Did you know that a keyboard is often a source of bacteria? Especially now that more and more offices are working with flexible workplaces and each time someone else is sitting behind the computer. British research has shown that on average a keyboard contains 400 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. This has been confirmed by a study by Kimberly-Clark Professional. This study showed, among other things, that your workplace is much dirtier than you would think. Samples were examined from thousands of workplaces in different sectors. Most keyboards were found to contain so much bacteria that you can officially call them “dirty”.
