YOUR COMPUTER KEYBOARD CAN MAKE YOU SICK

Think twice before tapping on those keys! Your computer keyboard can, in fact, make you very ill. 8.25% are home to enough bacteria to be potential health hazards. Some keyboards even harbor 500% more germs than a toilet seat. The main cause of this bacteria is the food crumbs that lodge in the spaces between the keys. Dust can allow moisture and allow bacteria to develop and people with colds may cough on the keyboard.

To keep your keyboard clean, unplug the keyboard and shake the crumbs loose. Remove any remaining debris with compressed air or wipe the spaces clean with a small paint or computer brush. You can also wipe the grime off the keys with a rag dampened in water, dry it, then follow that up with an alcohol wipe. Don’t wipe to hard or you can obliterate key markings.
