Gyms no longer smell like a gym or shouldn’t. Sweat, bacteria and other microorganisms, moisture and lack of ventilation, footwear and sportswear and the use of improper cleaning products are the cause of unpleasant odors and the most natural way to eliminate them with enzymatic cleansers such as Don Bio Fresh from G2 Green.
It is clear. Things don’t smell like they used to. Neither tomatoes nor public spaces. However, human smell is a wonderful sense. There are some who not only recognize themselves at any time and place, but are also able to travel even to the past. Towards very distant moments in time… The coffee on that Sunday morning; the freshly cut grass the first time you entered a football stadium; that of the gasoline of that road trip; and the humidity of the storage room where all these memories and some more are enclosed. Unmistakable all. There are many more. Lemon, lavender, roses… like that of plasticine or glue. However, what should never take anyone back to childhood is from the school gym. So characteristic that it is never forgotten.
Bad odors must be eliminated and the most natural way to do this is with enzymatic cleaners such as Don Bio Fresh from G2 Green. More efficient, no camouflage; reduces time and water consumption; biodegradable; and no health risks for people and pets.
Causes of unpleasant odors in gyms and sports centers
#1. Human sweat: It’s no secret. Sweat is a natural reaction of the body to physical exercise. It prevents overheating and helps regulate body temperature. In fact, according to The Journal of Physiology, during an intense workout you can release up to a liter per hour. The problem is that sweat isn’t just water. In addition, it contains, among other substances, urea and ammonium that, by themselves, already have a characteristic odor, but that intensifies when mixed with the bacteria present in the skin that decompose them making it even stronger and more unpleasant. And that’s multiplied by all the people who go to the gym simultaneously…
#2. Bacteria and other microorganisms: Mens sana in corpore sano. People like to go to the gym, but
germs even more
. The fastest, highest, and strongest can also be applied to all kinds of microorganisms. Between weight machines, yoga mats and, especially in changing rooms and showers they find the perfect environment to grow and proliferate. Perfect for viruses and bacteria and, of course, for mold development. They like humidity and poorly ventilated environments. Where they are, they will not only decompose all the organic matter they find, but they can also be a source of certain diseases.
No, not all products are used to wash sports equipment. Some chemical agents could accelerate their degradation and, in addition, it is difficult to eliminate odors in certain materials after use and the proliferation of bacteria that cause it..
#3. Humidity and lack of ventilation: Just to get an idea… In the weights and dumbbells of a gym there can be a concentration of bacteria 362 times higher than those usually found in the lid of a toilet and that is only the beginning. It is important not only to clean but also
to disinfect properly
. However, the problem of lack of ventilation in centers where sports and physical activity takes place goes further. In spaces where there is hardly any renewal and air circulation, bad odors are retained, but they can also be harmful to health due to the accumulation ofCO2 and the lack of fresh oxygen.
#4. Sportswear, towels and, especially footwear: Always in contact with the skin and at all times wet to absorb, precisely body sweat, but especially on the feet. By the way, one of the parts of the body that sweats the most with the particularity that inside the shoes there are just all the previous conditions, but much more extreme. A lot of humidity, even wearing socks, completely tight and closed with hardly any air and plenty of bacteria. It is not surprising therefore that next to the sports bag is one of the elements that generate the worst smell. Of course, there are solutions.
Don Bio Fresh from G2 Green not only eliminates bad odors, it also makes stains disappear as if by magic, it is safe for people’s health, it does not damage surfaces or materials and, in addition, it is very easy to use. It has it all!
#5. Lockers and changing rooms: Situation that is aggravated when stored after training in the lockers of the changing rooms. The space that undoubtedly smells the most like a gym. Slippers, wet clothes, other items and especially towels. In fact, research by Dr. Charles Gerba of the University of Arizona found that 90% of gym towels, even after being washed, were contaminated with bacteria that can cause very unpleasant odors and, of course, certain diseases. It happens exactly the same with the rest
of the training materials
such as mats, weights or cardio machines. Above all, if they are frequently used, it is essential to wash and disinfect them regularly.
#6. Unsuitable cleaning products: It is clear not everything goes when it comes to cleaning and eliminating bad odors. On many occasions low quality cleaning products or those that are not designed specifically for gyms are not effective in eliminating the cause that generates them. Of course,
not all cleaners eliminate viruses and bacteria
so they can be ineffective and give a false sense of security. Others can mask them temporarily, but after a while the effect disappears or even add some unwanted aroma. Sports centers no longer smell like a gym, but they can’t do it just anything either.
Enzymatic cleaners: the most natural way to eliminate bad odors
Therefore, the most natural solution to eliminate bad odors are enzymatic cleansers such as
Don Bio Fresh from G2 Green
. Composed of living microorganisms that produce enzymes. Biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions. They break down proteins from biological and organic debris into smaller ones. Exactly the same as in the human body or in the animal body, but in the case of enzymatic cleaners, this same process is used for another purpose. Different enzymes break down different types of stains and odors. Lipases act on those of fat or oil, proteases break down those of protein base and amylases fight carbohydrates and starches. Simple and effective.
Thus, G2 Don Bio Fresh
deodorizes any environment
and surface; immediate action thanks to the combination of surfactants and perfuming agents; Deep cleaning thanks to the action of microorganisms, it does not present corrosive effects on surfaces, equipment or materials…. It’s clear! Also in gyms, Think big, clean green!
