Keeping an office clean involves more than vacuuming floors and emptying trash bins. Throughout the workday, employees touch dozens of shared surfaces that can quickly accumulate bacteria, viruses, and other harmful germs. Without regular sanitization, these high-touch areas can contribute to the spread of illness, especially during cold and flu season.
Implementing a daily sanitization routine helps create a healthier workplace, reduces employee sick days, and leaves a positive impression on clients and visitors. Here are the most important high-touch surfaces every office should sanitize daily.
Door handles are among the most frequently touched surfaces in any office. Daily sanitization should include:

Reception areas welcome employees, customers, and visitors throughout the day. High-touch surfaces include:

Office equipment used by multiple employees should be disinfected daily. This includes:
