Did you know that the equipment on your office desk can be up to four hundred times more dirty than the average toilet seat? I know shocking isn’t it?
This is why you should consider enlisting the services of a Commercial Cleaning Company Cheltenham based like cleaningcompanycheltenham.co.uk/ Especially as some of the germs and viruses that are present on your desk can cause some of the illnesses that companies are affected by each year. The common cold, stomach viruses and even the flu can survive on surfaces for a number of days and this contributes to the number of sick days that a company has to deal with each year. A commercial cleaning company can come in daily or weekly to give your office surfaces a thorough clean to help reduce the instances of illness in your company. This is especially important as it is thought that only around 3 percent of companies adequately clean their own surfaces.
Here are some other statistics that may surprise you:
- There are reportedly around 16 million microbes on the average computer keyboard – that’s enough to have your reaching for the antibacterial wipes!
- There are over 25,000 microbes per square inch of office telephones – yes and you put these up to your face and mouth numerous times a day.
- Over 1,500 microbes exist per square inch on a computer mouse
- In comparison to this there are around 49 microbes per square inch of your average toilet seat.
So why the big difference? Well we are all more than aware of the germ potential that exists on and around toilet seats and so many of us both at home and in our places of work ensure that they are cleaned on a regular basis with antibacterial cleaner and even make use of toilet cleaners that are permanently placed inside the toilet rim. However, most of us are blissfully unaware of the germs that congregate on our workplace equipment and so most people very rarely if ever clean the surfaces of their desks and computers.
When you combined this with the fact that an average office worker will come into contact with around 10 million bacteria a day with around 32 percent of people admitting to not regularly washing their hands are visiting the toilet and only 30 percent saying they used hot water to clean their hands.
