Things in Your Office That Are Less Sanitary Than You Think
While the risks of working in an office building are minimal compared to more hands-on professions like electricians or construction workers, there is an unseen danger that lurks in unexpected places. These risks include bacterial and viral contamination from SARS-CoV-2 (the virus behind COVID-19), influenza, E. coli, and more. While you may think you run a tight ship, your office workspace can be considerably less sanitary than a public bathroom. Eliminating these risks may require more than your average cleaning solution. A UV light sanitizer for work environments is just what you need to eliminate up to 99.99% of such contaminants.
The goal of Violet Defense is to protect you and your employees and promote a clean and productive workplace. Here are just a few places in your office that require the cleansing power of ultraviolet light:
YOUR WORKSPACE
It may be unappealing to think about, but unless you are diligent in sanitizing your desk at work, your workspace may be less hygienic than a public restroom. According to one study, up to 10 million individual bacteria can exist on the surfaces of your desk at work. Per square inch, this is almost 400 times more bacteria than your average toilet seat. Some surfaces in your workspace are dirtier than others, but all require attention to protect yourself and others. Think about all of the surfaces you touch during the duration of a single workday and ask yourself how often you clean the following:
Your phone (your work phone or your cell phone)
Your mouse
Your keyboard
Your work monitors (the screens and the buttons)
Electronic devices such as fax machines, printers, and scanners
The handles of your desk drawers
The real secret to reducing the presence of harmful bacteria in your personal workspace is sterilization. And one of the best forms of modern sterilization is through ultraviolet radiation. Conventional cleaners and antibacterial wipes may do a decent job, but ultraviolet light can easily access hard-to-reach areas. Ultraviolet light eliminates bacteria and viruses without leaving any chemicals or bad smells behind.
Violet Defense products include automatic functionality, which gives you the ability to disinfect your workspace overnight. Paired with air purification products from Violet Defense, you can work without worrying about your physical well-being.
YOUR OFFICE’S BREAK ROOM
Some of the worst places to find germs in the office break room include:
Handles and buttons on appliances (microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, refrigerators, coffee makers)
On the surfaces of tables and chairs
On the handles of drawers, counters, and the sink
On the buttons of vending machines
On the knobs and handles of water coolers and dispensers
Just like a public food court or cafeteria, the cleanliness of your office break room can determine the health of your employees. The founders of Violet Defense want you and your employees to feel comfortable in your work environment; the last thing you want to worry about at work is getting sick. Our UV disinfection products can help you and your team focus on what matters most: staying productive and collaborative. Employees should feel safe and inspired, and our technology can help you achieve those cleanliness goals.
THE OFFICE RESTROOM
The bathroom is one of the most difficult places in the office to clean. Even if you rely on professional cleaning services, it can be difficult to feel comfortable in a public space. There are so many surfaces in an office bathroom for germs to hide:
On the handles of manual soap dispensers
On sink handles and faucets
On virtually all the surfaces of toilets and toilet paper dispensers
On railings and handrails in the stalls
On and around hand drying machines
On the handles and buttons of dispensers and appliances
To provide effective and targeted disinfection of restroom surfaces, Violet Defense’s Flash series of products includes modular disinfection systems designed for quick sanitization cycles. Our UV disinfection equipment can be used on demand or programmed for overnight use. No matter where surfaces harbor bacteria and viruses, UV light can eradicate up to 99% of the most common contaminants in public spaces.
UNIQUE OFFICE SPACES
Depending on your profession and location, some surfaces require extra attention for disinfection:
Waiting rooms in medical offices and spas
Laboratory spaces and supply closets
Dressing rooms and retail spaces
Locker rooms and workout areas
Schoolrooms and instructional areas at universities
Living areas for firefighters, police officers, and first responders
No matter your line of work, you and your peers deserve to work in cleanliness and comfort. Violet Defense can help you do exactly that. Our technology can be more effective than manual disinfection techniques alone.
