5 Places in your office that are often missed when cleaning

With workplace hygiene more important than ever, here are just a few places in your office that may be getting missed by your current commercial cleaners.

Missing these important areas could lead to the overall cleanliness of your office reducing significantly. 

1) Lift buttons 

Staff and visitors will be pressing the call buttons all day, every day. This can result in a high build-up of bacteria, which is then spread throughout your workplace. 

2) Door handles

Everyone uses door handles to get around the workplace. The more people that do, the larger the variety of germs that can pass from person to person. We know that door handles sound like quite an obvious germ hotspot, but it’s important to note that the more obscure ones such as the handles to the refrigerator, microwave or cupboard doors can easily get overlooked.

Our team of commercial cleaners can offer peace of mind that all handle types will undergo a deep clean every time we clean your premises.

3) Desktops 

The facts concerning the number of bacteria on a typical office keyboard will not be news to most. Your staff’s computer screens and keyboards get more contact than any other office equipment, yet they’re often overlooked.

It has been found that on every square inch of the keyboard and mouse, there are more than 3,000 and 1,600 micro-organisms respectively. For this reason, both should be cleaned frequently.

 4) Telephones

Telephones have small spaces in between the buttons where dirt and germs can accumulate. If your staff rotate desks or are sharing a telephone, you must make sure you have a commercial cleaner that disinfects the phones regularly. This will lower the risk of multiple staff members becoming ill.

You can rest assured that, as your trusted commercial cleaners, we will think of every single detail to prevent sickness in your workplace. 

5) Vending machines

Vending machines are often overlooked simply because they only contain packaged food items. As with lift buttons, the buttons on a vending machine are home to a large number of bacteria. As your commercial cleaners, we will think of these surfaces as food prep areas as that is how they should be treated.
