A gym that smells fresh at 5pm peak.
We clean gyms, fitness studios, leisure centres, and boutique fitness concepts across Scotland. EN 14476 virucidal disinfection, sweat-management protocols, and presentation that drives member retention. Day porters and overnight deep cleans.
Not a generalist. Not a franchise template.
A genuine sector-led protocol delivered by crews who know your regulatory landscape, your audit rhythm, and the cost of getting it wrong.
Gym cleaning is a discipline of disinfection and presentation. Members touch shared surfaces (weights, machines, mats, lockers) continuously, sweat transfers bacteria and viruses, and the smell of a gym at peak time is the single biggest driver of member churn. Maundy Clean has spent over a decade inside Scottish gyms — from independent boutique studios to multi-site leisure chains.
Our gym division operates a two-team model: a day porter team (6am–10pm) handling continuous touchpoint disinfection, equipment wipe-downs, changing room refresh, and bin emptying; and an overnight deep clean team (10pm–6am) handling floor machine-scrubbing, mat sanitisation, shower deep clean, and air-handling unit cleaning. Every task follows gym-specific protocols validated against EN 14476 virucidal standards.
We understand the rhythm of a gym: pre-work peak 6am–8am, mid-morning quiet, lunchtime rush 12pm–2pm, afternoon quiet, evening peak 5pm–9pm. Our crews work around all of it — day porters are part of the member experience (friendly, branded uniforms, never intrusive on workouts), overnight team does the heavy work. We never spray disinfectant near members — only pre-saturated wipes or pour-and-wipe methods during opening hours.
The frameworks we work to.
Every protocol, every checklist, every audit trail — mapped to the standards your regulator expects to see.
All shared touchpoints (weights, machines, mats, lockers) wiped with EN 14476 virucidal disinfectant — effective against influenza, HPV, athlete's foot fungus, and other gym-relevant pathogens.
Disinfectants meet EN 1276 bacterial efficacy — verified by batch certification. Critical for MRSA and staph control in shared-equipment environments.
Every product carries a current COSHH datasheet. We use low-fragrance, skin-safe products as standard — many members have eczema or sensitivities.
Gym floors (especially wet changing rooms and shower areas) are high-slip-risk. Anti-slip treatment, wet-floor signage, and spill response aligned to HSE SLIPS.
We include showerhead descaling, water outlet flushing, and temperature checks — critical for gyms with shower facilities.
For gyms with pools — pool hall cleaning, surround disinfection, and changing room sanitation aligned to PWTAG standards.

The pain points you stop worrying about.
We've spent years inside gyms & fitness studios operations. These are the issues we get called about most — and the protocols we've built to eliminate them.
Shared-equipment pathogen control
Weights, machines, mats, and lockers are touched by hundreds of members daily. MRSA, athlete's foot, ringworm, HPV — all transmittable via shared equipment. EN 14476 virucidal disinfection on every touchpoint.
Sweat and odour management
Gym smell is the single biggest driver of member churn. Our protocols address sweat at source — mat sanitisation, fabric upholstery extraction, air-handling unit cleaning, and active odour control (not just masking).
Member-present discretion
Members don't want to see mop buckets or smell bleach during their workout. Day porters use pre-saturated wipes and quiet equipment, wear branded uniforms, and work discreetly around workouts.
Peak-hour presentation pressure
5pm–9pm is peak — and it's also when the gym looks worst. Day porters handle continuous refresh during peak, with extra crews mobilised for the post-peak reset.
Multi-site leisure chain consistency
Multi-site gym chains need consistent standards across every site. We provide consolidated reporting, identical protocols, and a single account manager across all sites.
Member retention pressure
Cleanliness is consistently in the top 3 factors in gym member renewal decisions. Our protocols directly support retention rates — and we measure it via member satisfaction scores.
From first call to first clean in 7 days.
A structured mobilisation that respects your operational continuity — no gap in service, no surprises in scope.
Site walk-through
Our regional manager walks the gym with the operations manager. We map zones (gym floor, studios, changing rooms, reception, café), identify peak periods, and discuss member rhythm.

The difference is operational.
We don't win contracts on price. We win them on the things that show up in your audit scores, your staff feedback, and your bottom line.

Gyms & Fitness Studios — the questions we hear most.
Day porters use pre-saturated disinfectant wipes — quick, discreet, no spray, no smell. Wipe-down of a machine takes 30 seconds. Members are encouraged to wipe down after use (we provide wipes stations), and our porters do a deeper disinfection rotation throughout the day. During peak hours, we focus on high-touch touchpoints (handles, grips, mats) — full wipe-down of every machine happens overnight.
