How Clean Is Your Office?
It is time for your meal break where would you normally choose to eat? Is your preference to eat at your office desk or eat your meal sat on the toilet?
I suspect that almost all of you would decide to choose your office desk. From a bacterial cleanliness point of view it would be safer to eat on the toilet seat. Yes, I did actually just write that! Arizona University researchers collected swabs from around one hundred offices right across the US and on analysis found there was over 400 times as much bacteria on the office desk as on the average toilet seat. Does your Aberdeen office cleaner clean the office desk properly?
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. Your mouse is a little cleaner with only around 1700 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.
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. My response was to ask her to tip her keyboard upside down over some clean paper and give it a thump with her hand. She was amazed at the amount of crumbs and dirt which came out of it. 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.
