High-touch surfaces in the office – How frequently should they be disinfected?

Going back to the office in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic and be scary. Unfortunately the work place is at high risk of spreading Covid-19 due to many factors such as inability to properly social distance, air circulation, high-touch surfaces and many more that could contribute to spreading the virus. As a business owner or employee you can help make the process of returning to work less scary for yourself and your coworkers by ensuring your office is properly disinfected. How do you do that? Let’s get into high-touch surfaces in the office and how frequently they should be disinfected.

The CDC has confirmed that the Corona virus can survive on surfaces for days, depending on the type of surface, which means that it is possible to get COVID-19 from touching a surface. This means that your workplace should have specific cleaning procedures in place for cleaning high-touch surfaces. These cleaning procedures should include trained and equipped cleaning staff cleaning these surfaces multiple times a day. The idea behind these cleaning procedures is preventative since it would reduce the likelihood of potential transfer.

High-touch surfaces in the office:

• Phones
• Remote Controls
• Light Switches
• Computers (Keyboards/ Mouse)
• Conference Tables
• Countertops
• Breakroom Tables
• Water Fountain
• Coffee Machine
• Sinks
• Faucets
• Door Knobs/ Handles
• Stair Railings
• Elevator Buttons
• Or any place people often touch

These aforementioned areas should be disinfected by trained cleaning staff with the appropriate cleaning supplies, multiple times a day.
