Should I wipe down my treadmill after every use?

It’s proper gym etiquette to do so! Exposing other people to your sweaty, workout splatter spreads bacteria and can lead to infections. Extend the same courtesy to yourself, if you exercise at home; wipe down your machine with disinfectant wipes after you’ve completed your routine. Germs can live for hours or days—better safe than itchy!
