Cold and flu season puts measurable pressure on every Canary Wharf business. Targeted cleaning won't eliminate sickness, but the evidence is clear that it materially reduces transmission of common respiratory and gastrointestinal viruses.
Touchpoint focus
From October through March, increase touchpoint sanitisation frequency. Door handles, lift buttons, kitchen tap handles, microwave keypads, shared printer touchscreens and meeting room remote controls are the highest-risk surfaces.
Canary Wharf offices with hot-desking should provide desk-wipe stations and make it culturally normal to wipe down on arrival. Small habits compound into measurable absence reductions.
Air and surfaces together
Surface cleaning works best alongside ventilation. Crack windows for 5-10 minutes between meetings where possible, and ensure HVAC filters are on a documented service schedule. Cleaning teams should never plug or block return-air vents during cleaning.
