Deodorize and Disinfect Sports Facilities and Equipment With SNiPER
How to Remove Odor and Disinfect Sports Facilities or A Fitness Center Effectively and Efficiently With SNiPER
SNiPER is the perfect product with which to disinfect and deodorize sports equipment because it is non-corrosive and non-abrasive. This means that you can spray the soft grippy parts and not worry that they will corrode under the assault of harsh chemical disinfectants. Additionally, SNiPER receives the lowest toxicity rating that the EPA gives out in all 4 categories (skin, eyes, lungs and if ingested). SNiPER is an all purpose cleaner that will deodorize and disinfect sports facilities quickly and safely. You can spray everywhere and not worry about corroding your equipment or creating indoor air quality issues for your patrons.
Get a Power Sprayer
The best sprayers are sometimes called “fogger” sprayers. You can dial up or down the droplet size for maximum efficiency and effectiveness and this also makes them a quick way to apply. The better type of foggers are electrostatic, which imparts an electrical charge to the liquid coming out of the nozzle giving it a “wrap-around effect. This means little to no waste, so they are even more efficient. You could also use an airless sprayer, but you will need to find the right nozzle. Airless sprayers are not as good as a fogger, but can be used if nothing else is available. A good power tool can make it easy and quick to disinfect sports facilities that are large and have a lot of equipment. SNiPER is non-corrosive and won’t harm that equipment.
Locker Rooms and Lockers
Use a fogger sprayer to spray the air, walls and ceiling. Adjust the spray settings to a larger droplet size for this application procedure. For routine maintenance, you can dilute by 4 parts water to one part SNiPER. If it is the first time to use SNiPER in a problem area, do not dilute – use it full strength to obtain maximum results. Once the area is back to its pristine state, you can go back to using a more dilute mix to obtain maximum efficiency. Spray everything to deodorize and disinfect locker rooms and lockers.
For lockers, empty them of their contents. Use your sprayer to thoroughly wet the interior. You can even spray the equipment while it is out of the locker.
Shower Areas
If you can see mold growing in shower areas, spray directly on the mold. Allow to air dry. Give the mold 2 days to finish dying and then clean away any crud remaining by scrubbing with a non-scratching scrub pad. If the moldy areas are large, use a ‘fogger’ such as the Fogmaster Jr or the to spray the entire area. Spraying the air will also kill spores. Spray the floor to kill the fungus that causes athletes foot and other irritating issues.
For ongoing maintenance, use the fogger to spray the entire area periodically. You can dilute SNiPER by 4 parts water to one part SNiPER for this type of maintenance.
Workout Areas and Floor Mats
Use the fogger to spray fitness equipment. Spray a light mist that evenly coats the equipment. Walk away and allow it to air dry. Spray, and walk away!
The EPA says that only hard surfaces can be “disinfected”, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be made clean. You can dilute SNiPER by 6 parts water to 1 part SNiPER for “Sanitizing”. Read this article to learn the difference between disinfecting and sanitizing.
Gym Bags
Brush away any gross stuff that might be accumulating on the fabric. Spray liberally making sure that no spots remain dry. Allow to air dry naturally. Use a gentle scrub brush to work over and remove any stubborn stains.
Sportswear
Some plastic clothing can develop a stink that is hard to get rid of, because plastic is actually quite porous and the pores can become filled with sweat and microbes that produce the stink. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to simply spray the clothing items directly. Instead, find a small washtub that is just big enough to hold all the clothing. Add enough water so that when you put the clothes in, they can be completely covered by the water. Add 3 – 6 oz of sniper and mix it a little. Add the clothes and allow to soak. The longer the soak time, the less SNiPER is required to remove the stink. You may want to experiment a bit to see what delivers best results for you.
Some Things to Bear in Mind
You can dilute SNiPER by 6 parts water to one part SNiPER for sanitizing (kills 99.9% of germs). For first time usage or in highly contaminated areas, go with full strength for maximum effect, which is disinfecting (kills 99.999% of germs). For routine cleaning and maintenance, “sanitizing” is likely to be sufficient. Even with routine maintenance, you may still need to do a full treatment with undiluted SNiPER once or twice a year.
For both disinfecting and sanitizing, allow the surfaces you are cleaning to remain wet for 5 – 10 minutes. The longer it remains wet, the greater the disinfecting effect. Allowing it to air dry will produce the strongest effect.
You can clean, deodorize and disinfect sports facilities and equipment with SNiPER disinfectant, without harming the equipment.
