Office Phone vs. Elevator Button: Which is Dirtier? (The Answer Will Shock You!) | SonRock Cleaning Service

Think your office is clean? Think again! Some of the germiest hotspots in your workplace might surprise you. Let’s settle the debate:

Which harbors more bacteria?

✅ A) Office Phone

❌ B) Elevator Button

The Answer? Your office phone is a bacteria breeding ground!

The Shocking Truth About Office Phones

🔬 Fun Fact: Your office phone is 10x dirtier than a toilet seat—and you press it against your face daily! 😱

Why?

• Constant hand-to-face contact transfers oils, sweat, and germs

• Rarely cleaned compared to other office surfaces

• Warm electronics create the perfect environment for bacteria growth

Meanwhile, elevator buttons get cleaned more often (and are usually touched with fingers, not faces!).

How to Keep Your Office Phone Clean & Safe

Don’t panic—here’s a simple, effective cleaning tip:

🧼 Wipe it down daily with:

✔ Microfiber cloth (traps germs instead of spreading them)

✔ 70% isopropyl alcohol (kills germs without damaging electronics)

Pro Tip: Keep disinfecting wipes near shared phones for quick cleanings!

Beyond Phones: Other Hidden Office Germ Zones

While you’re at it, don’t forget to regularly clean:

• Keyboards & mice (3x dirtier than a toilet seat!)

• Desk surfaces (bacteria central from food, hands, and dust)

• Office kitchen sponges (can contain E. coli and mold)
