toiletAccording to a US study, KEYBOARDS, computer mice and telephone dials are more infested with microbes than toilet seats.

Office workstations should be regularly disinfected since they can on average contain 400 times as many germs as a toilet seat. Telephones harbour up to 25,127 germs a square inch, keyboards 3295 and computer mice 1676. The average office contains 20,961 germs a square inch.

Even more reason to work from home!
