I think I did my first informercial….

A few months ago I heard about this product. Andy McCaskey talked about it on a holiday wish-list. Well little did he know that we were going to get not only a first hand look at this stuff that looks like Silly- Putty, but also do an interview for the product.

The product is called Cyber Clean. It’s a innovative way to clean the crud off the computer keyboard, mouse and even ports on a laptop like a USB port. The gelatinous substance gets in the cracks and crevices and takes the dirt, dust, hair and other particles off your devices. It can be used many times, but it will tell you when it’s time to change when the color goes from a bright neon to a dark green.

Jeffrey Powers talks with Allen about this interesting product. Kara Karsten volunteers her Macbook to be the guinea pig for the video. They come in two flavors – Home / Office and Automotive. Allen also mentions Cyber Clean is great for getting pet hair out of corners or even duct vents.

*NOTE* There are some that think Swine Flu comes from contact with pigs. The virus – H1N1 – has nothing to do with animals. It is a form of influenza that is circulating. Other variants in the past: Russian Flu (H2N2) Spanish Flu and bird Flu (H5N1).

It’s a fact – you have more germs on your computer keyboard and mouse than on your household toilet. We’re talking thousands of germs as oppose to only a few from a toilet. So when it comes to Swine Flu, do we have to worry about cleaning these items?

It is spring cleaning for me anyway – I reorganize and take care of items that I don’t normally touch on a weekly basis. Of course, with planning on moving, that also adds to the fun.

I keep my keyboard pretty clean. A can of air to blast out any dust, food or other items that get in between the keys. A handi-wipe to take care of the surface of the items – especially when I see dirt buildup on the devices.
