Keeping a facility clean and healthy is not an easy task. Due to the many assets to care for in a facility, ranging from restrooms to the numerous types of flooring to upholstery, it usually takes a lot of cleaners to get the task done. To effectively care for your facility, we rigorously train our team members and equip them with the latest technology and equipment. We firmly believe in protecting the health and safety of our team members and as a result, they work to the best of their abilities to protect the health and safety of your facility occupants.

Cleaning Thoroughly for Health

COVID-19 has taught us many lessons including the importance of cleaning and hand hygiene. Caring for your facility means doing more than the regular “trash and dash” strategy. The CDC provide examples of high-touch surfaces which includes counters, tables, doorknobs, light switches, stair rails, and more. But further explanation is essential to reduce waste and improve efficiency. An example: a light switch in an office that is unused or has only a single occupant is not a high-touch surface. A high-touch surface is a surface that is used frequently by multiple people throughout the day.

Electrostatic Disinfection

The use of Electrostatic technologies has made the disinfection process five times faster than traditional disinfecting. While the electrostatic technology allows cleaners to work faster, it is also proven to be more effective when disinfecting any surface. Our trained disinfection specialists use these electrostatic technologies to disinfect the side, underside, and backside of surfaces. The electrostatic equipment atomizes the disinfection solution and transform it into a mist that, once sprayed on a surface, wraps the solutions around all sides of the surface. However, no matter how much a surface is disinfected, it will be futile and a waste of resources if the surface is not cleaned before applying disinfectants.

In the wake of a new normal, fast, effective, and reliable disinfection service is the key to maintain and boost productivity. COVID-19 has forever changed the way how people interact with people as well as how people interact with facilities, especially in fitness facilities. According to Mindbody survey, 92% of consumers said that strict sanitization requirements will be critical in deciding whether or not to  visit a gym. Gym clients expect their fitness facility service providers to perform more stringent cleaning and disinfection methods to ensure their members feel at ease when they enter the facility.

Create a Clean Path in Your Fitness Facility

Following the guidelines of the CDC. Here are some key tips to creating a clean path:

  • Consider where your members go after they have entered your facility.
  • Consider the type of surface members come in contact with and how often they touch it. Make disinfecting high touch surfaces a top priority and disinfect all gym equipment after each use.
  • Before disinfection, clean visibly dirty surfaces with soap and water.
  • Use disinfectant approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) against COVID-19.
  • Read and follow the directions on the labels of cleaning products for safety details and instructions for proper use.
  • To clean and disinfect, use disposable gloves that can be discarded after each use, or use reusable gloves that are only used for cleaning and disinfecting. After removing gloves, always wash your hands.

Ensure that machines and equipment are consistently disinfected, locker rooms are clean, and hand sanitizer and clean towels are present throughout the fitness center.

A Clean Fitness Facility is an Important Competitive Advantage

Keeping fitness centers spotless and germ-free is now more crucial than ever. According to a study conducted by the International Health, Racquet & Sports club Association (IHRSA), the cleanliness of a fitness facility is one of the most powerful tools to boost member’s satisfaction, retain members, and catalyze revenue. The IHRSA report states that members who perceive their health club to be extremely clean are likely to recommend the facility to friends and family. Members who perceive the club to be unclean are significantly less likely to recommend it to a friend, colleague, or family member. In particular, new gym members are disproportionately inclined to value a clean workout and changing space.

The IHRSA study also reports that 10% of members who recently terminated a gym membership state that the facility’s unclean environment played a vital role in their decision to quit. A clean gym boosts member retention and inspires current members. In order for gyms to re-open and be profitable, the cleanliness of the facility should be as clean or cleaner than what members expect.

What is INTEGRATED CLEAN™?

INTEGRATED CLEAN™ is an infection prevention program that focuses on cleaning high touch points and high-risk areas. High touch points include elevator buttons, doorknobs, toilet handles, faucets, phones, light switches, keyboards, chair, tables, counters, and other surfaces that are frequently contacted by building occupants. High risk areas include conference rooms, breakrooms, restrooms, lobbies, locker rooms, and other areas that are frequently occupied by building occupants.

Creating a Clean Path

Think of the path that your building occupants travel while in your facility. Where are they going and what are they going to have physical contact with? Those areas are high touch point & high-risk areas. Our INTEGRATED CLEAN™ services are developed to provide a higher level of clean for these areas of your facility.

Our cleaning staff are equipped with proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect their health and safety while they work to protect the health and safety of your building occupants.

Why should special attention be given to high tough points and high-risk areas?

These are the areas of your facility that your building occupants use frequently. Cleaning and disinfecting these areas will reduce the spread of infectious viruses like COVID-19. It is important to remember that if left undisturbed, on an average, bacteria double their numbers every 20 minutes. Some of these bacteria can live 6 to 8 months on hard surfaces, such as phones, tables, and door handles.

What products can be used to clean these areas?

In accordance with the guidelines and recommendations of the CDC and the EPA, our INTEGRATED CLEAN™ program implements EPA-approved List N disinfectants. These disinfectants are capable of significantly reducing any pathogen that may be on these areas.

How can our services help you?
