Is Your Office Making You Sick? The Hidden Bacteria in Shared Spaces

You’re not imagining it. The office really can make you sick.

If you’ve ever noticed you catch more colds or feel run down when you’re back in the office, you’re not alone. Studies show that shared workspaces are one of the biggest hotspots for germs and bacteria — often more contaminated than public restrooms.

And while traditional cleaning can keep things looking tidy, it doesn’t always eliminate what’s invisible: airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold spores that spread illness and odor through shared air and surfaces.

That’s where Breezy Pro’s Aerosolized Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP) treatments come in — a smarter, safer way to sanitize the spaces where people spend their days.

Where office germs really hide

Even the cleanest-looking office can harbor microscopic contaminants. Think about how many people touch these items every day:

  • Keyboards and mice – often home to three times more bacteria than a toilet seat.

  • Phones and headsets – warm surfaces where moisture and skin oils let bacteria thrive.

  • Shared coffee stations and breakrooms – perfect breeding grounds for mold and odors.

  • Doorknobs, light switches, and elevator buttons – touched hundreds of times daily.

  • HVAC vents and air ducts – where bacteria and mold spores circulate unnoticed.

Wiping surfaces helps, but bacteria multiply fast. Within just a few hours, a single contaminated surface can spread pathogens across an entire office.

Why traditional cleaning isn’t enough

Traditional janitorial cleaning focuses on what you can see — trash, dust, smudges, and spills. It’s a necessary first step, but it doesn’t address airborne germs or the microscopic colonies that develop on and between surfaces.

Even disinfectant wipes only clean where they physically touch. In an open office, that leaves a lot of gaps — and the bacteria quickly recolonize.

That’s why so many offices experience the dreaded “cycle” — someone gets sick, then half the staff is coughing by next week.

How Breezy Pro breaks the cycle

Our Aerosolized Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP) treatment fills your entire workspace with a fine, dry mist that kills pathogens in the air and on surfaces — including the ones you can’t reach with a rag or spray bottle.

Here’s how it works:

  1. The mist spreads through the air and over every surface evenly.

  2. The hydrogen peroxide micro-droplets attack germs, bacteria, and viruses at the molecular level.

  3. Within minutes, the mist breaks down into harmless oxygen and water vapor — leaving no residue or odor.

It’s fast, effective, and completely safe once the treatment settles. You get a workspace that’s not just clean, but truly sanitized.

The results you can feel (and breathe)

After a Breezy Pro treatment, offices often notice:

  • Fewer odors from shared kitchens, bathrooms, or carpeted areas.

  • Cleaner air quality, with less dust and fewer allergens.

  • Reduced absenteeism, since fewer germs are circulating.

  • Peace of mind, knowing your workplace is as safe as it looks.

It’s a simple, science-backed way to promote employee wellness — and show that you care about the health of your team.

Who benefits most

AHP fogging is ideal for:

  • Fitness centers and spas
