Women have the dirtiest offices

Posted on Feb 20th 2007 8:19AM by Rigel Celeste

The Clorox Company recently funded a survey on office germs, and apparently women have dirtier offices than men. And not by a little either -- women's desks and work areas are about twice as germy as their male coworkers.

The study included swabs of all kinds of locations, but mold and yeast were found most commonly in the bottom of desk drawers (where people stash their afternoon snacks), and on phones, desktops, and computer mouses (mice?).

As ashamed as I am to admit it, I guess I'm not that surprised because it does seem like women snack a lot more at the office than men. But there is one saving grace to this whole thing: even though women came with the germiest workspace, what tested out as the single germiest item of all? Men's wallets.
