The consequences of not properly cleaning your electronic equipment can be detrimental not only to your equipment but also to yourself and your clients or staff.

Sick Office Syndrome ( SOS ) is a common occurrence in today’s office environment. Even if you love your job the environment you work in can literally make you sick. Sick Office Syndrome is characterised by persistent complaints of irritated and red eyes, headaches, hay fever like symptoms, dry skin and fatigue. Not to mention the spread of contagious disease and germs.

Today, the windows in most buildings don’t open to allow ‘fresh’ air to enter and occupants are forced to breathe air that has been circulated over and through the electronic equipment like computers and monitors. Given the fact that we spend over 90% of our time indoors, this has become an extremely serious concern.

Electronic equipment is warm and usually located in dark areas, which is the perfect environment for disease and germs to breed and dust to settle. Computers and electronic equipment actually work as magnets to dust because of their internal fans and static electricity. When turning on a piece of equipment such as a computer, the cooling fans create a veritable dust storm of minute particles and other debris and disease, which is stirred and pumped into the air, essentially contaminating the environment and the air we breathe. The average person breathes in about 35 pounds of air each day and 5 million dust particles, considering someone who works

on a computer terminal will breathe in 10 times that amount, it’s no wonder that so many office workers have so many sick days.
