Office Counters

It might seem laughable, but offices—medical offices, in particular—are rife with germs and viruses. Every day, there is an endless stream of people coming up to the reception counter and putting their hands on the surface after touching their face or their phone or something else. It was found that the pen at a doctor’s office has more germs than a toilet seat. Over 46,000 more germs, to be exact.

The waiting room arm rest, the door handle leading into the office, and even the magazines are all surfaces that often go uncleaned for months. For your health and wellness, visit the washroom to thoroughly wash your hands.
