Today’s desks are not only our workstations, they are often our lunch tables, our footrests, our storage spaces and more. Active hygiene helps keep your desk and office cleaner and healthier. Unclean surfaces in the office can harbour unhealthy bacteria. For example, were you aware of the following facts?

• The average keyboard contains 60 x more bacteria than the office toilet seat
• In the average office there are 10 million bacteria on the area of the desk where you rest your hand
• Cold and flu viruses can remain active on a surface for up to 72 hours
