How do I clean the track on my treadmill?

Filed Under Treadmills 


I just purchased a used treadmill and after a couple uses I realized there is some cleaning residue on the track that actually makes it feel slightly slippery. Not sure what the previous owners used to clean it (Pledge?!?), but there is definitely a slick feeling on the bottom of my shoe when I get off. What can I use to get the track back to normal? It’s not safe for high speed running!

    get some TSP (trisodium phosphate) at the nearest hardware or building store. mix with water to the strength indicated on container and apply to the track. let sit for a few minutes and wipe off with clean water. make sure to get off all residue and wear gloves!! it will remove all oils and waxes. it is also not expensive and you can use it on tons of surfaces safely.
