Most of us are continually cleaning out our cars, homes, garages, closets – you name it. But, what we always aren’t on top of 100% of the time is cleaning and organizing our work stations. We come in at the beginning of the day, get right to work, and clock out when the day is through. Day after day we sit at our desk, sometimes have visitors stop by, and even eat at our desk. What we don’t realize or rarely think about is the amount of germs that can accumulate from us and our neighbors if we neglect our routine work space cleaning.
But, don’t fret! Here are some quick tips for keeping your workspace clean and germ-free:
-
Sanitize Your Desktop
- It’s a good idea to wipe down the surface of your desk with sanitizing and/or disinfecting wipes at least once per week to get rid of germs and bacteria that call your desktop home.
-
Avoid Eating at Your Desk
- Many of us eat at our desk or workspace in order to get more things done and “improve” our time management. What we don’t realize is that crumbs and food residue accumulate and can house germs. So relax and enjoy your lunch in your break room.
-
Tidy Up at the End of the Day
- If you do eat at your desk, don’t forget to tidy up after yourself at the end of the day. Throw away old food and candy wrappers and wash out those coffee mugs to avoid germy infestations!
-
Clean and Sanitize Things You Touch Regularly
- We are constantly touching our keyboard, mouse, and telephone while at work. It’s a good idea to sanitize these surfaces at least twice a week. Don’t forget your stapler!
