Is Your Office A Clean And Healthy Place To Be?
It is time for your meal break where would you normally choose to eat? Do you sit on a toilet seat or at your office desk?
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.
However, I have news for you that computer keyboard that is sitting in front of you right now had on average around 3,300 microbes per 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.
Alba Office Cleaning company is regularly in touch in office managers throughout Aberdeen city and visits places which are cleaned by other cleaning companies is now no longer amazed at the lack of knowledge of office staff about the need for regular thorough cleaning.
I remember hearing from a typist who was complaining that the office cleaners had left the waste paper bin on a chair and how inconvenient that had been for her having to put it on the floor beside the desk. The cleaner had probably lifted the office bin to empty it and ensure the area was vacuumed (believe me I have seen office cleaners who would have vacuumed around it rather than move it for cleaning).
On asking what the cleaners had been instructed to do about cleaning the office desk I was often told not to disturb any papers so staff had everything to hand. I asked her to move a few papers back and spread out some clean paper in front of her. I then lifted the keyboard and tipped it upside over the clean paper and gave it a few gentle smacks to loosen the dirt and crumbs that were lying inside it. We then spoke about cleaning standards and setting priorities in the cleaning schedule before drawing up a new cleaning contract ensuring that the welfare and safety of staff using computers and telephones was also given full attention.
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.
