Is Your Office Really as Clean as It Should Be?

 



Ever had that one co-worker who comes to work sick and ends up sharing their germs with the entire office? It happens more often than you'd think. But what about your desk—do you know if it’s being cleaned properly? Or are you feeling a bit uneasy right now, imagining invisible germs lurking on your keyboard?

Germs and allergens are everywhere. While we can't eliminate them entirely, we can take proactive steps to create a healthier office environment. The first line of defense? A quality cleaning company with a strong sanitizing and disinfecting plan.

Consider these statistics from the National Institutes of Health:

  • The average person spends 87% of their time indoors.
  • 98% of office workers will contract a contagious illness at some point, often due to poor cleaning and sanitation practices.
  • The typical office desk hosts over 10 million bacteria—yikes!
  • Bacteria levels on surfaces increase by up to 31% per day when not cleaned regularly.
  • A clean office can reduce sick days by 12.5%.
  • Health-related losses cost U.S. businesses $260 million annually.
  • A clean workplace boosts concentration, lowers stress, improves motivation, and helps retain employees.

At Clean Line Janitorial Services, we believe cleanliness is more than just wiping down surfaces. Our comprehensive approach includes:

  • HVAC Recommendations: We suggest changing filters regularly to minimize dust and allergen buildup, like pollen.
  • Door and Window Seals: We advise on proper sealing to reduce the entry of pollutants and airborne allergens.
  • Staying Updated: We monitor emerging pathogens and consult with sources like flu.gov, the CDC, and local and state health authorities. This proactive approach was key when COVID emerged.
  • Supply Chain Coordination: We work closely with suppliers to track high-demand disinfectants and avoid delays or shortages.
  • Expert Training: Our management is trained in advanced disinfecting protocols for emerging pathogens, including coronaviruses, to help safeguard your facility.

Keeping your office sanitized—or better yet, disinfected—doesn’t have to be complicated. While we can’t prevent sick co-workers from showing up, we have the team, expertise, and resources to make your workplace as safe as possible. With Clean Line Janitorial Services, you’ll get the peace of mind you deserve, knowing your office is a step closer to being protected against illness.

Are Your Cleaner's Chemicals Making You Sick?

Image
  Whether accepted or not, you'll spend seemingly endless hours inside your office going over that next TPS Report or using your glazed-over eyes to look for trends in that spreadsheet your co-worker sent you. You're sitting at your desk for long periods of time and physically touching it for much of that time. What's lurking under the surface level of the desk?  In the last post, we talked about germs , but what chemicals did your cleaner leave behind to kill those germs? There was one time we cleaned at a private school and the school called us in to discuss the cleaning products we used on site. It was nearly the start of the school year and their facilities manager and business manager disclosed they have a new student on campus who is allergic to everything. It was so much so that any residual cleaning product left on a desk or lunchroom table could not only make the student sick but send him to the hospital. Together we came up with a sanitizing plan and a water-rinse...
