We must constantly sanitize places with high traffic and also objects that are in normal use.
Restrooms at work are not the dirtiest places in an office. On the contrary, the objects of more continuous use are those that harbor a greater number of germs, such as desks, keyboards, cell phones. But where there may be more danger are door handles, elevator and photocopiers buttons. Since all these are used by the largest number of people.
