The Unseen Enemies in the Office
We all know that a clean office is a happy office, but do you know what’s lurking behind those shiny surfaces? Let’s meet some of the unseen enemies that might be sharing your workspace.
Influenza (Flu)
The flu isn’t just a winter nuisance; it’s a dangerously infectious disease that can spread like wildfire in an office setting. It’s airborne, so when someone sneezes or coughs, those germs are on the move! That’s why air quality is so crucial. We make sure to clean those air vents and keep the air fresh and clean.
Helicobacter pylori (Ulcer Bacteria)
Ever had a sharp pain in your stomach during lunch? It might be the work of Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that causes ulcers. Proper cleaning of common areas, especially the kitchen, can keep this pesky bacteria at bay.
Hepatitis A Virus
This one’s a tough customer. Hepatitis A can infect your liver, and it spreads through contaminated food and water. Our thorough cleaning services ensure that your break rooms and water coolers are spotless and safe.
Salmonella
Nobody wants food poisoning, especially from an office potluck! Salmonella can lead to some nasty symptoms, and it comes from undercooked or contaminated food. We’ll help you keep that kitchen spick and span.
Staph Bacteria
Small cuts and exposed skin can invite Staph bacteria, leading to infections and other skin problems. Regular cleaning of workstations and bathrooms can help prevent these issues.
The Battlefields – Top 5 Germ Hotspots
Germs are sneaky, and they love to hang out in places you’d least expect. Here’s a tour of the top 5 germ hotspots in the office, and don’t worry, we’ve got the battle plans to keep them under control.
Office Doorknobs
Hands up if you wash your hands every time you touch a doorknob! Not many, right? Doorknobs are like a germ party, and not everyone remembers to wash their hands. That’s why we make sure to give them a good cleaning regularly.
Keyboard and Mouse
Your keyboard and mouse might look clean, but they’re home to thousands of bacteria. A quick wipe with a disinfectant, and voila! They’re as good as new. We’ll help you keep those computer accessories germ-free.
Mugs
A cup of coffee is a morning ritual, but unwashed mugs can be breeding grounds for germs. We’ll ensure that your mugs are properly washed and dried, so you can enjoy your coffee without any unwanted guests.
The Office Photocopier
Photocopiers are essential, and everyone uses them. That means a lot of hands and a lot of germs. Regular cleaning of the photocopier’s surface can keep those flu viruses and other nasties at bay.
Elevator Buttons
Elevator buttons get pressed by hundreds, even thousands of hands every day. We’ll make sure those buttons are sparkling clean, so you can ride the elevator without a second thought.
