Office desks and high-touch workstation surfaces should be sanitized daily, with shared equipment like phones, keyboards and meeting-room tables wiped between users or at least once a day. Desks are among the germiest surfaces in an office because they're touched constantly, often eaten at, and rarely cleaned by the people using them — so a daily sanitising routine is the sensible baseline.
Why are desks such a germ hotspot?
A workstation absorbs everything its user does — typing, eating lunch, sneezing, handling a phone, touching a shared printer and back. Because people rarely clean their own desk thoroughly, that load accumulates on keyboards, mice, phones, desk surfaces and chair armrests. The keyboard and phone in particular are touched constantly and almost never wiped, which is why they carry a surprising amount of bacteria.
In a shared office, these surfaces also become transfer points — one person's germs spread via shared equipment and common touchpoints. That's the core case for routine sanitising: it interrupts that transfer before it spreads through the floor.
What's the right sanitising schedule?
Match frequency to how shared and how high-touch each surface is. Personal desks need a daily baseline; shared and high-touch items need more.
Daily: sanitise desk surfaces, keyboards, mice, phones and chair armrests
Between users: wipe hot-desks and shared equipment before the next person
Multiple times a day: high-touch common points — door handles, lift buttons, shared printers
Heightened: increase frequency during flu season or an active illness on the floor
Why does workstation sanitising affect more than hygiene?
There's a direct business angle: illness spreads through offices via shared surfaces, and a single sick employee can take out several colleagues through common touchpoints. Routine sanitising measurably reduces that transfer, which means fewer sick days and a healthier team — and it signals to staff and visitors that the workplace is cared for.
