A clean office is essential not just because of appearance but also for the health of all who work there. Compass Cleaning Solutions emphasizes the importance of regular office cleaning and provides a long list of janitorial services. If it’s been awhile since your office received a thorough scrubbing, take a look at the potential health dangers that can result:

• Mold: Mold is a type of fungus capable of growing inside or outside no matter the time of year. It affects the look and scent of a building, particularly if the building features a lot of wood—a mold “favorite.” If excessive moisture accumulates in an office that has not been cleaned for some time, immediate and delayed mold-related allergic reactions may occur. Symptoms include red eyes, runny nose, localized skin infections, throat irritation, asthma attacks and more. Mold comes in many forms, all of which are detrimental to the health of an office.
• Dust: In addition to being unsightly, a large amount of dust in an office poses numerous health risks, as it can feature any number of contaminants. These include insect remains, pest animal excrement, fire retardants, pesticides, industrial detergents, pollen, construction debris—the list is seemingly endless. Respiratory issues, including trachea inflammation, is a resulting problem from inhalation, particularly when dust is inhaled continually over time. Allergic reactions such as runny nose, itchy eyes, asthma and coughing may occur as well.
• Bacteria: Bacteria, mold, yeast and other microorganisms accumulate in poorly maintained carpeting, all of which can quickly multiply. Besides shortening the life of the carpet, these organisms can also cause breathing difficulty, rashes, asthma and other health issues in office workers.
