Clean yoga studio health. We sweat it so you don’t have to.

Clean yoga studio health. We sweat it so you don’t have to.

Did you know that how your yoga studio is cleaned can impact the physical and mental well-being of everyone in it?

The EPA says our indoor air is 2 – 5 times more polluted than the outdoors.

That’s largely because many of the chemical ingredients in cleaners, disinfectants and pesticides can introduce health risks into the space.
Exhaust fans and open windows are typically absent in commercial settings so chemical solutions, vapors and residues build up over time and create hazards you may not want to introduce to your clientele or staff.
Neurological disorders, behavioral disorders, reproductive disorders, blood and organ diseases, asthma and allergies and other health problems have been linked to chemicals in cleaning products.

Create a cleaner, healthier yoga sanctuary for the people that trust you.

Now you can have your studio and offices cleaned with Advanced Building Maintenance’s standardized approach which uses products, equipment, and methods that have been tested over hundreds of cleanings for effectiveness and health safety.
Advanced Building Maintenance’s Green Clean Service is the most consistent and thorough cleaning available today.
We use Green cleaning solutions certified by Green Seal, which are effective for the job and also provide the following health precautions.
  • Contain no reproductive toxins
  • Contain no neurotoxins
  • Contain no carcinogens
  • Contain minimal Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) to reduce harmful fumes
  • Are non-combustible
  • Contain no harmful fragrances
  • Contain no endocrine disrupters
  • Reduce packaging and freight demands on the environment
  • Contain phosphorous levels that are environmentally safe
We use multi-HEPA filtration canister vacuums that are proven to remove 99.9% of indoor pollen, pet dander, dust, dust mites and other respiratory irritants – instead of traditional vacuums, which leave 3 times more particles behind in scientific tests.

Advanced Building Maintenance’s Yoga Studio Cleaning Specialty

Yoga is a great way to stretch out and relax after a day full of working and dreaming about changing the world. Also, yoga is so much about cleaning your body from the inside out, or saucha, in Sanskrit. Advanced Building Maintenance wants the opportunity to clean your studio. Yoga teachers always stress the importance of mindfulness – being fully aware of your every breath, move and action. It’s also equally important to do this in a clean yoga studio.
The flooring in yoga studios is sometimes cork which isn’t the easiest material to clean because of its super absorbent nature. But most cork floors have sealant on them and can therefore withstand light moisture. So water mixed with a neutral cleaner (Murphy oil or vinegar will work) solution works well. Just make sure to wring out the mop well before using it on the floors. Although the cork is sealed, heavy water can still damage it.
Yogis love incense and you may too. To keep your incense from creating a sticky ash on walls and surfaces, have Advanced Building Maintenance’s cleaning experts clean the walls of your yoga studio today.

Create a healthy environment for growth and development in your yoga classes—not a haven for germs and diseases.

Dust mites. Parasites. Viruses. And virulent bacteria. Practice or teach yoga in a group, and these bugs will be beside you as you move from Surya Namaskar to Sarvangasana. It’s enough to make a yogini sick—unless you take careful steps to guard against germs.
Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, saucha or cleanliness is considered an essential niyama or self-discipline. And across New York City, SanMar is helping yoga teachers keep their studios clean by are honoring this precept as they scrub mats, mop floors, and work to combat the growing number of illnesses and infections that are related to group fitness.
How does contamination happen? Bacteria can survive for several hours to several days on inanimate surfaces, while viruses can actually linger for weeks. Warm, humid conditions such as those found in hot yoga, vinyasa, or ashtanga—or a restorative class on a summer day—are the perfect breeding ground for these bugs. America’s 15.8 million yoga practitioners also play a part.
How many types of germs lurk in a group yoga setting? Literally thousands. Just walking across an unsanitary studio floor is enough for a yogini to catch athlete’s foot (a rash that leaves blisters between the toes), plantar warts (thick, raised patches of discolored skin on the bottom of the foot), or ringworm (round, red rings on the skin).
Even worse? Staphylococcus. More than 30 percent of people are silent carriers of this bacteria, which can be especially virulent in one form: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Named for the way it shrugs off antibiotics, MRSA was once the scourge of hospitals but has, since the 1990s, spread to fitness and yoga centers.
An estimated 2 million Americans carry MRSA, which can penetrate the skin through a small cut and become a large pus-filled abscess within an hour. In six percent of cases, community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) poisons the blood and leads to full-blown sepsis.
Unlike restaurants (overseen by health departments) and gyms (following guidelines set by the International Health, Racquet and Sports club Associations), yoga studios aren’t subject to strict sanitary standards. That’s why they’ve suffered bedbug and water contamination—and why instructors and studio administrators need to clean up their acts, working together to take joint responsibility for maintaining studio cleanliness.

Ask about SanMar’s yoga studio’s cleaning routine.

Bikram Yoga centers, where students sweat through 105-degree heat in 40 percent humidity, require heavy-duty cleaning of carpets (twice a week) and mats (three times a day). Smaller or less-frequented studios may need to clean mats anywhere from daily to weekly. Regardless of the setting, ask the same questions: Are towels laundered after each use? Are bathrooms cleaned, floors mopped, and surfaces scrubbed on a regular basis?

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a janitorial company?


A janitorial service should be chosen by first defining needs and wants and developing a plan to meet those needs and wants at the most economical price.

If cost is your most important factor, make this known when calling potential service providers. There are many inexpensive service providers available, however, with lower costs you may be sacrificing quality, consistency and reliability.

Our company provides all of these qualities at a competitive price.


How much will the service cost me?


The cost depends on the level of service you request and the type of services needed to meet your requests. The largest driver of cost in cleaning service industry is the cost of labor (including payroll taxes and insurances). Cost of service is based on how many labor hours it requires to effectively and thoroughly clean your space.
