While janitorial services are standard practice for offices in order to keep their workspace clear of clutter and looking nice, it’s very easy to overlook many of the small details that become hotspots for bacteria and germs. To help you make sure you’re keeping yourself and your employees safe during COVID-19, here are the most important surfaces in your office to disinfect.
Phones
The phones in your office are handled by many people throughout the day, and even worse, phones go right up against someone’s face. This practically gives germs a free pass into your mouth and on your face the longer you’re on your phone. Unplug your phone and wipe it down with a cleaning solution and a cloth. Afterward, give it one more wipe down with disinfectant wipes.
Doorknobs
Touched even more than phones are doorknobs and handles. These are even worse because you forget about the doorknob the moment you pass through the door, leaving them entirely neglected and one of the most important surfaces in your officer to disinfect. This is perhaps the most common spot bacteria and germs are transferred from person to person. Keep these knobs cleaned with antibacterial spray routinely throughout the day.
Keyboards and Mice
Similar to phones, keyboards and mice are touched and used a lot, but are rarely given the attention they need for proper sanitation because they’re hooked up to computers. Using compressed air, spray between the keys on the keyboard to clear out dust and debris. Next, use cotton swabs sprayed with a cleaning solution to clean each individual key. Lastly, you can use a cloth and the solution to wipe the rest of the keyboard.
Copiers
Copiers can be cleaned using electronic or anti-static sprays and wipes. Make sure you’re thorough and get into it’s nooks and crannies to clear out any debris and dust clogging up the machinery. A feather duster may be helpful here for hard-to-reach spots.
