Top 5 Germ Hotspots in Every Office (And How We Tackle Them)

A tidy office doesn’t always mean a hygienic one. In fact, many common office surfaces are breeding grounds for bacteria—even when they look clean. At Denma Cleaning Services, we help businesses across Eastbourne, Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton, Kent, and the South Coast tackle hidden germs head-on with expert commercial cleaning solutions.

Let’s explore the top 5 germ hotspots in every office—and how our trained team ensures they’re properly disinfected to protect your team’s health and your business’s reputation.

1. Desks and Keyboards

It’s no surprise that desks, keyboards, and mice are among the dirtiest places in any office. Research shows they can harbour more bacteria than a toilet seat, especially when people eat at their desks or neglect regular cleaning.

At Denma, we offer daily and scheduled office cleaning across Eastbourne, Kent, and Brighton, with a strong focus on high-touch areas like computer equipment, telephones, and desktops. Our team uses safe, disinfectant-based solutions to reduce the spread of viruses like colds, flu, and norovirus.

2. Door Handles and Light Switches

These are touched by everyone, multiple times a day—making them prime zones for cross-contamination. From reception doors to meeting rooms and staff toilets, handles and switches often go uncleaned during quick office tidies.

Our commercial cleaning checklists in Portsmouth, Southampton, and Worthing always include frequent disinfecting of handles, buttons, and switches. We focus on consistency and attention to detail to keep your team safe.

3. Shared Kitchen Spaces

Office kitchens are high-risk for germs due to shared use and poor hygiene habits. Microwave buttons, fridge handles, cupboard doors, and kettle grips are rarely wiped down, yet frequently touched.

Denma Cleaning Services delivers deep kitchen cleans and daily maintenance across the South Coast—including Eastbourne, Chichester, and Bournemouth. We sanitise all kitchen touchpoints and offer janitorial supply refills to make hygiene convenient for your team.

4. Toilets and Washrooms

While most businesses know toilets need cleaning, many miss hidden areas such as tap handles, flush buttons, sanitary bins, and the undersides of dispensers.

Our team follows strict protocols for washroom disinfection in offices, clinics, and warehouses throughout Brighton, Kent, and Southampton. From floor to ceiling, we ensure every surface is thoroughly sanitised—helping you meet health and safety standards.

5. Meeting Rooms and Shared Equipment

Remote controls, touchscreen panels, whiteboard markers, and conference phones are handled by multiple people, yet rarely cleaned. These shared tools can spread bacteria quickly—especially during cold and flu season.

We clean communal workspaces and equipment in Eastbourne and nearby towns using approved virucidal disinfectants that are safe for electronics and shared tools. With regular cleans, we help reduce illness-related absences and improve workplace hygiene.
