How to clean home gym equipment to prevent germs?

Whenever the word gym comes to mind, exercise and exercise come to mind, in a professional gym or home gym. With training comes sweat that can transfer germs to gym equipment that can make you sick. Therefore, it is very necessary that we clean our gym equipment from time to time to keep them free from germs. House Cleaning Queen Anne have some tips that will help you keep your gym equipment clean and germ free.

 

1. Equipment

When house cleaning just like we train in the gym, it makes our body sweat and germs come with sweat. These germs can be transferred to the equipment in a very short time of our hands, since when we exercise we tend to touch the equipment. During house cleaning these germs can be cleaned quickly with the disinfectant spray made with ingredients available in our homes. In a spray bottle, drink a cup of water and a cup of vinegar shake well. Then spray this mixture on the appliance and clean it. 

 

2. Weights

When house cleaning like the weights of other gym equipment, they also come into contact with sweat, which means that germs also reside in them. Especially since the weights are in contact with the hands most of the time. So, everything that is stuck in your hands is also transferred to the weights. During house cleaning, you will need Lukewarm water, add a few drops of dish detergent, mix well, then immerse it in a microfiber cloth and dry weights with this solution. Once the weights are cleaned with a damp cloth, use a dry cloth to dry weights and you will get clean, germ-free weights in no time.

 

3. Yoga mat

During house cleaning the last thing to disinfect is the yoga mat. We need to disinfect the yoga mat, because other things simply come into contact with our hands, but even a yoga mat comes into contact with our body. Not only can this transfer germs, but it can also be a source of bacteria that could cause acne. During house cleaning, to disinfect the yoga mat, take half a bucket of hot water and add a few drops of dish detergent. Then soak a cloth in this solution and clean the carpet. After rinsing the mat, once all the soap has been rinsed, use a dry cloth to dry the mat. Allow the mat to rest overnight to dry properly before use.

 

4. Floors

When house cleaning the gym at home people usually overlook the cleaning of the gym floors. It too has lots of germs as we bring in our shoes inside the gym and we have no idea where we have been with those shoes and how much germs they have on them. Then on the same floor we do the stretching, sit ups, pushups and everything. During house cleaning it is a must that we clean the gym floors as well.
