The Importance Of Office Cleaning
Did you know that “the average office desk harbours 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat?” [ source ] Just think of how many germs are on desks and shared workplace items such as office desk phones and computer keyboards. In order to ensure the productivity and wellbeing of your employees, it is essential that you maintain a clean and hygienic working environment. So here’s a list of 3 tips to help you keep your office squeaky clean.
3 Tips To Help You Keep A Clean Office
1. Use Quality Products
Simply put, office cleaning is essential to the smooth running of any
office environment. So it’s very important that you only utilise high
quality products that keep the office environment clean and hygienic.
If left untidy and unclean, your workplace can be a haven for bacteria such
as e-coli and Staphylococcus; according to a study by Dr Charles P Gerba
from the University of Arizona, office desk phones were found to have “over
25,000 organisms per surface”. This further emphasises the need for high
quality cleaning products that kills 99% of harmful bacteria. After all,
those bacteria could cause employees to take time off sick, which
ultimately can affect the bottom line of your business.
2.
Don’t Forget About The Simple Steps
However, whilst high quality cleaning products are very useful for
maintaining a clean and hygienic work environment, it is also important
that you don’t forget about the simple cleaning steps, such as washing your
hands with soap. It is essential that you make sure all employees have
access to soap in areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Another simple cleaning step that is essential for the smooth running is
dusting. The term dust refers to a wide range of pollutants in the air
which are often so small they cannot be seen by the naked eye. It can
contain things such as dead animal skin cells, microscopic organisms,
pollen, or even small pieces of rock.
For the most part, ‘large’ dust particles often cause no harm at all; they
are trapped in the nose or mouth, able to be breathed out or swallowed.
However, smaller particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, and ultrafine
particles can be absorbed into the blood stream. These smaller particles
are the main concern as they can cause a wide range of health issues such
as coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, and respiratory conditions such as
asthma.
3. Hire A Professional London Based Office Cleaner
Whilst it is true that all your employees could ‘chip in’ and help to
maintain a clean workspace, every minute they spend cleaning their
workspace is a minute they’re not doing the job you’re paying them to do.
If you’re currently working in an office that is not serviced by
professional cleaners, the chances are you’re missing out on one of the
simple pleasures of working in an environment that is regularly and
thoroughly cleaned. With the assistance and services of professional
cleaners from The Cleaning Academy, you’ll be able to breathe deep,
enjoying the fresh clean scents, not the stench of stale air mixed with
