It’s natural for workplaces to get dirty, we all know that. However, must of us are unaware of the degree to which an office can get filthy, almost to a point where even the bathroom at your home is cleaner (we will come to that in a second).
In this blog, we are going to uncover some shockingly dirty facts for everyone who keeps procrastinating their office cleaning work. Fair warning, if you are not a fan of cleaning and have no immediate plans about disinfecting your workplace, then this will really gross you out. For those of you who are regular cleaners, this will certainly motivate you to do more.
So, without further ado, here are 4 cleaning facts that will blow your mind.
1. An Office Desk is about 400 times Dirtier Than a Toilet Seat
Say what, now? Yeah, we have run through the headline over and over again, and rest assured, this is a proven fact. In fact, even we couldn’t believe our eyes when we read this. The thought of eating your meals in your toilet will make most of us feel puke-ish, but we’re ready to take quick bites sitting at our office desk.
Doesn’t this make you want to clean up your desk, like right now? Big thumbs up to those who do it on a regular basis. You guys are living in a far cleaner environment than those we haven’t even given a proper dusting to their office desk in years.
2.You Are Likely to Be Exposed to Over 10 Million Bacteria at Your Office, PER DAY!
Stop counting the zeros, the total number is seven. Yup, seven zeros after 1, most of us can’t even imagine that many bacteria together. These are everywhere, the chair you sit on, the desk you work on, the people you shake hands with, and even the air that you breathe. It’s quite a nightmare for the germophobes, isn’t it?
However, the good news is, you can actually bring this number down to substantially low by ensuring proper cleaning of your office on a regular basis by experts.
3. About 98% of the employees are affected by communicable diseases at their workplace
Even if you’re not a fan of cleaning your office space, this is still going to get you alarmed. The higher the number of employees working in your office, the more you are likely to catch a contagious disease from one of them. So, instead of praying to be among the remaining 2%, ensure thorough cleaning of your workplace.
4. Washroom Taps are Among The Biggest Germ Spreaders in Your Office
You may think you’re living a clean lifestyle if you wash your hands whenever you go to the toilet. After all, washing is a form of cleaning, isn’t it? Well, not in the case of washroom faucets. The water that you get in your hand is probably dirtier than your hand itself if it’s coming from an unclean tap.
