Computer and cake do a dirty keyboard make!
Long hours and work demands force many of us to dine at our desks but what are the hidden health hazards to breaking bread over the board?
The chief problem is pollution and a build up of bacteria in between the cracks and crevices of your keyboard. A hygiene hotspot research shows our keyboards can harbour up to 70 times as many microbes as the average loo.
So is there a soapy solution?
Incriminating smudges from sticky fingers are easily removed with a little soapy lather and scrub in the tub. Yep now you can unplug and de-grub the evidence thanks to Kensigngton’s fully submergible ‘wash and work’ keyboard. The board has also been treated with a permanent antimicrobial coating to discourage bacteria buildup from dirty digits!
Retailing at $29.95 AU Kensington’s Washable Keyboard is a low cost investment in good health!
Want to give soap a miss try something Swiss….
As an alternative to the dunk and dry solution you could opt for some sticky putty instead. A Swiss invention called Cyber clean is an antimicrobial compound that you roll over the keys and press into the crevices to clean and collect dirt, dust and any crumbs that may have slipped through your thumbs.
The Gumby goo works on most cyber contraptions including phones, printers, calculators, audio equipment, tv’s and for the renaissance loving record collectors it will clean in between the tiny tracks of your favourite vinyl as well.
Retailing at $9.95 AU it comes in either a pop-up cup or convenient carry bag making it easy to keep your home, office and car ‘Cyber Clean’.
