It is commonly known that the office phone is a breeding ground for deadly diseases. Not only is it sitting in the main hotspot for bacteria, it has hands continuously touching it and mouths regularly speaking into it, that makes it riddled with germs. Those in the financial sector know the phone is a key part of the day, from the CEO to the junior- all can be infected by their phone. The amount of use means you need to ensure your cleaner, as well as yourself, is educated on the best practices to keep your phone truly clean.
Ensure the cleaning of phones, keyboards, mouses and any other commonly touched areas are being deeply and properly cleaned by the appropriate cleaning staff. Ensure they are educated and trained in best practices for office cleaning as every surface will have its own requirements in how best to clean them. For example, a different product will be used for the phone compared to the kitchen sink- it is professionals who will know how to safely clean a piece of equipment. By having untrained individuals clean your office you face the risk of mistakes resulting in broken equipment, unclean objects and high-risk contaminations to staff- all directly affect how a business runs, therefore it is important to properly consider WHO is cleaning your office.
Now that the phone is being regularly deep cleaned, it is now your responsibility to maintain a level of cleanliness until the object is cleaned again. It only takes one sneeze, cough or set of unclean hands to infect your system, do not let a germ exploit this opportunity and make you ill. We recommend to daily clean the phone with an antibacterial wipe, making sure to give it an extra wipe if you have noticed you have sneezed or coughed. Additionally, always properly clean your hands as they are often the main cause of the spread of germs.
