Handsfree Dispenser

     You would not knowingly dip your hands into a bowl of germs.  Yuck!!  Well using a shared keyboard has almost the same effect, your fingers that touch the keyboard are contaminated.  Then whatever you touch with those unclean hands gets contaminated with microbes.

     That old saying “What you don’t see won’t hurt you”, does not apply here.  I read a study that found that there were more germs on a community keyboard than on a toilet seat. Egads!!  Don’t stop typing, there are remidies for the situation.

      First and foremost there are washable keyboards available.  They are immersable so that you can wash them completely. You don’t have to soap them up everyday.  In between washings you can clean the waterproof keyboard with a disinfectant wipe.  This doesn’t get in all those cracks like washing does but will reach the top surfaces.

     With the flu season upon us it pays to invest in a washable keyboard and cut down the sick days at work.
