Surprising Germ Heavens in Your Office

What Are the Areas in Your Office That Your Janitorial Service Provider May Skip Cleaning?

Germs are everywhere, and being paranoid about them won’t keep you from getting sick. However, considering that we spend a lot of time in our offices and on our desks, you should be aware of the places where germs thrive the most. Identifying these areas will help you make a more efficient work plan for your janitorial service provider.

Computer Keyboard and Mouse

You may think that as long as you’re the only one who uses your computer, your keyboard and mouse won’t pose a threat to your health. Well, the statistics say otherwise. According to a recent study, computer peripherals, such as keyboards, are the most prone to bacteria and germs. Unfortunately, janitorial service providers rarely have the time to clean these surfaces, so we suggest you take matters into your own hands and wipe down your desk and computer peripherals weekly.

Office Door frame

Everyone knows that door handles are a magnet for germs, but nobody thinks about them. However, this doesn’t mean that they are as clean as you’d expect them to be. Just think about all the people that pop into your office and stand on the doorway running their hands on the door frame. Everyone does it. That is why you must have your janitorial cleaner include door frame disinfection in their cleaning tasks.

Fridge

Fridges can get out of control fast. Food that has been forgotten in your office refrigerators can cause severe health problems for your employees. Although janitorial cleaning service providers are supposed to clean your fridges, many times, they do it only superficially since they don’t want to touch other people’s food. We suggest you implement an office-wide toss day. This can be every week or every two weeks when all the food in the fridge will be tossed.

If you want to have a clean and healthy office, then you must hire a professional janitorial cleaner. Ann's Cleaning Service is located in Federal Way, WA, and we offer reliable and affordable services. Call us at (425) 652-2336 for more information.
