There are many hidden places in your office/workspace which are perfect stages for the unwanted, pathogenic germs including bacteria, viruses, funguses to breed and spread several diseases. Indeed those microscopic fellows might be thanking you for letting them build their unseen castles in your office. So, if you do not keep up with the required regular cleaning sessions at your work area, it exposes you and your entire team to a risk of getting sick with many diseases such as influenza, colds and even deadly COVID-19.

Here are a few places at your office where germs tend to hide.
Office Desk

It's hard to believe, but do you know that one of the most germ-ridden places in the office is your desk? Many individuals spend their days at a desk, using keyboards, computer mice and phones where the germs can quickly settle in. Some research on office desks has identified that it can facilitate 400 times more bacteria than the average of a toilet seat. Surprising huh!

So, clean it up! Make a habit of cleaning your office table before starting and ending your day. If you and your team do not have enough time for such regular cleaning chores with the heap of work you got, don’t worry. Our commercial cleaning services are available to deep clean your office environment daily, monthly or as required.

The Phone

When was the last time you wiped your office phone? We often use it but very rarely or never clean them right? We hold phones in our hands, press them against our ears and hair, and even breathe on them. So, just imagine if it's not just you who uses the phone, how germiest the office phone could be, when there is a high chance of spreading the Coronavirus in your office.

Therefore, next time when you use it, wipe it down and sanitize your phone. In case you forget, no worries as us; your commercial cleaner never misses a single inch of your office when disinfecting.

Coffee Mugs

As studies say, one out of every five office coffee mugs is contaminated with feces bacteria, and if you don't clean your mugs thoroughly after each use, you aid those bacterias to spread from one person to another. So it's a must to clean all coffee mugs and other kitchen items (especially if you have a kitchen/dining area at the office) after each use thoroughly.

You do not need to worry about these if you have already hired a professional, commercial housekeeper/cleaning team to take care of the hygiene of your office.

The Copy Machine

Did you know that the start button of the copy machine has more than 1.2 billion Colony Forming Units (CFU) per square inch and the average school toilet seat only has 3200 CFUs? The copy machine is one of the most wanted and shared items in every office, but provides a high chance of spreading germs.

Use hand sanitizers after using the copy machine as a habit to continue your personal hygiene, meanwhile your commercial cleaner will make sure it’s dust and germ free. That’s not all! The list of places and equipment where the germs are ready in action goes on as the lift, TV and AC remotes, fingerprint scanners, projectors, bathrooms, chairs, and many more.

You can be a perfect barrier to spreading germs just by following good personal sanitary practices. Moreover, you will need advanced cleaning processes to wipe germs hidden in the corners of your office building without making a hindrance to your core business activities.
