Keyboards Don't Have To Be Germ Sources

According to the BBC News, workplaces harbor nearly 400 times as many microbes than lavatories. Sounds shocking, but true. Keyboards are big offenders because they hardly ever
are cleaned let alone disinfected. Cold and flu viruses can survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours. Foodspillls and various crumbs can support mini eco-systems of bacteria on keyboards.
Often there is more than one user/worker on a keyboard. This promotes cross-contamination that can transfer germs that cause illness. This can be expensive when it leads to employee sick days. Office equiptment can be regularily disinfected to prevent this spread of microbes. Disinfectant wipes and washable keyboards are available.
