| General Gym Cleaning and Disinfecting Guidelines: |
|
| 1. Wear disposable gloves, a mask, and eye protection to clean and disinfect. |
| 2. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during cleaning and disinfecting. |
| 3. Use an alcohol free, phenol free, bleach free, and ammonia free cleaner or wipe containing an EPA approved disinfectant, such as GymWipes Antibacterial product. |
| 4. If a surface is visibly covered in chalk or dirt, clean that surface prior to using a disinfectant. |
| 5. Not all surfaces need to be cleaned or disinfected with the same frequency. Areas that are frequently touched such as door handles, barbells, pull-up bars, dumbbells and medicine balls should be cleaned after every use, while other surfaces that are not touched as often can be cleaned less frequently. |
