Gems Spurs Gyms Into Action On Hygiene
A leading supplier of cleaning and hygiene products, Sheffield’s Gems Hygiene, is urging gyms and their members to be more proactive in the fight against CA-MRSA.
Gems boss, Dave Campbell, said: “This is one of the busiest times of the year for sports facilities and managers and gym users should be extra vigilant when it comes to hygiene, particularly in light of the risks posed by CA-MRSA.”
Community-acquired MRSA (known as CA-MRSA), could be a potentially serious threat to public health in coming years. It is currently less common than the hospital-acquired strain, but can be contracted in public facilities, with gyms and leisure centres being particularly high risk due to the sweaty residue left on equipment.
Mr Campbell added: “We are encouraging customers in the health and leisure industries to review their cleaning agents and ensure they are using an effective anti-bacterial product, such as Gems’ Sprint, to fight cross infection. The humid atmosphere in gyms makes them a breeding ground for all types of germs and it is vital that appropriate action is taken to wipe them out.”
Sprint is suitable for use in all public places, including sports facilities, schools and public washrooms and is non-corrosive, making it safe to use on water washable gym and medical equipment
