How to clean gyms and sports halls

Crossfit and weight training gyms, boxing rings, tatami and other mats for floor exercises, dance halls, training rooms, school gyms, sports halls, indoor courts for team sports like volleyball, basketball, handball and athletics, etc. may seem totally different, but all these structures share one point in common: they are all indoor spaces dedicated to improving physical condition and state of mind through exercise and effort. And they all deserve to be kept clean in an optimal way.

These places need thorough cleaning during and after each session to prevent the proliferation of germs, bacteria, odours, moulds, ingrained dirt, etc.

So how can you keep sports and exercise facilities clean and healthy?
How do you clean a gym effectively?

Having good ventilation systems and using disinfectants to sanitise equipment is not always enough. Sanitising the floor is the first step to achieving optimal results. The floors are the largest surfaces in all these environments, and the surface onto which everything – sweat included – falls due to the law of gravity. In addition, people do not always enter gyms wearing perfectly clean shoes and this inevitably brings dirt into the environment.

Only proper sanitation of courts, mats, walkways and platforms can prevent the accumulation of dirt and the proliferation of potentially harmful germs.

Choosing a scrubber-dryer makes cleaning work so much faster and easier. 

Careful examination of the various models on the market will allow you to find the most suitable machine for each specific application, identify the most useful options and choose the most appropriate cleaning technology. Decisions should always be based on the types of flooring found in the sports centre, whether wood block, rubber, laminate, carpet tiles or PVC.

A scrubber-dryer, configured to suit the type of surface and application, lets you sanitise gym floors rapidly and without causing damage. Such a machine represents a major and immediate advantage for cleaning operators, from the point of view of hygiene, health and costs.

Imoco Volley

Pierpaolo Zanasi

Team Manager Imoco Volley

“The facility’s cleanliness is essential to us: a clean floor – be it the Taraflex flooring we use every Sunday or the Palaverde’s parquet flooring – is extremely important as it prevents our athletes from slipping during high-speed activities such as a game or training.”

“Why Eureka and Imoco? Because they are both important concerns. As we mentioned earlier, Imoco has recently strengthened its leadership, not just in Italy or Europe, but worldwide. With Eureka, we have established an important relationship allowing us to meet our needs in terms of keeping our courts clean.”

The main technologies Eureka uses for cleaning sports facility floors are:

  • ECOsystem – Eureka’s patented system for recycling cleaning solution. ECOsystem saves water, detergent and labour, significantly reducing cleaning costs.
  • FlowMaster – Another Eureka system for controlling the rate of cleaning solution dispensed to the floor, ensuring a flow proportional to the forward speed of the scrubber-dryer. FlowMaster ensures uniform cleanliness and prevents the application of excess cleaning solution, which is not only wasteful but could be hazardous for sports centre users. 
  • DoseMatic – An essential system for controlling the percentage of detergent added to the water in real time. DoseMatic ensures perfect cleaning results regardless of the level of dirt, improving hygiene and optimising running costs.
  • Chrome scrubber-dryers with stainless-steel frames  – Made to resist chlorine and therefore ideal for cleaning areas around swimming pools. Chrome® machines are also ideal for use in dressing rooms and relaxation areas with saunas or Turkish baths.
  • Superelastic non-marking wheels – Designed to avoid leaving black marks on the floor when turning, and essential for cleaning light-coloured floors.
  • Linatex squeegee drying blades.
  • Brushes, drive disks and pads - with specific features, made to meet all your cleaning needs while respecting delicate floors.
