I clean my keyboard every Monday,even the telephone and desktop.After a week's work,the keyboard and other toos are dirty enough,then I would use ethanol to clean them.This work is a little troublesome but it does good to your health.Tomorrow is Monday and I will clean them again.lol

I got a protector for my keyboard,so it aren't necessary to clean them,since the dust can't get into it.

Haha, not me. I can't remember the last time I cleaned my keyboard. I use a laptop so my keyboard is smaller than the desktop keyboards. But But I do agree that the keyboard should be cleaned often. I'm glad you brought this up, this reminds me to start to discipline myself to clean my keyboard more often. If I do clean it, I will wipe the surface of the keys with wet cloth and sometimes I also vacuum it, using low power obviously, to get rid of all those small objects that are stuck under the keys.

I do not clean my keyboard weekly. i don't even clean it ever. The keys are all faded and need replacement. I will keep on using this for as long as it still works. The others do not like to use my computer because my keyboard is faded. Cheers!!

That's a great habit because you're right--your desk (and all the equipment on it) does collect a lot a dust and debris (and thus, germs) throughout the week. With that said, this post is motivation for me to begin cleaning my desk more often. I actually only do it about once a month (or whenever it crosses my mind). It's amazing that I haven't gotten sick from it yet. :)
