During National Cleaning Week, it’s a good time to look a little closer at the spaces we use every day.
Because when it comes to germs in the workplace, the dirtiest spots aren’t always the most obvious.
Studies have found:
• Desk surfaces can have up to 400x more bacteria than a toilet seat
• Keyboards and phones are among the most contaminated items in an office
• Breakroom sponges and sink areas often carry the highest levels of bacteria in a facility
• Door handles, light switches, and shared equipment are some of the most frequently touched and least disinfected surfaces
These high-touch, high-traffic areas are easy to overlook during routine cleaning, but they make a big impact on workplace health.
At Office Pride, we focus on the details others miss, with consistent processes and targeted disinfection that help reduce the spread of germs where it matters most.
Because a truly clean workplace goes beyond what you can see.
