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!
