How best to remove mouldy fruit from an office kitchen?

Question

There is some very, very mouldy fruit (or at least, I think it was fruit at some point in its life) in our office kitchen. There is no way I'm touching it with bare hands, how best do I fabricate a device from everyday office supplies in order to remove the offending hairy lumps?

Dahorndog - that's another element of the problem, I'm severely allergic to penicillin.

Annie - yes, we have cleaners; but no, they do not clean. They just eat our chocolate and don't empty our bins.

Answer 1

Find out who your Health and Safety officer is and tell her that it's an H & S risk. She will then have to arrange for the ex-fruit to be removed and you will be the good guy.

Answer 2

Put a plastic bag over your hands inside out pick up the offending items and the turn inside out and throw in a bin a million miles away. It is the same thing dog owners do with the poo .
If no plastic bag what about empting a paper carton pack this will be like a paper bag same thing as plastic.Tape the bottom of the paper carton bag first so it does not become soggy or wet and disintergrate a Blue Peter job by the sounds of it.

Answer 3

Get someone else to do it. Or put plastic wallets on your hands and use a ruler to scrape it into the bin.

Answer 4

if you do not have gloves then take some paper towels or foil, saran wrap and pick it up and put it a plastic bag and tie it up tight and throw away. or you can take the plastic bag from the garbage can and use that as a glove..

Answer 5

Just get a napkin/paper towel from the restroom, grab the fruit and throw it away.
