It all starts with personal hygiene and keeping your hands clean ('good hygiene is in your hands' - link). In addition, our hands are in contact with alot of public surfaces and IT equipment such as ATM's, computer keyboards, mice, printers and shared photocopiers in most offices generally speaking. Bacteria and viruses can survive on these common surfaces long after they have been infected. It is no wonder the common flu can spread so quickly within an office. Pick a good good cleaner to remove germs! A good cleaning professional approaches IT hygiene a similar way a hospital would sanitising and cleaning telephones and IT equipment such as keyboards.
