As you know from our other blog posts, we’ve recently surveyed 1000 business people who regularly use IT equipment to find out who cleans regularly, who eats at their desk as well as what equipment is used in the home environment.

With only 45.8% of people surveyed having their workplace cleaned on a daily basis, and an astounding 15% not knowing if their office was cleaned or had ever been cleaned, the results show some interesting facts about cleanliness within the office. And when you think that 47% admitted to eating at their desk every day, hygiene should be something high on the agenda.

We had a great position at this year’s Gadget Show Live at the Birmingham NEC.

We've recently polled 1000 office workers. This has revealed that a massive 67.6% of employees accept that they are likely to catch the germs and viruses that are being spread around the office. The large percentage came as a surprise to us cleaning specialists. We develop preventative cleaning measures for people who work with business technologies such as laptops, web-books, headsets, PCs and smartphones.
