Your first thought might be in the restroom, but that isn’t the case. The office break room is the place with most illness-causing bacteria! Yikes!
A team of microbiologists at the University of Arizona swabbed common areas in hundreds of offices around the country to find out the truth about where most germs like to hide. They are hidden no longer! Our Avalanche Cleaning Crew zooms in to clean and sanitize these areas.
So, what areas are the biggest offenders:
- Break room sink faucet handles
- Microwave door handles
- Refrigerator door handles
- Water fountain buttons
As the professionals, these results reinforce our crucial role of disinfecting those common areas at the end of the work day. We are proud of the role we play as the first-line of defense. We spray these areas with eco-friendly cleaning agents that eliminates these germs on the spot.
We pay special attention to sanitize these areas, but as the new work day begins these areas begin to collect germs once again. Studies show that a virus can stay active on a surface from 2 to 8 hours once it is deposited. Eeehhhh! What is our advice to those of you in the office…… wash your hands often! And, if you aren’t able to get to a sink for warm water and soapy bubbles, use a hand sanitizer instead.
We hope to engage employees in maintaing a healthy work office to reduce the spread of germs. And, keep everyone feeling good across Boulder County!
The Avalanche Cleaning Crew wishes all of you a happy and healthy New Year!
