Common questions

How often should gym equipment be cleaned?

Members should wipe equipment after each use, and staff should wipe every high-touch surface at least once a day. Deeper cleans of machines, upholstery and floors are weekly, and filters and vents monthly. This template is set out that way.

What should gym equipment be cleaned with?

A disinfectant your equipment maker approves, used at the strength on its label and left for its full contact time. Harsh or wrong products crack upholstery and void warranties, so check each maker’s cleaning guide.

Can I use this checklist with a cleaning contractor?

Yes. Mark which sections the contractor covers and which your staff do, and ask the contractor to sign their part. A manager’s sign-off then covers both.

How do I show the gym was cleaned?

Keep the signed sheets. In Wikidoc, each checklist run records who ticked each task and when, and the manager approves the run, so you have a dated record without filing paper.
