What Germs Are Really Lurking in the Office? (And How We Fight Them)

You might think your office looks clean — but what about the germs you can’t see? The truth is, workplaces are breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses. From door handles to keyboards, thousands of microbes live on the surfaces we touch every day.

At Denma Cleaning Services, we go beyond “looking clean” to tackle what’s really hiding in your workspace.

The Germiest Spots in an Office

You might be surprised to learn where the bacteria hotspots are:

• Keyboards & mice – Studies show they can carry more germs than a toilet seat.

• Phones – Handled constantly, rarely cleaned.

• Shared kitchen items – Microwaves, fridges, coffee pots — all harbour unseen bacteria.

• Door handles & light switches – High-touch areas spread germs faster than anything else.

Why It Matters for Businesses

Germs aren’t just gross — they’re costly. Workplace illness leads to lost productivity, increased sick leave, and sometimes even failed health inspections in industries like hospitality and healthcare.

An office that isn’t properly sanitised can quickly become a cycle of recurring illness for staff.

How Denma Tackles Hidden Germs

Our team uses professional-grade disinfectants and cleaning systems designed for commercial spaces. We pay special attention to high-touch areas and use techniques that don’t just “wipe down” but actively eliminate bacteria.

We also offer:

• Regular sanitisation schedules tailored to office traffic.

• Deep cleaning services to tackle germs that build up in hidden areas.

• Specialist cleaning for clinics and healthcare facilities, where hygiene is critical.

A Fresh Way to Think About Office Hygiene

Think about it — the surface you touched last at work probably has more bacteria than your household bin lid. Suddenly, a proper cleaning schedule doesn’t seem optional, does it?

Final Thoughts

Invisible germs can have very real consequences for businesses. A proactive approach to cleaning protects your team, reduces sick days, and ensures your workplace stays safe and professional.
