Hygiene is more important now than ever – as we all start to return to normal, many people are understandably nervous about catching illnesses, so when it comes to heading back into the office it is important that it is a place where staff can feel safe.

Having a professional cleaner like this contract cleaning Cheltenham based company Big Green Cleaning is a good way to keep on top of office cleanliness, but there are some parts of the office that are more likely to harbour germs than others and should be kept on top of more regularly. These are the places in your office that should be cleaned often…

If you have a lift in your office, then pay attention to the buttons. These are touched regularly by many hands, so it is important to give them a good clean regularly.

Door handles are another thing that are touched a lot, so therefore are another germ hotspot. As well as cleaning doorhandles regularly leave hand sanitiser by them so that people can clean their hands before opening and closing the door.

The photocopier is a regularly used machine in most offices and is a place that can also be a magnet to germs and bacteria. This is another place to leave hand sanitiser available.

Keyboards are well known to be one of the most germy things in the office. They can be difficult to clean, but you can purchase keyboard cleaning tools which will help, and also not eating at the desk will stop food getting stuck in the keys.
