Book in a deep clean – help keep your workforce healthy this winter

The pandemic may have made you even more aware of the need to keep your office and workplace safe, but is your desktop IT really clean enough?

Harmful bacteria continue to thrive in the very equipment used daily by employees. Tests show that more germs are found on the average keyboard than a toilet seat and women’s desks typically harbour more bacteria than men’s. Hand cream, make-up and hair products can leave a residue on surfaces that provides an ideal breeding ground for illness-inducing bacteria. They can survive for weeks at a time, potentially infecting anyone who touches the equipment.

According to the office for National Statistics, in 2021 almost 150 million working days were lost in the UK because of sickness or injury, with COVID-19 accounting for nearly 1 in 4 of all occurrences of sick absence during that period. Much of the time, these illnesses are spread via hand contact with contaminated surfaces. Encouraging good day-to-day hygiene procedures helps, but they should go hand-in-hand with expert technology cleaning.  Microorganisms responsible for illnesses such as norovirus can survive for months if left untreated.

At Techclean, we provide a periodic deep cleaning service. Using specially designed brushes and antibacterial, antiviral and anti-static cleaning products we fully sanitise office IT equipment such as PCs, laptops, monitors, keyboard, mice, phones and printers to leave your kit not only looking like new but also extend product life and ensure optimum performance.

So, if you want to boost office performance, now’s the time to get the professionals in for a deep clean.
