• 2012.02 - AthleticBusiness.com - Properly Cleaning and Disinfecting Fitness Equipment
  • If you want to use a product that is more specific to MRSA, that's usually marked on the label.
  • There are various chemicals used as disinfectants, from environmentally friendly options containing chemical agents derived from citrus oils to older alcohol- or phenol-based cleaners. The problem with the latter two, however, is that they pose a threat to equipment.
  • According to the EPA, the requirement for most quats is that you have to have the surface wet for a minimum of 10 minutes for disinfection.
  • Schneider recommends disinfecting equipment daily (preferably at least twice a day) using a disinfectant-only aerosol spray. "What an aerosol does is break the disinfectant down into such a small particle that it will help penetrate the material and get below the surface," he explains. Disinfectant-only sprays can be sprayed and left to dry, without requiring someone to wipe off the residue.
  • "A common practice we see is using hand wipes on equipment," says Dolan. "These are generally alcohol-based wipes and are not meant for equipment."
  • The opposite situation is also a danger, says Schneider. "I have seen people take fitness wipes out of the dispenser and wipe their head, face, arms, etc. Wipes are not designed for that. You could break out in a very serious rash."
  • "There are major issues with overspray seeping into and ruining costly electronic panels, getting on another member nearby or creating a cloud of fumes," says Dolan. Schneider recommends avoiding these problems by instructing users to spray the cleaner onto the towel rather than equipment
