Is Your Office A Clean And Healthy Place To Be?

Where do you usually eat your lunch? At your office desk or sitting on the toilet?

I guess most of you would choose to eat at your office desk, wouldn’t you? I might be able to persuade you differently. Did you know that there is more bacteria on your average office desk than on a toilet seat? Researchers working with Arizona University collected samples from 100 different office buildings across United States to confirm previous findings showing there was around 425 times as much bacteria on the office desk tan on the toilet seat. Surprised? Is your Aberdeen office cleaner cleaning the most important of your office building? Find out here.

Right now you probably have a keyboard sitting in front of you. On average that keyboard will likely to have over 3,000 microbes in every square inch. Move that mouse sitting it and you will be potentially contacting over 1700 microbes per square inch. Don’t panic but pick up the telephone to find a office cleaning company and you will be speaking into an office accessory with 25,000 microbes per square inch.

The Alba Office Cleaning company regularly visits offices across Aberdeen to speak to staff who use a different contract cleaning company and occasionally finds a place where cleaning priorities are not fully worked out.

One such visit brought me in front of a very serious and formal office manager who said she was concerned about the lack of standards with all the office cleaners she had used. Almost every one of them would occasionally forget to pick up a paper clip she had dropped on the floor beside her desk.

I asked her which was the most important job for the cleaner in the office around the desks. To be told to make sure that the bins were emptied and the floor was cleaned every day but office staff would clear their own desk so papers were not disturbed. With her permission I spread a few clean sheets of paper from her printer on the desk. Tipped her own keyboard upside down and tapped it a few times to remove the crumbs, bits of skin and dirt from between the keys. The new cleaning contract we put into that office set priorities on staff welfare and ensuring areas not used much were downgrading as to the number of cleans needed each week.

I simply ask that when drawing up office cleaning schedules we give more attention to the welfare of office staff to get maximum performance from them.
