Is your work computer filthy? Here's how to fix it

Your computer might look harmless, but it’s likely hiding a dirty little secret... literally. While it keeps your workday running smoothly, it’s also harbouring a collection of dust, bacteria, and other unspeakable things that can impact your health and productivity.

Think about it: most of us spend 8 hours a day (or more) typing, clicking, and scrolling. That much contact makes your computer a prime suspect in spreading germs and illnesses, not to mention a magnet for gross stuff you’d rather not touch.

What’s Really Hiding in Your Computer?

Aside from the usual dust and smudges, your PC could be playing host to some truly cringe-worthy surprises:

• Dead Bugs: Tiny intruders that couldn’t escape your keyboard crevices.
• Mouse Urine: (Yes, seriously.) If you’ve ever left snacks near your computer, rodents may have paid a visit.
• Dust: Layers of it, clogging your vents and coating your keyboard.
• Dead Cockroaches: Unfortunately, these pests love warm electronics.
• Insect Feces: Because why stop at just dead bugs?

Imagine laying your hands on all this... daily.

The Health Risks of a Dirty PC

Your computer isn’t just gross, it’s a health hazard. Keyboards and mice are high-touch surfaces, making them perfect breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses. In fact, studies have found that keyboards can harbour more bacteria than a toilet seat.

The Risks Include:

• Spreading Germs: A dirty PC can pass illnesses like colds, flu, or even COVID-19 among coworkers.
• Worsening Allergies: Dust and allergens trapped in your computer’s vents can affect air quality and trigger allergies.
• Impacting Productivity: A clean workspace helps you focus, while a grimy computer is just plain distracting (and kind of gross).

Why We Avoid Cleaning Our PCs

Let’s be honest; cleaning your computer isn’t high on your to-do list. Between deadlines, meetings, and other tasks, it’s easy to put it off until you can no longer see the letters on your keyboard.

The truth is, it’s not just about procrastination. Cleaning your computer is tricky:

• Delicate Parts: You can’t just use any cleaning product without risking damage.
• Hard-to-Reach Areas: Dust and debris love hiding in the smallest crevices.
• Time-Consuming: Most of us barely have time to grab lunch, let alone clean our workspace.
