PCR Tech and IT retail, distribution and vendor news
Cleaning chemical specialist AF International recently surveyed 1,000 business people who regularly use IT equipment to find out who cleans regularly.
The survey found only 45.8 per cent of people have their workplace cleaned on a daily basis, 15 per cent didn’t know if their office was ever cleaned, while 47 per cent admitted to eating at their desk every day.
When it came to taking office equipment home and back again – and presumably transferring at least a few germs on the way – 28.3 per cent were found to take work laptops home, and interestingly 26.4 per cent took personal laptops into the workplace.
