When your employees arrive at the office each morning, they’re most concerned with the day’s tasks and the week’s goals — the personal hurdles that lie before them. This leaves little room for worry over the cleanliness of their workspace, which can hide germs and bacteria. If you’re hoping to eliminate hazards in the office and create a healthier, safer environment for your employees, here are the oft-overlooked areas that could benefit from deep, professional commercial cleaning.

What Lesser-Known Areas in Your Office Need Cleaning?

1. Upholstered Furniture

While you probably ensure the floors and countertops throughout your office are swept and disinfected, fabrics are easily overlooked in a corporate environment. From the waiting room couches to chairs in individual cubicles, your office is filled with upholstery that can absorb dust, dirt, and dead skin. A commercial cleaning crew will use their professional tools to remove allergens and other particles lurking in the fibers.

2. Ventilation

Throughout the year, your office depends on heating and cooling equipment to create a space conducive to efficient work. But as air filters through these vents and ducts, it carries dust and allergens along with it. Over time, these solid particles will get stuck on fan blades, vents, and ductwork, filtering back into your employee’s breathing supply. Regularly wiping down this equipment will help everyone breather easier.

3. Computers & Phones

Almost every modern office equips their employees with these two tech essentials. In fact, everyone on your team probably works in front of a computer and phone each day. As they touch their keyboard, pick up their receiver, and place the phone against their ear, it’s easy to transfer germs from the morning commute to these fixtures. To prevent the spread of bacteria and the need for more sick days, wipe down and disinfect these components at least once a week.
