A typical office keyboard can hold up to 7,500 bacteria at any given time.
Viruses such as the flu can stay on unclean surfaces such as desktops or electronic devices for 24 hours.
60% of work-related absences from illnesses come from dirty office equipment such as e-coli, staphylococcus and bacteria.
Approximately 65% of office workers share phones and computers with each other, with 25,127 germs found in just one phone, so employers need to take cleanliness seriously.
How clean offices can help productivity in the workplace
Increased focus: In a clean work environment, you are less likely to be distracted by messy objects and this higher level of concentration leads to a better and better job.
Less time lost: You can waste a lot of time looking for documents in a cluttered workspace. In cleaner, well-organized offices, documents can be traced / found easily and quickly.
Less stress: A regular desk can result in you trying to focus on many things at once, which lowers your stress threshold.
Bigger benefit: Instead of wasting time looking for docs, employees in a clean office do more work, which helps with profitability in the long run.
