Most businesses have a cleaning routine in place, but are you targeting the areas where germs are most likely to spread?
While floors, restrooms, and countertops receive regular attention, many of the most frequently touched surfaces in a facility are often overlooked. These hidden germ zones can harbor bacteria and viruses throughout the day, contributing to employee illness, increased absenteeism, and an unhealthy work environment.
The good news? With the right cleaning program and products, these problem areas can be effectively addressed.
Shared Technology Surfaces
Think about how many people touch a keyboard, copier screen, or conference room phone throughout the day. These surfaces are used constantly but aren't always included in daily cleaning routines.
Common technology hotspots include:
- Computer keyboards and mice
- Desk phones
- Touchscreen displays
- Printers and copiers
- Conference room equipment
For these high-touch areas, products like Spartan Clean by Peroxy provide effective cleaning and disinfecting without leaving behind harsh residues. Its hydrogen peroxide-based formula makes it ideal for frequently touched surfaces throughout the workplace.
Breakroom Germ Hotspots
The breakroom is one of the busiest spaces in any facility. Employees gather for coffee, lunch, and breaks throughout the day, creating countless opportunities for germs to spread.
Pay special attention to:
- Refrigerator handles
- Microwave buttons
- Coffee makers
- Water dispensers
- Cabinet pulls
- Shared tables and countertops
Using Spartan Chemical CDC-10 can help keep these surfaces clean while effectively killing a broad spectrum of germs. Regular disinfection of breakroom touchpoints helps create a healthier environment for everyone.
Doors, Light Switches, and Handrails
These surfaces may seem insignificant, but they are touched hundreds of times each day by employees, customers, and visitors.
High-touch areas often include:
- Door handles
- Push plates
- Light switches
- Handrails
- Elevator buttons
Products like Spartan NABC Hard Surface Disinfecting Wipes make it easy to incorporate routine disinfection into daily cleaning procedures, helping reduce the transfer of germs between individuals.
Conference Rooms and Shared Workspaces
Meeting rooms often serve multiple teams throughout the day. Tables, chair arms, remotes, presentation equipment, and shared office supplies can quickly become breeding grounds for bacteria if not cleaned regularly.
Restrooms: The Obvious Germ Zone
Restrooms may receive the most attention when it comes to cleaning, but they still require the right products to effectively eliminate germs and odors.
For restroom maintenance, Spartan offers solutions like Consume® Eco-Lyzer for odor control and drain maintenance, along with a variety of disinfectants designed to help maintain a cleaner and more sanitary environment.
Consistent cleaning paired with professional-grade products helps ensure restrooms remain one of the cleanest areas in your facility rather than one of the dirtiest.
Why Product Choice Matters
Simply wiping down a surface doesn't necessarily eliminate germs. Effective cleaning requires using products that are designed to clean, disinfect, and sanitize according to label directions.
Spartan Chemical's professional cleaning solutions are trusted by schools, healthcare facilities, offices, industrial facilities, and businesses across the country because they are designed to tackle real-world cleaning challenges while supporting healthier environments.
Create a Healthier Workplace
Reducing germs starts with identifying hidden hotspots and implementing a cleaning program that targets them consistently.
