Mouses, keyboards, laptops, mobile phones, pads, all belong on a table. As we used to read in paper format, during a meal, we now use them. Rather than removing them, instead make them easier to clean. Not that food is the only source of dirt and bacteria, they get extra dirty because we spend the most time in contact with them. I would love to wash my keyboard, mouse, and pad, in a sink.
- dorfsmay 11y agoYou can wash a keyboard and mouse in a dishwasher. Lots of site out there describing that. Seen colleagues doing after a coffee spill. You just have to make sure the heat is off, and give them days to dry off. Laptops are problematic because of batteries inside that are difficult to remove, and that we don't want to be deprived of our laptops for several days.
- adrae5df 11y agoMy argument was that you cannot clean that specific hardware like you clean your table and cutlery. It is simply not convenient. I don't see how you can wash a laptop under any circumstance, apart from a complete disassembly.

- StavrosK 11y agoCan you recommend a site for washing keyboards? Mine needs a thorough cleaning, but I'm worried that my mechanical springs will rust.

- rogerbinns 11y agoLenovo Thinkpads have drain holes as part of the keyboard and chassis design. Liquids should travel straight through the machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7cvi00OZDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7cvi00OZDM They don't warrant the machine will survive, but at least the design makes a good effort.
