Just in time for the H1N1 season, you should be considering how to clean computer equipment. See these suggestions:
First, keyboards and mice should be disconnected from the computer (or the computer should be turned off). Then wipe them down thoroughly with disinfecting wipes or lint-free cloths or paper towels dampened with isopropyl alcohol, according to various online sources.
Some websites suggest the use of cotton-tipped swabs for cleaning the edges of keyboard keys. They also advise the use of compressed canned air to dislodge dust within keyboards and around keys for more thorough cleaning.
Check computer manufacturers’ websites to see if they have additional care suggestions.
