Computer cleaning. You decide where it is safest to eat.
Where do you choose to eat! That’s a question which may surprise you when you know the answer. Now bear in mind we are a computer cleaning team before you answer the next question. (that is a big hint!)
Where would you choose to eat your working lunch if you only had the option of sitting on the office toilet seat or at your office desk?
A couple of years ago University of Arizona carried out scientific tests to answer that question in a range of different types of offices right across America (and I can’t see the answer being very much different here in North Lanarkshire).
The result showed that your office desk has about 40 times more bacteria than your office toilet seat.
Surprised? I wasn’t when I first saw it. After years of cleaning office desks and the coffee cup rings and biscuit crumbs left overnight I was surprised it was only forty times as much bacteria growing on your desk.
Try a quick experiment now while you are sat at your computer screen.
- Take a couple of sheets of clean paper from your printer and spread them out on a clear space of your desk.
- Now turn your keyboard upside down over the sheets and gently thump the bottom a couple of times.
If you are surprised at the amount of dirt, dead skin etc now on the paper it really is time you spoke with Coatbridge Office Cleaners about regular computer cleaning and disinfecting. After all your fingers are hitting those keys so often during the day and it was shown to the second largest source of bacteria on your typical office desk you are potentially passing bacteria back and forward all day long.
What was the most infected part of your desk? Wait and see the next item of computer cleaning news.
