Kill The Germy Spots in Your Office

Your desk phone. The actual desk. That printer down the hall everyone uses. All harboring lots of germs. What do I mean by 'lots', you ask? About 400 times more germs than on a toilet seat!

Be Sure to Disinfect: Be sure you are using a disinfectant on all hard surface, 'high touch' areas. A disinfectant actually kills the bacteria that causes illness. Sanitizers only reduce the amount/growth of bacteria.
Using a disinfecting with a disposable wipe is best. The area needs to stay wet for at least 5-10 minutes for a complete kill (see chemical bottle for exact times). For areas not easily reached, try an aerosol disinfectant spray such as Spartan's Sparsan Q Disinfectant Deodorant.
Don't forget these 'high touch' areas-
  • Office equipment- copier/printer, postage meter, timeclock, fax
  • Watercooler
  • Coffeemaker
  • Vending machines
  • Refrigerator and microwave door handles 
  • Door handles
  • Your desk phone, keyboard and desktop
  • Elevator buttons

Wash Your Hands...Please: Something that cannot be stressed enough! You should lather your hands with soap (does not have to be antibacterial) and wash for at least 20 seconds!
