Another reason to disinfect your keyboard and mouse
After reading a report last year about how keyboards are biologically dirtier than toilet seats, I started wiping down my keyboard, mouse, phone and other devices with alcohol every month. And I advised my computer clients to do the same – no need to bring my biohazards to their offices, or vice-virtue.
Maybe your stuff could use a periodic disinfection, now that Swine Flu is all the rage.
You can use 99% isopropyl alcohol for disinfection – but not that dilute “rubbing alcohol”. You can get 99% isopropyl alcohol in drug stores, paint stores and some supermarkets. Read the label warnings! If you ever had a chemistry set as a kid, you know from your alcohol lamp that it’s highly flammable – and its fumes are not the stuff of life.
Apply with a soft cloth and you too can have an office that smells just like your doctor’s.
