Cleaning your office isn’t the most exciting task on your to-do list. But keeping things spotless (especially when it comes to high-touch areas) is still very important.
Not only does it keep your workplace looking fresh, but it also helps reduce germs and makes everyone feel more comfortable.
The (perhaps unpleasant) truth is that some areas of your office get touched so often that they just need extra attention. Here are ten such places:
1. Doorknobs & Handles
If you think about it, doorknobs are probably touched by everyone who enters and exits the office. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a door to a meeting room or the bathroom, these little handles are all germ magnets. You don’t need anything fancy here, just a good disinfecting wipe or spray.
2. Light Switches
It’s crazy how often light switches get overlooked in cleaning routines. But think about how many times a day people flick those switches on and off. Yep, they’re dirty. A quick swipe with a microfiber cloth and some Dāvō Glass Cleaner will keep them sparkling clean.
3. Keyboards and Mice
Raise your hand if you’ve ever snacked at your desk while typing away on your keyboard. Guilty as charged? Keyboards and mice are some of the germiest spots in any office, and mainly because they’re touched all day long. To keep these tech tools clean, grab some Dav Degreaser. It’s perfect for cutting through oils and dirt that build up on keyboards.
4. Phone and Headset
When was the last time you wiped down your phone or headset? Phones are in our hands all day, and headsets are pressed against our faces. It’s no surprise that they collect germs, and especially if you're swapping them between colleagues.
5. Break Room Fridge & Microwave
Okay, let’s talk about the break room. Specifically, the fridge and microwave. The handles on these appliances get touched by everyone, and yet despite that they often slip through the cracks in cleaning routines. To make life easier, you can tackle this with the Dāvō Introductory Cleaning Kit.
6. Desks & Workstations
Your desk is probably your most used surface in the office, so it’s no surprise it needs constant attention. You might think a quick dusting is enough, but think again because crumbs, spills, and general grime tend to build up!
7. Bathroom Fixtures
Bathrooms are, without a doubt, one of the dirtiest areas in any office. From the toilet handles to sink faucets, these fixtures are touched by pretty much everyone. To handle the tough cleaning jobs in the bathroom, the Dāvō Nab It Bathroom & Bowl Cleaner should be your go-to.
8. Conference Room Table
The conference room table is another high-touch area that gets a lot of action, and as a result it often becomes a magnet for crumbs, coffee rings, and spilled pens.
9. Door Frames
It’s easy to forget about door frames, but they’re touched constantly, and especially on the sides. Dust, fingerprints, and grime can all quickly accumulate here.
10. Vending Machine Buttons
We all love a good snack break, and that vending machine is a lifeline. But those buttons? They get pushed a lot. Think about it; every time someone grabs a snack, they’re touching those buttons, and a lot of times with dirty hands.
There are no shortage of high-touch areas in your office that require regular cleaning, But with the right products, you can stay ahead of the game (and the grime!). The Advanced Essentials Kit, for example, is packed with everything you need for daily cleaning from microcloths to microfiber pads to cleaning solutions like Dāvō Glass Cleaner and Bathroom Cleaner.
