Is Your Desk Making you Sick?

Here are some tips to keep your desk clean and sanitized.

 

You wouldn’t dream of eating at a dirty lunch counter. Yet when was the last time you cleaned your desk, where nearly half of all office workers eat their lunch every day? Protect yourself from your desk, a filth factory with 400 times more germs than a toilet seat!

  • Clean your desk surfaces each day before lunch with a disinfectant wipe. Don’t forget to wipe down your phone, keyboard and mouse.
  • Never put food directly on the desktop. Use a clean napkin, plate or placemat.
