The riskiest places in the office

our van and vacuum cleaners

More than a quarter of the UK’s workers, work in a communal office space. So its clear that if these are not cleaned regularly, dirt, dust and germs are going to build up and cause problems for your employees. In fact, some places in the office can become incredible risky. Here at Cleaning North West, we are cleaning experts. As a result, we have produced this guide to the riskiest places in the office.

Computer Keyboards

Now it probably wont come as a shock that your computer keyboard tops this list. From catching all your crumbs, hair and dead skin cells, to constantly being touched, bacteria and germs can thrive inside and on the surface of your computer keyboard. And if you share a keyboard, or hot-desk, you are at even more of a risk! It’s no real surprise that a dirty keyboard can allow colds, flues and viruses to spread quickly through your office.

Door handles

Touched by practically everyone in the office, every day, door handles pose a huge risk to your health. And people who do not wash their hands properly will easily pick up any bacteria or micro-organisms lurking on the surface. Not to mention spread their own over the handle. That’s why, here at Cleaning North West, we are always sure to emphasise the cleaning of handles and doors.

Kitchen appliances

Similarly to door handles, kitchen appliances are used by almost everyone in the office. This means that you can easily pick up the germs that are lingering on these surfaces, and, if you do not thoroughly wash your hands, can catch the bugs easily. From the kettle to the fridge, these kitchen appliances are some of the riskiest places in the office.
