Updated: Mar 26, 2024




Hey, fitness fanatics! Jamie Lee here, your science-savvy scribe]. Today, I've got a tale to tell—a story of grit, grime, and the unsung hero in your quest for a squeaky-clean workout haven. Brace yourselves, for we're diving into the exhilarating world of using hydrogen peroxide to buff up your gym equipment!


Picture this: It's a bustling Monday morning at the gym, dumbbells clinking, treadmills humming, and the smell of determination in the air. But lurking beneath the sheen of sweat and dedication is a less glamorous reality—germs and bacteria thriving on the very equipment meant to sculpt your dream physique.


Enter Allied Science 12% hydrogen peroxide, a fitness fairy godmother ready to transform your gym experience. It was during one particularly adventurous cleaning spree that I stumbled upon this magic elixir. Armed with a bottle of 12% hydrogen peroxide, I set out to wage war against the invisible enemies inhabiting the gym equipment.


The first conquest was the treadmill, a battlefield of footprints and mystery substances. With a mixture of one part 12% hydrogen peroxide to three parts water, I concocted a potent cleaning potion. Armed with a microfiber cloth, I attacked the treadmill's rubberized surface, watching as the hydrogen peroxide fizzled away the grime. The result? A pristine running surface that begged to be conquered.


Next up was the weight bench, a stalwart defender against gravity and, unfortunately, a breeding ground for bacteria. A quick spray of the hydrogen peroxide solution and a wipe-down later, and the bench was not only spotless but also disinfected, ready for the next warrior in line.


But the real hero of this tale is the yoga mat—a humble piece of equipment often overlooked in the hygiene quest. A generous spritz of the hydrogen peroxide mixture, a thorough rub-down, and voilà! A clean, germ-free sanctuary for your downward dogs and warrior poses.


Now, the magic mixture:



Ingredients:
