Treadmills are among the most popular home exercise systems. But these expensive units are often neglected when it comes to cleaning. Properly cleaning and maintaining your treadmill is essential to its longevity. One of your treadmill's greatest enemies is the dust that accumulates on and underneath the treadmill belt. Fortunately, cleaning a treadmill is reasonably straightforward.
Step 1
Unplug the treadmill.
Step 2
Vacuum the top of the treadmill belt and underneath the unit, where dust can build up and accumulate on the belt. Use the bristled extension of your vacuum to clear dust from the treads, if possible.
Step 3
Wipe down the treadmill with a wet rag. Depending on the amount of dust, you may have to use several rags.
