How Are Water Coolers Sanitised?

Most individuals do not ever think of asking that question; in fact many people avoid water coolers because they believe that they are unsanitary and unhygienic, which is unfortunately very true in some cases. Germs and bacteria grow very quickly in damp areas

Office water coolers and those coolers and fountains in high-traffic areas can be very unhygienic because of the amount of people accessing water via them. Bad cleaning methods can also be to blame for unsanitary water coolers.

There are various parts of a water cooler that can become covered in germs just from normal daily use, especially those used by a lot of people constantly like those in public areas of sports complexes and schools.

Office water coolers can also become unhygienic if not cleaned a minimum of once every 6 weeks, or with each water bottle change, whichever comes first, as recommended by Health Officials. Many businesses designate someone to clean the water coolers but this usually gets put on the back burner more often than not for more pressing maintenance work. Even when cleaning is done, it is often ineffectual as it is undertaken by untrained individuals.
