The Americhem Difference

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

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.

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.

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:

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.

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:

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.
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.
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.

These machines should be used in conjunction with their respective tools and appropriate cleaning chemicals.

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.

As mentioned, we are an end-to-end distributor, so in addition to our tools, supplies, and equipment, we offer breakroom supplies. If your facility provides complimentary coffee, beverages, and snacks, we have you covered.

Set Your Entrance up for Success

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.

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.

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:

Cardio machines
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 offers

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.

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:

Spartan Profect® 128 HDQ Neutral Cleaner

High-Performance Disposable Microfiber Wipes

Fundamentals of Guest Hygiene

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.

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:

Spartan Lite’n Foamy® E3 Hand Sanitizer

- Spartan Lite’n Foamy® 1000 mL Hand Soap Dispenser

Health Guard® Foaming 62% Alcohol Hand Sanitizer

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.

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.

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:

Spartan Xcelente™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner → The phosphate-free formula is ideal for cleaning floors and other gym surfaces that require a streak-free finish.

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.

Spartan Orange Tough 15 Spot Cleaner & Degreaser → Perfect for removing stubborn soils like black heel marks, tar, gum, asphalt stains, scuff marks, and more.
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.

Top safety items for fitness centers often include:

Vinyl Disposable Gloves

View all safety products here.

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:

Tennant T300 Walk-Behind Floor Scrubber: Affordable, battery-powered, walk-behind floor scrubber with a 20″ cleaning path.
Sanitaire HydroClean Hard Floor Washer: Cleans and vacuums hard floors in commercial spaces in one step. No spray bottles, mops, buckets, or cloths needed.
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.

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.

Common Studio Uses:

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:

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.

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.

Some basics you’ll want to keep stocked include:

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.
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.

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 →

Restocking all applicable cleaning products and consumables (ex, wipes, towels, sanitizer)
Wiping down all high-touch surfaces with anti-fungal disinfectant
Ensuring trash is taken out to avoid lingering odors
Sweeping or vacuuming loose debris and dirt from studio floors

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.

Weekly Deep Cleaning Routines

Floor Maintenance →

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.

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.

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.

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.

Improving Indoor Air Quality →

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.

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.
Make sure you are also cleaning your vents with high-access cleaning systems so dust doesn’t spread further into your facility.
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.

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.

Top areas to prioritize in your aquatic center cleaning routine:

Pool ladders and handrails
Entry and exit grab bars
Deck chairs and seating surfaces
Door handles to pool areas
Shared pool accessories

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:

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.
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.

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.
Commercial Pressure Washers → Tackle dirt, grime, and scum build-up using high-powered commercial pressure machine equipment.

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.

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.

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.

We offer a variety of matting to our partners, with two in particular being especially effective:

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.
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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Layering deodorizing solutions with proper cleaning chemistry delivers long-lasting odor control and a consistently fresh guest experience. Browse our full line of deodorizing products here.

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.

Effective machines we recommend adding to your locker room cleaning routine include:

Commercial Pressure Washers → With both hot and cold pressure washer options, you can tackle the most stubborn soils with ease.
Commercial Floor Scrubbers → Maximize your team’s efficiency with a powerful and compact commercial floor scrubber for locker room floor cleaning.
Tennant ASC-15 Q12 Multi-Surface Cleaner → This all-surface cleaning machine effectively cleans a variety of hard surfaces, including tile and locker room floors.

Elevate the Locker Room Experience

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.
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.
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.
Spartan Profect® 128 HDQ Neutral → Disinfects, cleans, and deodorizes in one labor-saving step using a formulation that kills a broad spectrum of microorganisms.

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.

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.

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.

Restrooms in fitness centers experience high foot traffic, frequent moisture, and constant interaction throughout the day. Because of this, restroom surfaces require regular monitoring and a structured cleaning program that prioritizes disinfection, odor control, and appearance while minimizing disruptions to members. Learn more about our recommended solutions below.

High-Traffic & High-Touch Area Cleaning

Restroom surfaces are among the most frequently touched areas in a fitness facility and should be cleaned regularly throughout the day by staff. Focusing on the following high-touch points helps reduce the spread of germs while maintaining a well-kept appearance:

Toilet and urinal flush handles
Stall door locks and handles
Sink faucets and handles
Soap, towel, and tissue dispensers
Baby changing stations
Trash receptacles

Daily and deep cleaning should be completed as part of your facility’s ongoing routine; however, the cadence, specific products, and equipment will depend on your facility’s size and surface types. Partner with one of our expert team members today for personalized solutions!

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.

Make sure to give special attention to the following shared items and touchpoints:

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. Luckily, we offer complementary training for all our partners on Health & Safety best practices, so reach out to us to learn more about this service!

Compatible Cleaning Chemicals We Recommend

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.

Our recommended cleaning products to get your routine started include:

BNC-15® → Proven “one-step” cleaner that disinfects and sanitizes against viruses, fungi, mildew, and more. Provides contact sanitization in just 15 seconds.

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.

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.
- Pair with one of our carpet spotters for easy removal of nearly any stain you may encounter.
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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
Specialty Surface Cleaners → Delivers fast, efficient, and most importantly, uniform cleaning on large concrete and paved areas.
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!

Ready to Elevate Your Facility’s First Impression?

From window cleaning systems to parking lot maintenance solutions, we help fitness centers build exterior cleaning programs that enhance curb appeal, improve safety, and support efficient operations. Partner with our team to equip your staff with the right tools, chemicals, and expertise to keep your facility looking its best year-round!

Specialty Project 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.

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.

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.
