10 of the dirtiest items festering in the workplace

Water fountains

With getting the recommended eight glasses of water a day often slipping off the radar, it’s handy to have a water fountain in the office. However, 23% of water fountain buttons contain enough bacteria to make you ill. Oh the irony.

Fridges

Let alone what’s lurking within the office fridge (a bout of mouldy, neglected sandwiches) the fridge door harbours enough bacteria to cause serious illness. According to the report, fridge doors have an ATP level of over 300. It’s time to get those marigolds out and go ‘Kim and Aggie’ on that work fridge. No mercy.
