Ways to Improve Clean Office Habits to Avoid Sickness

Hi all. Found an excellent article that I am sure many will relate to. Hope you get something useful out of this...

De-clutter Your Desk

You simply can’t have a clean workspace unless your desk is clutter free. Keep your paperwork filed, binders stored and trash in the bin. Once the desk is clear, you can wipe down the desk with a solvent designed to kill germs. Keep in mind that most cleaning crews are directed to clean common areas only. Your desk is your responsibility.

Use Sanitisers

Keep sanitiser wipes in the conference rooms and common areas. A quick swipe of a disposable sanitized cloth can make the difference between staying healthy and going home with a cold. Pens, markers, three-hole punches and photocopiers will frequently go uncleaned for months or years. And add some hand sanitiser to the mail room and conference room for any last minute hand-cleaning needs.

Having a clean office means taking some personal responsibility. It only takes one sick person to spread germs through the office on any given weekday, and the cleaning crew at night isn’t likely to wipe off the stapler or pen that will give you a cold the next day. Taking a few precautionary steps can make for a healthy, clean office.
