Melbourne's Most
Thorough Gym Locker
Room Cleaning
Your locker rooms and shower areas are the first space members experience after a workout — and the most hygiene-critical environment in your entire facility. Warm, damp conditions accelerate bacteria and mould growth faster than any other space in a gym. Without specialist daily cleaning, shower grout discolours and harbours fungal infections within weeks, drains block and develop odours, and lockers become breeding grounds for skin-contact pathogens.
Golden Star's gym locker room and shower cleaning service is specifically designed for wet area environments. We use TGA-approved anti-fungal and antibacterial disinfectants safe for tiles, chrome, stainless steel, and sealed surfaces. Our teams perform full daily sanitisation of every shower stall, every locker, every drain, and every touch-point — plus consumables restock — so members always arrive to a facility that feels genuinely clean.
"The locker room is the last impression a member takes home. If it smells, they leave — and they don't come back. It's that simple."
We also provide proactive mould prevention treatments on a scheduled basis, addressing grout penetration, surface sealing, and ventilation issues before they become costly remediation problems. Our teams work around your schedule — cleaning during low-traffic windows, before opening, or after closing — and provide a digital completion report after every visit.

Why Your Locker Room
Is Your Biggest
Hygiene Risk
Industry research consistently identifies gym locker rooms and shower areas as the primary source of member-acquired infections in fitness facilities. The combination of warm temperatures, constant moisture, shared surfaces, and high foot traffic creates an environment where bacteria, fungi, and viruses multiply far more rapidly than on dry gym equipment. Members who contract tinea, staph, or other infections from your facility rarely complain — they simply cancel their membership and leave negative reviews.
For gym operators, the duty of care obligations around wet areas are significant. WorkSafe Victoria guidelines require fitness facilities to maintain safe, clean amenities. Wet floor slip hazards, mould exposure, and exposure to infectious pathogens in a commercial facility can all create serious legal liability if not proactively managed with documented cleaning programs.

Our Mould Prevention
Program for Gym Showers
Reactive mould remediation — removing established mould after the fact — is expensive, disruptive, and often requires closure of wet areas. Golden Star's proactive mould prevention program stops mould before it establishes, saving you significantly on remediation costs and protecting your facility's reputation year-round.
Every daily clean includes application of TGA-approved anti-fungal treatment to grout lines, silicone seals, and corner junctions — the areas where mould establishes first.
Our team checks that exhaust fans and ventilation are functioning correctly on every visit. Poor ventilation is the primary cause of accelerated mould growth in gym showers.
On a quarterly schedule, we apply penetrating sealant to grout lines across all shower stalls to prevent moisture and mould spore penetration at the substrate level.
If our team identifies early signs of mould establishment, we document and immediately escalate to your facility manager with a recommended treatment plan — before it becomes a costly problem.
Professional mould remediation for a commercial gym shower block typically costs between $2,500 and $8,000 depending on the extent of penetration. Closure of wet areas during remediation typically results in membership complaints, temporary membership freezes, and reputational damage. A daily prevention program costs a fraction of a single remediation event.
Establishing
Remediation Cost
Silicone seals and grout lines should be inspected and retreated every 90 days in a high-use gym shower. We build this into every ongoing program automatically — you never need to track it.
Our 6-Step Wet Area Cleaning Process
A consistent, documented protocol applied on every single visit — the same standard every day, at every facility.
Team signs in, equips with wet area products and colour-coded cloths, and does a rapid visual assessment for any mould, damage, or blockage issues to escalate.
Anti-fungal and antibacterial disinfectant sprayed onto all tile surfaces, grout, drain surrounds, and fixtures — left to dwell for required contact time.
All surfaces scrubbed with appropriate non-scratch pads. Drains cleared of hair and soap residue, trap flushed, and drain surrounds treated for odour.
All locker surfaces, door handles, change benches, mirrors, and hairdryer stations sanitised with appropriate product and polished dry to prevent streaking.
All soap, paper, and sanitiser dispensers checked and restocked. Low-stock items flagged in the digital report. Sanitary bins relined.
Timestamped completion report generated and sent to your manager: zones cleaned, products used, time on site, consumables restocked, and any observations.

Locker Room & Shower Cleaning FAQs
Answers to what Melbourne gym operators ask us most before starting a wet area program.
How often should gym showers be professionally cleaned?
Gym shower areas should be professionally cleaned at minimum once daily. High-traffic facilities — particularly those with morning and evening peak periods — should schedule two cleans per day (AM and PM). In Melbourne's variable climate conditions, more frequent cleaning significantly reduces mould establishment risk and keeps odours fully under control throughout the day.
How do you prevent mould in gym showers?
Our mould prevention program combines daily anti-fungal treatment of grout lines and silicone seals, ventilation monitoring, and quarterly penetrating grout sealing. Mould requires moisture and organic material to establish — by eliminating both through daily treatment and maintaining properly functioning ventilation, we prevent it from ever taking hold. Early identification and same-day escalation means any emerging mould is caught at the surface, before it penetrates the substrate.
Do you restock soap and consumables?
Yes — consumables restocking is included in every wet area clean as standard. Our team checks and refills liquid soap dispensers, paper towel units, toilet paper, and hand sanitiser stations after every visit. When any item is running low and needs replenishing from your stock, we flag it in the digital completion report so your team can reorder before it runs out. We maintain par levels and alert you proactively.
How much does gym locker room cleaning cost?
Daily locker room and shower cleaning starts from $120 per day for smaller facilities with up to four shower stalls. Full wet area programs including toilets, vanities, and all changeroom areas start from $200 per day. Twice-daily cleans for high-traffic facilities start from $190 per day. Pricing depends on facility size and frequency. Call 0484 042 336 for a free site assessment and accurate quote.
What products do you use in wet areas?
All products used in wet areas are TGA-approved and specifically selected for both antibacterial and anti-fungal efficacy in humid environments. They are safe for ceramic tiles, porcelain, natural stone (where present), chrome, stainless steel, and sealed grout. We use colour-coded cloths to prevent cross-contamination between toilet areas and shower areas — a critical hygiene protocol that general cleaning companies frequently overlook.
Do you clean while the gym is open?
Yes — we're experienced at working in active facilities. For locker room cleaning, we typically work stall-by-stall, temporarily placing a closed sign on one stall while cleaning it before moving to the next. This means your facility can remain fully operational while we clean. For after-hours scheduling, we can complete a full uninterrupted clean of all wet areas in one session. The approach is determined by your preference.
Do you provide proof of cleaning for audits?
Yes. Every clean generates a timestamped digital completion report sent directly to your nominated manager. It documents time of arrival, time of completion, zones cleaned, products used, consumables restocked, and any maintenance observations. These reports are invaluable for OH&S audits, WorkSafe inspections, council compliance checks, and franchisor hygiene audits for gym groups.
Can you bundle this with equipment cleaning?
Absolutely — most of our Melbourne gym clients bundle locker room and shower cleaning with daily equipment cleaning and floor maintenance into a single full facility program. Bundled programs are priced at a reduced per-service rate compared to booking each service individually, and the benefit of a single team knowing your entire facility means faster, more consistent cleans every day.
