I’m not a germaphobe, but I do try to clean my keyboard, mouse and computer monitor at least once every couple of weeks. My main motivation is to keep the keyboard looking white and new, but it turns out I’m also helping to reduce my chances of getting sick. This Tools and Tips article details the importance of keeping a clean keyboard (and why eating lunch at your desk isn’t such a great idea), and offers advice on how to do it in a way that won’t damage the equipment. Head over to NFIB.com for the article—I’m going to grab the Lysol.
