GYM SANITATION BEST PRACTICES - The following steps are ways to disinfect your environment as much as possible!

The following is a list of “Best Practices” for cleaningand disinfecting your gym. Please note that no facility can ever be 100% disinfected. All we can do is our best. We owe it to our valued customers to do everything we canto provide a safe environment to work out.

Presently, essential businesses who provide life-sustaining functions, specifically those that fall within the food supply chain, face new challenges in keeping their product, employees, and customers safe when it comes to their cleaning and sanitization procedures. Now, is the time business owners and managers need to establish upgraded sanitization practices to meet immediate and upcoming needs. Businesses including grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, and beverage distribution centers, as well as those that supply food packaging, distribution, and fulfillment now have greater guidance specifically for COVID-19 for maintaining a clean and safe work environment.

The Coronavirus pandemic has put life as we knew it on pause for an unknown amount of time. Most businesses are closed for the common good, and the last thing we want is for anything to reopen before it's safe to do so. However, there is no denying that there will likely be a new normal once coronavirus restrictions are lifted and businesses start to reopen to employees and customers. As the managers of warehouses, manufacturing plants, and other essential businesses performing life-sustaining functions, and as decision-makers for retail stores, schools, or colleges that have been ordered to temporarily close or suspend operations, it's your job to make sure that your facility has reached a new standard of clean – and that cleaning protocol going forward continually meets those standards.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that floors should be regularly cleaned and then disinfected using an EPA registered disinfectant that has been proven to kill the virus that causes COVID-19. It is important to keep your floors clean because your floors may harbor more bacteria than most other hard surfaces in your building. We are happy to train you or your staff on all procedures explained in our blog. No Charge!

Cleaning and disinfecting floors for coronavirus is an essential part of keeping your facility clean and safe. Even if your business is currently shut down, it's smart to establish a solid plan now so that you can be ready when it's time to reopen. From warehouses to schools and more, learn the right cleaning protocol for you facility's floors.

During the coronavirus crisis, what can you do to manage your business, communicate with your gym members, & prepare to reopen your gym? Rick Schott, president of Factory Cleaning Equipment, shares his thoughts:

"We have been thinking a lot about you these days. My heart goes out to every small business in America that has been forced to close. The people who run privately held gyms in America are a strong, smart, group of people who will figure out a way to survive. No doubt in my mind. I wanted to offer you a few ideas from my experiences gained from keeping a business going for 25 years in case you hadn’t already thought of them."
