Although we may like to think that our coworkers are hygienic around the office, that is not usually the case. Fair warning, these unhygienic office habits are gross, but it will help you ensure you’re taking proper cleaning measures.

Forgetting to flush:

Flush the toilet after you’re done using it. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, you’d be surprised at the number of people who forget to flush after using the bathroom. Doing so can cause bacteria to build on your toilet bowl. As a result, we suggest cleaning the toilet bowls in your office around three times a week.

Bad aim:

We mean exactly what you’re thinking. Some people just have a bad aim which leaves toilet seats infected and dirty. Therefore, make sure you’re disinfecting the toilet seats multiple times per week.

Leaving food in the fridge:

Is there a container filled with old egg salad and a half-eaten burger inside your fridge that has sat there for a few months? Coworkers can forget about the food inside the work fridge, which can cause it to grow mold and build bacteria. If you’ve had the same food in your fridge for the past few months, it’s time for a deep fridge cleaning.

Eating at a desk:

Although it’s great that some of your coworkers like to multi-task by eating and working at the same time, we strongly suggest encouraging them to eat in a break room instead. This helps keep all those crumbs that will inevitably make a mess from eating in one place in your office.

Going in to work sick:

Some people will go into work sick without alerting those they work with. To combat the spread of germs around your office and reduce the number of absences due to sickness, disinfect high traffic areas as often as possible.
