What Is Locker Room & Shower Cleaning?

Locker room and shower cleaning goes beyond mopping the floor. It involves systematic disinfection of all surfaces — benches, lockers, shower stalls, drains, floors, walls, and changing areas — using products effective against the specific pathogens that thrive in humid environments: staph, MRSA, ringworm, athlete's foot, and mold.

These areas see bare skin, open cuts, and sweat — making them prime transmission points for infection. A compromised locker room can undo everything you do right on the mat.

Our Process

  • Drain cleaning: Clear and disinfect floor drains where pathogens accumulate.
  • Shower stall disinfection: Full scrub and EPA-approved disinfectant application on floors, walls, and fixtures.
