A clean workspace is good for business. That being said, most offices/workplaces are breeding grounds for germs. Workplace illness is one of the main causes of inefficiency and loss of productivity. It’s estimated that one person carrying a virus will infect 50% of all equipment and people in their vicinity within 4 hours. And 80% of infections are spread via contaminated surfaces and not through coughing and sneezing.
On average, office workers spend 5 hours and 41 minutes per day sitting at their desks and often share workstations, keyboards and mice, chairs, restrooms and other common areas found to harbor a wide array of microorganisms. A study funded by a grant from the Clorox Company found that surfaces in offices and cubicles had higher bacteria levels than surfaces in common areas like bathrooms and break rooms.
Telephones are the most popular germ home, followed by desks, water fountain handles, microwave door handles and computer keyboards. Surprisingly, toilet seats had the lowest bacteria levels of the 12 surfaces tested in the study.
