Offices buzzing with phones ringing, people in the halls chattering – but sometimes there is a chorus of coughs, sneezes, and sniffles too. 

keeping your personal space clean and microbe-free can help prevent the spread of illness in your workplace. There is multiple areas around you that are filled with germs and bacteria. 

Employees in your organization are the backbone of your company. Employees’ performance is directly tied to a company’s bottom line. But when your employees are ill, they can’t perform at their highest level which can negatively impact your business’s bottom line. Lost productivity, missed work hours, and spreading their illnesses to other team members are just a few of the negative effects that sick employees can have on your organization. Therefore it is very important that you take every action possible to ensure that you have a safe and healthy workplace.

It is important to know the areas that are most likely to contribute to the illness.

Mobile Phone

This device harbors microbes from your hands, face, and mouth. It is important to sanitize your phone before you take one more phone call.

Unplug the device

Use a lint-free cloth and a cleaning solution to gently wipe the entire surface. Use a disinfecting wipe on the handset – pay attention to surfaces that come closest to your mouth.

Water Bottle

The water bottle should not be a permanent fixture on your desk. Bring your water bottle home daily Wash the bottle with dish detergent and warm water

Computer Keyboard and Mouse

A recent case study by Consumer Watchdog revealed that the average office keyboard and mouse had more germs than office toilets. Chances are that the restrooms are cleaned regularly by professional cleaners. But who is cleaning your personal keyboard? Turn your computer off and unplug the keyboard and mouse.

Use a can of compressed air to release dust from the keyboard. Dip cotton swabs in a mild cleaning solution and wipe the surfaces between each key. Use a lint-free cloth and the cleaning solution to gently wipe all surfaces

Snacks

Food crumbs can be a breeding ground for bacteria or pests. Don’t be the co-worker who welcomes either into the office. Keep all food in sealed containers. Do not eat lunch at your desk. If you do have a snack, be sure to use a plate and thoroughly wipe the surface afterward.

Desktop

This is the last thing to clean after all other items are cleaned and disinfected that sit on the desktop. Remove any papers or clutter from your desktop. Use disinfectant wipes to thoroughly clean the entire surface. Do not ignore spaces that are not easily accessible – lift photo frames to wipe underneath them
