It's crumbs-in-your-keyboard day

It's crumbs-in-your-keyboard day. And because we all rattle on such a thing a few times a day, where crumbs automatically roam around, some frightening and problem-solving know-how about this tool.

What you actually don't want to know...
On your keyboard live 33,000 bacteria. A lot, right? Now comes the worst news: per square centimeter. Goodness, you might as well sit on the toilet seat all day for fun, that's how clean that thing is. There are only 130 per square centimeter.

An active computer nerd uses the space bar 669 times per hour, and that makes it the king of dirt on your trusty companion. After that wreck, comes the ‘E’ and then we are done improving, because there is the backspace.

What might be lurking in the depths of your laptop? Sweat, ugh. Skin flakes, yuck. Earwax, yikes. And things from the nose, come on, people. We conclude with specimens that are found under the nails.

How you solve it or sort of...
You can opt for a keyboard vacuum cleaner (yes, that exists), go at it with a post-it to ensure you don't push food scraps under the keys (prevention is better than cure) or just follow these three simple tips:

Wash your hands more often with soap, with those from & Other Stories you keep washing, so nice.
Clean your desk with disinfectant and pass the supplies to your colleague right away. Don't eat behind your computer, but just enjoy together.

Something with a child can do the laundry. And if you find all this too much hassle, I recommend you turn your keyboard upside down at least once a week and shake it very. hard. Happy crumbs-in-your-keyboard day everyone.
