[NON-BUSINESS] cleaning the keyboard and mouse
Do you clean the keyboard and mouse at all,I started doing this on Saturday after seeing a clip online where the guy had some gadget he pointed to his and it showed all the germs on it.

I am some what of a germaphobe, I clean mine at least twice a week with 70% rubbing alcohol. My cellphone too.

Having spilt dozens of drinks etc over my laptop i now use keyboard protectors. Only a few bucks from Amazon and they stop anything getting in or under your keys

My laptop was done in 2020 when I knocked over my cup of coffee on it, now I never place a cup of anything on the desk where my laptop is.

I buy this can of compressed air and blow all the dust and dirt out the surrounds of my keys on my keyboard ever month.A can lasts me 5-6 months.

I find if you get one of these keyboard covers and tape it down round the edges then it effectively seals off the keyboard so nothing can get in. Been doing it for years (replacing every few months) and my keyboard is still like new

I take out my keys and clean underneath them on the keyboard.

It is easier to clean my mouse than the keyboard, but I do both from time to time with a Chlorox wipe
