When you take a lunch break where would you choose to eat?At your office desk or sitting on the toilet?
The office desk is what most of you are probably thinking right now. But read on! 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? 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?
Almost certainly you will be sitting in front of your computer with a keyboard. That keyboard will probably have around three thousand microbes looking to get onto your hands right now.Your mouse is a little cleaner with only around 1700 But the telephone – that thing that keeps ringing whenever you are trying to do your work – has 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.
On one of those visits an office manager was telling me how she regularly has to complain to the office cleaners about the odd paper clip that has been left for days on the floor. Why she did not pick it up herself the first day I still don’t know.
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. After speaking about some other cleaning priorities and the stats I quoted above we signed a cleaning contract to provide that office with a regular cleaning contract which included the desk-tops and computer equipment using our own specialist cleaning staff.
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.
