When there’s hay fever and colds in the air during spring, bacteria can travel around your office space fast. Office spaces and buildings are notorious for bacteria, so finding easy and fast ways to prevent illnesses and the flu.
While having a good cleaning routine is key, if you don’t have time to keep up a routine, these handy life hacks are great for your company!
Check out these handy hygiene hacks to make your workplace a happier and healthier space:
- Set up a rota or timetable of when you plan to clean
This is a great way to stay on top of keeping your workspace clean and tidy when your commercial cleaners aren’t around. You can also take it in turns to make sure each person has a turn of keeping the office in great shape.
- Declutter and organise
A simple way to keep areas clear and easier to clean is to make sure all rubbish is in the bin and all work materials are in an orderly fashion. It is good to encourage staff to keep to a “clean desk” policy and to declutter regularly.
- Make sure there is always hand sanitiser available to use
Installing hand sanitiser stations or a bottle of sanitiser on each desk is a reliable and effective way to keep hands clean, especially after touching popular touch points such as handles, equipment, doors, etc. This prevents the spread of bacteria, therefore, preventing bacteria from entering your body.
- No eating at desks – use a designated eating area
Our final way to keep your office space clean and healthy is to avoid eating at your desks. Find a designated eating area to enjoy snacks, lunches, and so on, to prevent crumbs from getting trapped under keys on your keyboard, around your work area, and more which can create an unhealthy bacterium.
