:Â
- HYSO® HYScent InVent Odor Control Devices → Inconspicuous odor control device that works with your existing HVAC airflow. Sleek, no mess design that is simple to use and install.Â

Your deodorizing solution for large locker room spaces. (Up to 3,500 square feet!) Mount on the wall using the multidirectional wall mount, or on the floor using the integrated flip stand.
Equipment Solutions
Regardless of your locker room size, you will need cleaning equipment to properly clean them, as soils, scum, and dirt build up over time. Manual cleaning can only be so effective, even with the right chemicals. Having powerful, high-quality equipment ensures you can cover more space and deliver a consistent, clean result every time, while saving time and reducing labor costs.Â
Effective machines we recommend adding to your locker room cleaning routine include:Â

From slip-resistant matting and targeted disinfectants to odor control and time-saving equipment, we help fitness centers tackle moisture, odors, and hygiene challenges that impact member perception. Connect with our team to build a locker room cleaning program that protects your facility and keeps members coming back.
Showers
Communal showers in fitness centers are among the most stubborn environments to clean and maintain. Constant moisture, elevated temperatures, and frequent skin contact create ideal conditions for bacteria, fungi, and mildew, which often lead to unwanted odors.Â
Guests use showers to clean themselves, so there is already a baseline expectation of cleanliness and, again, an association between overall facility hygiene and the condition of the showers and surrounding areas. We support athletic and fitness facilities with shower cleaning solutions that help staff clean efficiently and go above and beyond without breaking the bank.Â
High-Traffic & High-Moisture Area Cleaning
While showers are continuously exposed to water, body oils, soap residue, and organic soil quickly accumulate on both vertical and horizontal surfaces, creating opportunities for microbial growth if not addressed properly.
Top areas to prioritize in your communal shower cleaning routine include:
- Shower controls and valves
- Door handles and curtain rings
- Grab bars and shelves
- Soap and shampoo dispensers
- Bench seating within showers
Focusing on these high-contact surfaces helps reduce health risks, prevent soil buildup, and maintain a visibly clean, well-cared-for shower environment that members can trust.Â
Compatible Cleaning Chemicals We Recommend
Selecting the right cleaning chemicals is critical in communal shower environments, where cleaners must remove daily soils such as soap scum and body soil while remaining safe for more delicate surfaces. Foaming formulations are especially effective because they adhere to vertical surfaces and provide consistent dwell time.
Using shower-specific cleaning products ensures an effective, consistent clean every time. Our top product suggestions for this application include:Â
- Spartan Clean on the Go® Clean by 4D™ 26 Daily Cleaner Disinfectant → Shower cleaning and disinfecting system that uses a foaming spray to effectively cover the entire shower area and the surrounding area with foam, giving you an effective clean from bottom to top.Â
- Spartan CDC-10® Clinging Disinfectant Cleaner → CDC-10 is a non-acid, ready-to-use disinfectant with clinging foam that delivers excellent cleaning performance in showers.
- Spartan Foamy Q & A® Acid Disinfectant Cleaner → Ready-to-use, acid-based formulation with unique foaming ability for fast, efficient shower maintenance.Â
- Spartan Clean by Peroxy® All Purpose Cleaner → All-purpose cleaner with hydrogen peroxide that is formulated to quickly remove everyday soils and break through mineral buildup.Â
- Spartan Profect® 128 HDQ Neutral → Disinfects, cleans, and deodorizes in one labor-saving step using a formulation that kills a broad spectrum of microorganisms.Â
Pair with compact, maneuverable equipment, such as the Square Scrub Doodle Scrub or the Motor Scrubber M3 Specialty Cleaning Machine, that can fit into tight spaces in and around showers.Â
Stocking Personal Care Items
Beyond cleanliness, shower areas contribute directly to the overall member experience. Through our partnership with Spartan Chemical, we offer a simple two-product personal care system that delivers a spa-like feel while maintaining consistency and control.
- Spartan FitnessCheck™ Hair and Body Wash → Works as a shampoo and body wash to remove sweat, dirt, and oils during showering, featuring a fresh, energizing citrus fragrance.Â

Restrooms
We are proud to say that we have some of the most robust resources of restroom cleaning supplies and equipment. We provide our partners with comprehensive solutions, no matter the industry, and fitness centers and gyms are no different.Â
Restrooms in fitness centers experience high foot traffic, frequent moisture, and constant interaction throughout the day.

Learn more about our recommended solutions below.Â
High-Traffic & High-Touch Area Cleaning

Recommended Equipment & Systems
Restrooms demand a higher standard of cleanliness due to constant use and the presence of bacteria and organic soils.

Childcare Areas
Childcare spaces within fitness centers serve some of your most vulnerable guests, making effective cleaning a top priority. These areas require cleaning solutions that deliver strong germ control while avoiding unnecessarily harsh chemicals, helping protect children, staff, and parents’ peace of mind.
Young children frequently move between toys, furniture, and activity zones, creating constant high-touch exposure. Because of this, childcare areas require a balanced approach that combines routine surface cleaning with scheduled daily and weekly deep cleaning to maintain a consistently safe environment.
High-Touch Area Cleaning
Childcare areas include a wide variety of surfaces that are frequently touched, shared, and often are placed in close contact with children’s hands, faces, and mouths. Cleaning routines should focus on both visible cleanliness and microbial control.Â
Make sure to give special attention to the following shared items and touchpoints:Â
- Toys and shared play equipment
- Tables and chair backs
- Cubby handles and storage bins
- Check-in counters and tablets
- Door handles and light switches
- Mats and soft seating surfaces
- Cribs, changing tables, and nap areas
Quick Tip: Ensure staff are trained on proper application, dwell times, and PPE use when cleaning childcare areas to support both safety and compliance in your facility.

Cleaning products used in childcare areas must be effective while remaining gentle to avoid any reactions for children with sensitivities. This means that selecting the right chemical products is the first step towards protecting children and staff in childcare areas.Â
Our recommended cleaning products to get your routine started include:Â
- BNC-15® → Proven “one-step” cleaner that disinfects and sanitizes against viruses, fungi, mildew, and more. Provides contact sanitization in just 15 seconds.
- Spartan Clean by 4D™ Daily Cleaner → A hospital-grade, one-step cleaner and disinfectant that delivers fast, effective cleaning using peroxide as a primary ingredient. Added benefit of deodorizing.Â
- Spartan® Bed Bug & Lice Killer → An EPA-regulated aerosol product that is effective against bed bugs, lice, and louse eggs.Â
- Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes → EPA registered to kill 99.9% of germs on surfaces with 10-second sanitization. Ideal for use on frequently touched surfaces.Â
- Betco® GE Fight Bac RTU Disinfectant → Kills over 99.9% of bacteria and viruses in three- to five-minute contact time on hard surfaces. Uses Citric acid as an active ingredient, meaning no harsh chemicals.Â
- Enzymatic Cleaners → Enzymatic cleaners are able to break down the proteins in bodily fluids, which are common hazards in childcare areas. Â
Using products with quick dwell times supports the fast-paced environment of childcare. For help creating a fully built-out cleaning regime, contact us today! We’ll help get you in contact with one of our experts as soon as we can.Â
Supporting Staff With the Right Tools
Equipping childcare staff with easy-to-use cleaning tools allows them to address messes and spills immediately without disrupting supervision or safety. This empowers staff to clean independently throughout the day, which, in turn, helps cleaning staff complete a deeper clean at the end of the day.Â
In most cases, the tools and equipment you already use throughout your facility are well-suited for cleaning a childcare center. However, if your space includes specialty surfaces, such as rubber flooring, fun carpeting, or other sensitive materials, we can help you select surface-safe products and equipment that deliver effective cleaning without risking damage.
- Extractors → The spot cleaning extractors, or portable extractors, that we offer are the smallest and most maneuverable machines for quick and easy cleaning around buddy childcare areas.Â
- Pair with one of our carpet spotters for easy removal of nearly any stain you may encounter.Â
- Lightweight & Backpack Vacuums → Give your staff the freedom to move quickly and clean high-traffic or hard-to-reach areas with compact and backpack vacuums. Easy for providers and staff to use.Â
For students with any health concerns, we also provide specialized equipment, including HEPA-rated vacuums and sweepers, as well as air purifiers and advanced dusting systems. Reach out to our team for help addressing your top cleaning concerns in childcare environments.Â
Ready to Build a Safer Childcare Cleaning Program?
From selecting chemicals to designing cleaning routines that fit your facility’s schedule, we help fitness centers create childcare cleaning programs that protect guests’ children and support staff efficiency. Partner with our team to ensure your childcare areas are clean, compliant, and welcoming every day.
Building Exterior
The exterior of a fitness center sets the tone for the entire member experience. From the moment guests arrive, the condition of your building’s façade, windows, walkways, and surrounding grounds reflects your brand reputation and show you are committed to a high standard of professionalism, inside and out.
Regular exterior cleaning not only improves curb appeal, but also helps reduce slip hazards, prevent surface deterioration, and create a welcoming environment that reinforces member confidence before they ever step inside. Learn more about how we can support your exterior cleaning efforts below.
High-Exposure Exterior Cleaning
Exterior surfaces accumulate dirt, pollen, exhaust residue, debris, and even gum quickly. No matter how high-traffic your facility’s location is, proactive cleaning greatly reduces buildup that can permanently stain or damage surfaces over time.
Key areas to prioritize in your exterior cleaning routine include:
- Entry doors and exterior glass
- Sidewalks and walkways
- Parking lots and curb lines
- Building façade and signage
- Outdoor seating and bike racks
Focusing on these areas reinforces a positive first impression and helps reduce soil tracked into the facility.
Recommended Exterior Equipment
The right exterior equipment enables staff to maintain outdoor spaces safely while minimizing labor strain and member disruption. This equipment must be durable and capable of handling a range of conditions year-round to work efficiently while tackling dirt, debris, weather-related buildup, and slip hazards across walkways, entryways, and building exteriors.
Heavy-duty equipment you can count on for exterior maintenance includes:Â
- Commercial Sweepers → We offer commercial sweepers that can work inside and out of your facility, helping you maximize your machine and relieve your staff of high-intensity manual cleaning tasks.Â
- Commercial Pressure Washers → Our powerful selection of commercial pressure washers allows your team to easily clean sidewalks, building exteriors, and entry areas exposed to heavy soils.Â
- Specialty Surface Cleaners → Delivers fast, efficient, and most importantly, uniform cleaning on large concrete and paved areas.Â
- Gum Removal Equipment → Provides targeted removal of gum buildup without harsh scraping or surface damage.
This list is only the top products we see as helpful for partners. If you have any specialty or problem areas you need help with, reach out to our team for assistance!

Specialty Project Cleaning
- Electronics Cleaning
When you train staff on proper cleaning steps for your gym or fitness center, using products that won’t damage your devices or electronic components is priority number 1. Take advantage of electronic-sensitive wipes from our product catalog.Â
- Water Fountains/Water Coolers
No matter the type of water fountain or cooler you have, most of your guests will likely interact with it at least once during each visit, making them an easy source for germs to spread. To prevent this, we recommend using a combination of your preferred daily sanitizer and an occasional specialty cleaner to remove unsightly mineral buildup.Â
- Pressure Washing
For any of your outdoor spaces, like sidewalks and building facades, to expansive athletic courts, our variety of hot and cold commercial pressure washers can bring these spaces back to life in no time.Â
