90% of all people spend most of their time in an office whether you are employed or it’s a business or a house office we all need to make money. Cleanliness is therefore very important in the place where we basically spend our lives for both our physical and mental health.

Disinfecting Frequency.

This depends on what you do in that particular work place. For example a hospital should have all the above items disinfected daily and that include fabrics. All other kinds of office space should be cleaned with water and detergent daily but maybe disinfect once a week. You can also provide the employees with disinfecting wipes and place others in the kitchen area and conference room because shaking hands also spread bacteria. A disinfecting spray should be available in the office and used when necessary.

Disinfecting Procedures:

1. Have everyone get involved in the cleanliness and getting rid of clutter and washing their hands regularly. Have a written cleanliness guideline so people know their responsibilities like putting trash in litter bags or baskets.

2. Clear out all the old stuff that you don’t use in the office anymore. This includes old papers and files, old computers and furniture.

3. Have a cleaning company in place. A company knows the places to clean like windows, doors and how to disinfect delicate equipments.

4. Have a professional janitorial service to clean your rest rooms because people bring those germs from the toilet to the office.

5. Phones, keyboards and door knobs are used by everybody in the office. These three can be disinfected with wipes daily or spray.
