Many of us work in an office or industry where we have to use a computer. Often there are multiple users on that computer or computers. Each person contributes his or her own microbes that are present on their hands. At times these microbes are disease-causing germs. Colds and flus can be spread in this manner. Bacteria like e.coli are a threat when people who use the restroom omit handwashing and then type on the keyboard. Sickdays taken by workers can be expensive so preventing illness should be a motivating factor.

One method of doing this is to provide waterproof keyboards in the workplace. These keyboards can be washed with solutions or disinfected with wipes. Some can even be washed in the dishwasher. Disinfectant wipes can clean the keyboards between users and a thorough washing or disinfectant solution can be used at the end of the workday.
