It’s just about that time of year again! Cold and flu symptoms are already starting to make their rounds. If you are one of the unlucky ones this year to suffer from the flu, you’ll wish you had taken some precautionary measures. One way to help prevent the flu from taking over your office is to have a reliable company perform regular office cleanings. Many germs can be transferred at work. You can help your employees stay healthy and working at maximum efficiency by having the office cleaned regularly.

Stay Home

The best advice for preventing the transfer of cold and flu symptoms is to stay home if you’re sick. According to a study done by Staples Advantage, nearly 80 percent of office workers said they would come to work even though they knew they were sick. This is especially alarming in large office buildings where there are many workers. If you are contagious, stay away from the office and coworkers.

Keep your Workspace Clean

The same study found 51 percent of workers admit to only cleaning their work area once a week or less. Your personal workspace can be one of the dirtiest areas in the whole office building. Germs can live for up to three days, especially on a keyboard. Frequently washing your hands and cleaning your workspace can do wonders to reduce your risk of infection.

Common Autumn Allergy

According to WebMD, only 10-30% of Americans suffer from fall allergies. The most commonly found fall allergen is ragweed, which results in hay fever or allergic rhinitis. Some symptoms that plague those with allergies are runny nose, watering eyes, coughing, sneezing and more. These are unpleasant and hard to get rid of without medication. But, there are some steps you can take to lessen your symptoms.

Wash Up Frequently

It may seem obvious, but washing up frequently can cut down on your allergy symptoms. A well-stocked office should provide anti-bacterial soap and tissues for your convince. If you are out and about for your job or meet with a lot of people throughout the day, you may need to wash more frequently than others.

Remove the Presence of Allergens

The number one way to combat fall allergies, is to remove the presence of whatever spurs your symptoms. This means you’ll need a ragweed-free working environment. If you work in a busy office building, with a lot of foot traffic, you may be exposed to particles all throughout the day. Just because you’re inside, doesn’t mean you’re free from irritants. People can carry these small particles in on their clothing, bags and in their hair. A cleaned professionally office dramatically cuts down on the number of lingering particles.
