Stop using the kettle to stop the spread of COVID-19

As we all start to accept ‘the New Normal’ of a world after Covid-19 we all will be expected to adopt new ways of working at our offices, schools and other places of work. High among these considerations is office cleanliness. Is it enough to simply clean surfaces repeatedly or should we take a close look at one item of equipment most offices have that could be a source of  cross infection. That item of equipment is the simple kettle.

Think about it. Everyone in your office will use the same kettle. Around the kettle during breaktimes you and your colleague will share ideas, stories and swap success stories; but could you also be swapping and spreading more than you wished?

If you all use the same kettle there are 7 ‘touch’ points. The Kettle, the water tap to fill the kettle, kettle plug, handling cups, placing the tea bag or coffee from canister into the cup, pouring the hot water, spoon and washing up.

Under the new social distancing rules, such practices are, at least for the foreseeable future, a thing of the past as we embrace ‘the new normal’. So, how do you make hot drinks in your workplace and still maintain the rules surrounding Covid 19?

You can eliminate all the above by using the Flavia 500 Hot drinks machine.  Select one drink filter pack, insert to the Flavia machine and you have hot drinks with 35 seconds.

Simple to use, quick, very hygienic and keeps to the social distancing rules.
