For many people, the first activity of the day circles around their smartphone. People have become so habitual to their phones that it's in their hand from the moment they wake up till the time they go to bed.
A variety of studies and reports over the years have put the average bacteria per square inch on a toilet seat somewhere between 50and almost 300 for household potties and over 1000 for the public varieties
A recent study reveals that smartphones can carry up to ten times more germs than toilet seats and are also referred to as the 'mosquitoes of the digital age.
Like any tool we use every day, our laptops accumulate dust, grime, oils from our skin and who knows what else. Yours is probably due for a cleaning, and here’s how to do it right.
If you’re worried about falling ill this winter, it might be wise to have a desk clean.
New Research has found that your computer or laptop keyboard is 20,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat.
It turns out that your computer keyboard could put a host of potentially harmful bacteria -- including E. coli and staph -- quite literally at your fingertips.
Mobile phones and computer keyboards of healthcare students in the university were found to be contaminated with pathogenic bacterial pathogens. Some of these bacterial pathogens were multidrug resistant. Mobile phones and computer keyboards could serve as a vehicle for transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Therefore, frequent hand hygiene and disinfection of mobile phones and computer keyboard surfaces is encouraged to minimize the spread of bacterial resistant strains.
The main aim of our study was to verify the effectiveness of simple disinfection using wet wipes for reduction of microbial contamination of mobile phones and computer keyboards. Bacteriological swabs were taken before and after disinfection with disinfectant wipes with active ingredients chlorhexidine digluconate and triclosan
