There are even more illness-causing germs lingering in your office than in the toilet, suggests scientific research including a landmark study by leading microbiologist Dr. Charles Gerba of the University of Arizona.

On your desk alone, for example, there's a whopping 400 times more bacteria than in the toilet!

"Without cleaning," Dr. Gerba warns, "a small area of your desk or phone can sustain millions of bacteria or viruses that could potentially cause illness."

Viruses, such as those that cause colds and flu, can survive on common office surfaces such as your keyboard, desk and doorknobs for up to 72 hours … so when others come into contact with anything in your office space and they have a cold or the flu, there is a strong chance those viruses will be passed on to you if you don't take proper measures to avoid it.

Meanwhile, even the smallest food and drink spills -- if not properly cleaned -- can become invisible eco-systems for germs that linger and can cause a variety of illnesses.

In fact, a study by Dr. Gerber found that the phone receiver was the most bacteria-infested surface, with 25,000 bacteria per square inch! The desktop followed with a close 21,000 per square inch.

Where Germs Linger
in Your Office

• Your phone (#1 location)
  
  
• Desktop (#2 location)
  
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Door knobs
  
  
• Chairs (where people touch)
  
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Photocopier buttons
  
  
• Fax buttons
  
  
• Elevator buttons
  
  
• Other areas where
  people touch
  
  

By comparison, toilet seats contained only 49 bacteria per square inch, which suggests that, if you want to avoid illness, you are much safer either doing your work on a toilet … or cleaning your office area properly.

1. Cleans All the Way Down to the Microscopic Level: PerfectClean's UltraMicroFiber construction combined with a patented antimicrobial chemistry enables its wipers, towels, & flat mops to reach deep into microscopic crevices and remove everything in its path … that is because at an astonishing 3 microns, the ultramicrofibers are even smaller than most bacteria (each cleaning cloth contains over 300 miles of actual cleaning surface!)
2. Reduces Exposure Danger to You & Your Children: PerfectClean products are completely safe, reducing or even eliminating the need for dangerous chemical cleaners (and eliminating sponges, rags, etc., which are major havens for germs!)
3. Saves You a Lot of Money: You will be able to greatly reduce or eliminate the costs of both chemical cleaners and traditional towels, rags, wipes, sponges and more with PerfectClean, just as commercial hospitality and healthcare companies are doing! You can use PerfectClean towels and wipers dry or dampened only with water because their deep cleaning power is in the ultramicrofiber (some may choose to still use cleaning solutions with it. Though not necessary, if you do, make sure you use considerably less.) Hospitals and other organizations in the commercial industry use each PerfectClean cloth over one hundred times, simply washing them in the wash machine, and you can too! You will SAVE BIG by eliminating paper towels, germ-infested sponges and rags, chemical cleaners and more and using PerfectClean instead.
4. Saves You Time (and Wear and Tear!): Because the PerfectClean focus is on the "tool" - the microscopic cleaning power of the wipes, towels, mop-heads and more, which bind what they pick up to the cloth and never let it go - you don't have to waste your time (and your physical energy) cleaning with numerous different types of cleaners for each type of surface.
5. A Better, More Noticeable "Clean:" In addition to wiping away dangers to you, you'll quickly notice that PerfectClean products simply clean better (because they go down to the microscopic level). That means an aesthetically better appearance on every type of surface, including glass, plastics, ceramic, wood, and more.
   
   

The PerfectClean OfficePure Pack -- ideal for home or work offices -- contains the following seven (7) cloths.
