Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.  Whether it’s in a shared office space….at school…or at home…those computer keyboards and mice can be major carriers of germs and viruses.  But using some common disinfectants on them can sometimes cause damage to the devices.  Kensington is making it easy to determine what is safe and what isn’t by making use of a Wipe Down seal on products such as keyboards, mice, wrist pads and cases.  The company’s Lisa Schuiteboer Shuler..that means they are safe with a variety of sanitizing products..

“And simple things like Clorox Wipes or Lysol disinfectants, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide…all of those things are covered.”

Not all products have the Wipe Down badge…so it pays to check.  There’s more at www.kensington.com.  You can find useful tips on cleaning that work environment as well.
