The cleanliness of the office refrigerator and kitchen (or lack thereof) tends to prompt a lot of comments by employees. Most of us think that it’s “the others” who are the slobs. But just how clean is your desk? According to a University of Arizona study it’s probably pretty disgusting. The study found that the typical desktop had 400X more bacteria than the office toilet seat. Women, who generally were found to have neater and cleaner looking work areas, had 3-4X more bacteria on their desks than men. Researchers attempted to explain the gender difference by noting that women have more close contact with little kids, they keep more food in their desks than men, and lotion and makeup are terrific breeding grounds for bacteria. However, men’s wallets were the prize winner for the most germs of all. Hand sanitizer anyone?
