Computer Cleaning Month




September is officially Computer Cleaning Month. Durable have been running the campaign for the last 6 years, for one week at a time, but this year, they've decided to make it a month long! The point of the campaign is to raise awareness of the importance of keeping your office/work environment clean.

We've had a look at Durable's fantastic website, and found some key facts, which are very interesting, and pretty scary!

60% off all illnesses start in the workplace

80% of infections are transmitted through a working environment

90% of office workers eat at their desks

22% of people don't wash their hands before preparing food at work

65% of us share computers and telephones at work

72% of people pick their nose at work (that could be the person you share your computer keyboard with!)

75% of us have dirty computer screens, covered in dust, food, sneezes and coughs

60% of us have had a cold in the last 6 months

and finally- Keyboards are the dirtiest of all office equipment! Full of food, skin particles, hair, dust, little insects and lots more!

At Octopus, we sell everything you need to get your work station nice and clean, so you don't have to worry about all these nasty germs, Have a look at our range here:
