Shared keyboards, mice, phones and meeting room equipment get touched by multiple people throughout the day, yet standard office cleaning routines often focus on desks and floors while equipment itself gets wiped only occasionally, if at all.
Printers, photocopiers and their touchscreens are a particularly common gap, high-traffic points that everyone in an office uses regularly but that rarely make it onto a standard cleaning checklist in the same way visible surfaces do.
Including shared equipment explicitly in a sanitisation schedule, rather than assuming general office cleaning covers it, closes a genuine gap in workplace hygiene that's easy to overlook until it becomes a factor in how illness spreads through a team.
