Welcome to the AB Forum

[font='Tahoma','sans-serif']We currently supply wipes to our customers so they can wipe down the equipment when they are finished with their workout, but they seem to be very expensive. We are considering removing the wipes and replacing them with paper towels and a spray bottle of disinfectant cleaner and want to get feedback from others who use this method. I would like to know what type of cleaner/disinfectant you use and approximate cost per use.

If you have used both methods please share your thought on each and if you can give us an idea of difference in costs. [/font]

Wiping down equipment before and/or after use should be priority #1. Supplying the most cost effective and efficient equipment cleaning system is frequently the challenge. Our research shows that wipes systems cost 3-10+ times as much as a spray bottle and paper towel or cloth towel (the most cost-efficient choice!) based system. We supply the industry's #1 holder for spray bottles the GymValet--that attaches directly to your equipment. We also sell high-quality cleaner/disinfectant, as well as all of the supplies necessary to assemble a "clean and green" equipment cleaning system. I have written/researched extensively on this subject; the following link will take you to Benefits and Hygiene section of the GymValet web site (www.gymvalet.com) that will show you the relative economics of three commonly used equipment cleaning systems: https://www.gymvalet.com/benefits.html. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your options for improving your equipment cleaning system. We can save you A LOT of money with better sanitizing results. Immediately!!
