As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact daily life, some fitness facilities remain closed or operating at limited capacity. And while open gyms are likely well-stocked with disinfectant spray and wipes, many people still feel more comfortable sweating with a home workout.<\/p>\n<p>Thing is, you probably don\u2019t clean off your home workout gear as diligently as you would the machines at the gym. But just because you&#8217;re not sharing germs with other gym-goers, that doesn&#8217;t mean you should overlook a proper cleaning routine.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know about how often you should be wiping down your at-home equipment, the best way to do it, and more.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>If You Sweat Alone<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your approach to cleaning your yoga mat, dumbbells, or whatever home gym equipment you use depends on who uses it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are working out at home and not sharing your workout equipment, you do not need to disinfect it,\u201d says Dr. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mccormick.northwestern.edu\/research-faculty\/directory\/profiles\/hartmann-erica.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erica Hartmann<\/a>, Ph.D., assistant professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University. \u201cThe point of disinfection is to inactivate pathogens (germs) that might remain after cleaning to prevent the spread of disease. If you\u2019re not sharing equipment, the equipment itself won\u2019t be getting anyone sick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If this is the case for you, you simply need to thoroughly <em>clean <\/em>your equipment about once a week to get rid of bacteria, germs, dirt, and grimy sweat that might have amassed during your workouts.<\/p>\n<p>For that, all you need is soap and water. \u201cI recommend cleaning with a mild detergent, or soap and water,&#8221; says Hartmann. &#8220;And I look for products that don\u2019t have strong scents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still tempted to disinfect, know this: Overusing disinfectants can negatively impact your cleaning efforts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/home-strength-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How To Level Up Your Home Strength Training Without Heavy Weights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is that our disinfectants do not distinguish between \u2018good\u2019 and \u2018bad\u2019 microbes,\u201d says Hartmann. \u201cSo, in trying to get rid of viruses, we expose bacteria to disinfectants. The more we expose bacteria to disinfectants, the more likely they are to develop resistance, both to the disinfectant itself and sometimes to medically-necessary antibiotics.&#8221; When this happens, bacteria, which may otherwise be harmless, can become very problematic.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>If You Share Your Equipment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If multiple people in your household are using the same equipment, then disinfection may be\u00a0 more necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe point of disinfection is to inactivate pathogens (germs) that might remain after cleaning to prevent the spread of disease,\u201d says Hartmann. \u201cIf there are multiple people in your household and you\u2019re all going out and about separately, each person might individually come into contact with the virus on their own. Let\u2019s say one person has to go into work and another is working from home. The person who leaves the house might then become infected and (obviously unknowingly) spread the virus at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In that case, you want to disinfect between every use.<\/p>\n<p>That said, if you and whoever you work out with are staying home <em>and<\/em> seemingly healthy, disinfection doesn\u2019t need to happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My partner and I both work from home and aren\u2019t going out much, so we\u2019re both pretty low risk,\u201d Hartmann says. \u201cWe are probably far more likely to infect each other while snuggled up on the couch watching endless hours of TV and laughing (so generating a lot of aerosols while in close physical proximity for an extended period) than by using the same yoga mat on separate occasions, so our workout gear never gets disinfected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/home-workout-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">7 Home Workout Mistakes That Mess With Your Fitness Results<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead, Hartmann<em> cleans <\/em>her equipment as it accumulates dirt and dog hair.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, though, \u201cif you\u2019re working out at home and sharing equipment, do not share it with someone who is sick,\u201d says Hartmann.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Best Way To Disinfect Workout Equipment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you need to disinfect your workout gear, there are two common ingredients you can use: bleach and alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>To disinfect with bleach, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/prevent-getting-sick\/disinfecting-your-home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CDC recommends<\/a> creating a solution of five tablespoons (1\/3 cup) of bleach in a gallon of water (or four teaspoons bleach per quart of water).<\/p>\n<p>To disinfect with alcohol, use a solution that contains at least 70 percent alcohol, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/prevent-getting-sick\/cleaning-disinfection.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">says the CDC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Which method is best for your workout equipment depends on whether the surface is porous or non-porous, says Hartmann. Certain disinfectants can break down certain materials faster.<\/p>\n<p>For example, rubber is a porous surface, and bleach can break it down. The same goes for foam (i.e., your yoga mat or foam roller). If you\u2019re not sure of your equipment\u2019s surface, do a quick Google search to be certain it\u2019s compatible with your cleaner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou may want to do a spot check to make sure the product doesn\u2019t damage your workout equipment,\u201d says Dr. Hartmann.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, \u201cregardless of what cleaning product you use, read the ingredients and use as directed,\u201d adds Hartmann.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also important to remember that cleaning products and disinfectants can also themselves be harmful to humans,\u201d Hartman says. \u201cFor example, bleach is an irritant for your skin, eyes, and lungs, so you want to make sure the area you\u2019re cleaning is well ventilated. Too much exposure to cleaning products can cause immediate adverse reactions.\u201d Case in point: Calls to U.S. poison centers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/69\/wr\/mm6916e1.htm?s_cid=mm6916a1_e&amp;deliveryName=USCDC_921-DM26466\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have increased by 20 percent since<\/a> the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Another tip to keep in mind: Your equipment isn\u2019t disinfected the moment you spray or wipe it down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHousehold bleach, for example, needs to sit on a surface for 10 minutes before you wipe it off,\u201d says Hartmann. Alcohol-based cleaners, meanwhile, need anywhere from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/pesticide-registration\/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2-covid-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">30 seconds to 10 minutes<\/a> to do their job.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><em>Diggin\u2019 What\u2019s Good?
