Is your office desk clean?

For every human being,office desk is a place where they they spend more than one-third of their time they spend working. It is a second home to some. And for the workaholic beings,this gets even more serious,they try to spend most of the time trying to be close to their desk and rigorously performing their work.

you can't see me


In that case,it would be like waking-up-to-a-nightmare to find out that our toilet seat is much cleaner than an office desk. According to a research conducted by the University of Arizona,an average desk can have 400 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. Also objects such as keyboard,phones etc. which come in contact with several people,by the means of touch are favorable places for these microorganisms to reside.






Don't Panic
The research also found out that wiping regularly can keep a control on their levels. Hence objects which appear to be clean with naked eyes can actually contain a lot of bacteria. More about the reseach,click here or here



So nest time you enter your office,Do ask yourself "Is your office desk clean?".
