Hey Eugene, Oregon! You, yeah you! Does the title of this post unsettle you? It should. Here is just one example of how your office desktop is full of germs. Can you remember the last time you cleaned your phone? No? Then finish reading this and clean everyone phone you use. Do you share a phone with others in the office? Then stop reading this and go sanitize that phone from top to bottom. Research shows that phones are a literal vector for bacteria transmission. A study from researchers at the University of Arizona found that there are more than 25,127 germs per square inch on the average office phone receiver. Now, stop for a moment, maybe even pick up a phone and think about how and what you do when you’re on the phone. What parts of your body are you hands touching? Your nose? Eyes? How often do you switch the phone from one hand to the other? Research shows that people tend to do habitual, repetitive motions while talking on the phone. Here is what researcher Duberg advises after you have used your phone, “don’t touch your T-zone—eyes, nose and mouth.” If you share a phone, research suggests that a small investment in a headset that only you can use when you’re talking on the phone will make a big difference. That said, shared office equipment in Eugene Office Buildings of all kinds needs to be cleaned regularly and chances are, your office is full of things that are rarely, if ever cleaned. Let Trinity Cleaning give you a free estimate and see how cost effective it really is to have professionals keep your office space clean and healthy!
