Sometimes cleaning your elliptical is as simple as wiping it with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Clean all part of the equipment. This includes the seat, screen, pedals, and handlebars. To remove sweat, residue and odor, it would be good to use a soft cloth dampened with water and a soapy solution. Clean it carefully but do not get it too wet. Avoid electronic parts when doing this. Then wipe it again with a clean, dry cloth to remove excess moisture.

Cleaning the rails and wheels is also an important thing to remember. Clean it thoroughly by removing dust or dirt from each rail. Silicone spray can be applied to these areas with a cloth.
