After Class Cleaning
Step 1: LAY OUT all equipment utilized in your square
- Spread out all equipment that you utilized in your session
- Plates, dumbbells, barbells, kettle bells, abmats, etc.
STEP 2: Spray the entire area (and equipment) with a light mist
- Make sure everything gets a light misting from your Sanitol spray bottle
- You do NOT need to soak things - just make sure everything facing up gets lightly misted
- Let it sit for minimum 2 minutes
STEP 3: WHILE IT SOAKS - WIPE DOWN 'HANDLES'
- Sanitol takes 5+ minutes to fully kill all the COVID - so while side 1 of your equipment 'soaks' wipe down your handled pieces
- This includes pull-up bars, rings, handles of kettle bells & dumbbells, barbell center
- Also take this time to wipe down things that can't be sprayed - like your rower screen
STEP 4: FLIP IT & SPRAY IT AGAIN
- After wiping down all the 'handled' things it's time to spray the other side of your equipment
- Flip over your plates, roll your barbell, spin your dumbbell & lightly mist it all again
STEP 5: ENTER YOUR SCORES IN SUGARWOD
- Give the Sanitol a few minutes to 'settle in' on the 2nd side of your equipment
- Utilize this time to enter your scores into SugarWOD! (How do I do that?)
- Remember - coach will NOT be entering any scores for you anymore!
STEP 6: PUT IT BACK
- Now that the 2nd side of everything has had a few minutes to soak you can put it back how you found it
- If your equipment is still 'damp' that's ok!
- If there's any excess liquid pooling - please wipe it up with the provided cloth
- Coach will instruct you whether to leave your equipment in your square or where to return it to
- Give air high 5s to your coach & fellow RAthletes & once coach gives you the thumbs up you're good to go!
