Approved and Compatible Cleaners
Two preferred cleaners have been approved by reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will
safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula
of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.
PureGreen 24 is available in a spray which is convenient for gym staff to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and
wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes
and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control.
Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes
on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.
Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email: [email protected]).
Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior
surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia
or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to
the equipment surfaces.
Removal of Paint, Marking Pens, or Labels
•Butyl cellosolve works well for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.
•Labels, stickers, etc. may be removed using kerosene. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat
(hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal. GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED.
