Germs travel by touch
Flu and colds spread when hands touch contaminated surfaces, then faces. In an office, those surfaces are everywhere. Door handles. Light switches. Elevator buttons. The break room fridge handle. The coffee pot. Shared keyboards.
Regular disinfection of these touch points breaks the chain. It does not make the office sterile — but it cuts the germ load way down.
What to step up in flu season
Touch-point disinfection. Increase from daily to twice daily in busy offices. Dwell time matters — the disinfectant must stay wet to work.
Restrooms. Already the most disinfected area. Keep the schedule tight through the season.
Break rooms. Shared food areas are germ hotspots. Counters, handles, and tables need frequent wiping.
What cleaning cannot do
Cleaning handles surfaces. It does not handle air or sick people coming to work. Pair good cleaning with hand sanitizer stations, a real sick-day policy, and tissues in common areas. The combination is what works.
