Stay Healthy this Winter with Antimicrobial Office Supplies

Winter is a season of cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and let’s be honest—a few more sneezes and sniffles than we prefer. Cold and flu season can hit hard, and while we can bundle up and boost our immune systems with extra vitamin C, there’s one thing we might be overlooking: the office. The workplace can be a breeding ground for germs. But fear not—there’s a way to stay healthy and productive all season long: antimicrobial office supplies!

Let’s dive into the difference between standard office supplies and antimicrobial options and highlight some of our top picks for keeping your workspace germ-free and your employees healthy.

Why Choose Antimicrobial Office Supplies?

The benefits to using antimicrobial office supplies are many!

  • Fewer Germs: The primary benefit of antimicrobial products is that they reduce the buildup of bacteria and germs on frequently touched surfaces.
  • Better Health: By using antimicrobial supplies, you’re actively reducing the chances of illness spreading in the office.
  • Longer-Lasting Cleanliness: Many antimicrobial office supplies are treated to last the lifetime of the product, so you don’t have to worry about frequent replacements or extra cleaning.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your office supplies are helping to combat bacteria and germs gives you one less thing to worry about.

Top Antimicrobial Office Supplies from Benjamin

Ready to level up your office hygiene? Here are Benjamin’s top 5 antimicrobial office supplies to help you stay healthier all season long:

1. Pens

It might surprise you just how many hands touch your pens throughout the day—especially if you share your office space. With antimicrobial pens, you can ensure that germs aren’t hitching a ride every time you jot something down.

2. Keyboards and Mice

We spend hours typing away on our keyboards and clicking our mice every day, so why not make sure these high-touch items are working to reduce germs? Our antimicrobial keyboards and mice feature special protection to reduce microbial growth on the surfaces you use most. Looking for ergonomic office products? Benjamin has those too!

3. Notebooks and Folders

We all know that paper products can easily pick up dirt and germs from our hands but antimicrobial notebooks and folders bring an extra layer of defense to the workday. So, whether you are taking notes during a meeting or organizing files, you can feel confident that your materials are cleaner and safer.

4. Calculators

Another common office supply that gets a lot of use are desktop calculators. Keep germs out of the equation for your accountants and sales team members this winter with Benjamin’s selection of antimicrobial calculators.

5. Chair Mats

Your office chair may be the least likely place to think about germs, but the truth is, your chair mat sees a lot of foot traffic and often gets little attention when it comes to cleaning the workspace. Antimicrobial chair mats protect your flooring and your chair from germs while also resisting microbial growth. They’re perfect for those long work sessions where your chair is your second home.

What’s the Difference Between Normal and Antimicrobial Office Supplies?

It is easy to assume that office supplies are, well, just that—basic tools that help us get work done. But the reality is, that many of the items we use daily, like pens, notebooks, keyboards, and even staplers, are prime candidates for harboring harmful bacteria and viruses. Regular office supplies do not offer any protection against germs.

Enter antimicrobial office supplies. These items are designed with antimicrobial additives built directly into the material. This means they work to actively resist the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, and other microbes. While antimicrobial supplies don’t kill germs instantly (you still need to wash your hands regularly!), they help reduce the overall presence of harmful bacteria on surfaces.
