Using the toilet rag to clean your keyboard? Umm, yeah…it really happens. More often than we like to think about.
Lucky for you, there’s a quick way to tell whether this might be happening without installing surveillance cameras or following the cleaners around at night like a creep.
Next time you have a chance, take a peek inside the janitorial or cleaning supply closet. What color are the rags? (Yes, this really is important.)
Any professional cleaning service should use four colors:
- RED rags are for toilets only
- YELLOW is for everywhere else in the restrooms
- BLUE is for glass
- GREEN is for the rest of the office
If you open the closet only to find a bunch of rags all in one color – or just white rags – chances are the toilet rag has crossed paths with your desk, your office door handles, or your mouse at some point.
Without a color-coded system, there’s absolutely no way to tell which rags have been used for which purposes.
Sorry to ruin your day, folks. But, hey, at least now you know.
