House Cleaning West Seattle have few tips that help you in keeping your gym equipment clean and germ free during the house cleaning.

 

1. Equipment

During the house cleaning process just the same as we workout in gym it causes our body to sweat and sweat comes germs. These germs can be transferred to the equipment in no time from our hands as when we are working out they tend to touch the equipment. These germs can be cleaned up in no time from the equipment with the disinfecting spray made with ingredients that our available in our homes. In a spray bottle take a cup of water and a cup of vinegar shake it well. Then spray this mixture onto your equipment and wipe it clean. This will give you a clean and germ free equipment in no time during house cleaning. 

 

2. Weights

During the house cleaning process just like other gym equipment’s weights also come in contact with your sweat which means germs reside down on them too. Especially because the weights are in contact with your hands most of the time. So whatever is stuck on your hands is transferred to the weights as well. For the house cleaning you will need Lukewarm water in it add a few drops of dish soap mix it well then dip in a microfiber cloth and wipe the weights with this solution. Once the weights are wiped with a dampened cloth then use a dry cloth to dry the weights off and you will have clean germs free weights in no time.

 

3. Yoga mat

During the house cleaning process the last thing that needs to be disinfected is the yoga mat. It is necessary that we disinfect the yoga mat, because other things just come in contact with our hands but a yoga mat also comes in contact with our body. This could not only transfer germs but can also be a source of bacteria that could cause us acne.

So to disinfect the yoga mat take half a bucket of hot water to it add a few drops of dish soap. Then dip in cloth in this solution and wipe clean the mat.  After this rinse the mat, once all the soap has been rinsed off then use a dry cloth to dry the mat. Let the mat hang for a night so that it dries off properly before use.
