Be Healthy with Cleaner Keyboard
Simple measures like clean hands and keyboards can cut health risks
A study conducted by researchers from Swinburne University of Technology’s Environment and Biotechnology Centre, using simple ethanol-based hand sanitisers and regular cleaning with ethanol wipes can dramatically reduce bacteria on shared computer keyboards.
High use, multiple user internet cafes and computer labs are potential hot spots for harbouring microorganisms and spreading disease. Organisations should be more rigorous in keeping shared equipment clean.
The problem is these easy looking steps are not followed by both organisations and individuals at home.
So make a habit before switching on your computer clean it first.
