Bacteria and germs in the office are one of the most silent, but potent threats to the operation of your business.
Unfortunately, these unsavoury elements can wreak havoc on your staff, causing illness and absence in the workplace.
However, it’s relatively easy to combat these germs and bacteria, by scheduling a regular Sydney commercial office cleaning service.
At Sydney Sweep and Scrub, we have a wealth of knowledge in cleaning busy offices, ensuring a safe and functional workplace for your staff. And as a result of this cleaning, your business will be more likely to thrive.
Therefore, here are three more hotspots for germs and bacteria, to look out for.
Kitchen Benches
Your office kitchen will see a lot of activity each day, as your staff refuel with snacks, meals and hot drinks.
However, due to the fact that people can be a little slack cleaning up after themselves, the surfaces in your kitchen can quickly see a large buildup of bacteria.
Therefore, ensure your staff are educated on the risks of not cleaning up after themselves properly. Encourage them to wipe down surfaces and remove any crumbs or spills right away.
Moreover, for a proper clean, hire a professional Sydney commercial office cleaning company like Sydney Sweep and Scrub.
Stationary
The items that your staff use on a daily basis, such as pens, pencils, staplers and other stationary, can also harbour bacteria.
Therefore, ensure your staff wash their hands regularly, and wipe down these items with antibacterial wipes when possible.
That will stop the germs in their tracks, greatly reducing the chance of illness among your employees.
The Phone
The constant use of your desk phone, being in close proximity to your hands and mouth, means it can also carry plenty of germs.
This spread of bacteria can become more prevalent if multiple people are sharing a phone. Therefore, ensure your workers wipe down their phones regularly.
That will help to minimise any potential spread of germs, before they can make your employees ill.
