Every day our fingers clatter away on our keyboards, spreading all the germs we've picked up on our travels. It's hardly surprising that 96% of keyboards in one study were contaminated with potentially harmful bacteria, such as E. Coli and the antibiotic-resistant MRSA! But you don’t have to be a commercial cleaner to get rid of these bugs.

Shake your keyboard over a bin to remove any crumbs stuck inside. Use compressed air to clean any remaining crumbs then use a cotton swab to run through the crevices – dip the swab in a cleaning agent. Finally Wipe the keyboard down with an antibacterial wipe or a damp cloth but remember not to make it too wet or else the moisture will affect the keyboard.

Follow similar steps as described for the keyboard, however, remember to remove the batteries before cleaning. If you've got a touchpad on your laptop, be careful not to use too much cleaning liquid, as this can damage the laptop.

Your phone and headset both pass from hand to mouth, meaning any bacteria can easily lead to infections. It also harbours bacteria from your saliva. One study found your mobile has ten times more bacteria than most toilet seats, and you wouldn’t put your face near one of those!

If your phone has a case, remove and set aside (remember to turn your phone off). Only use an antibacterial wipe or a cloth that is not abrasive, wipe down all the sides of your phone, paying close attention to any buttons or ports. Wash phone case thoroughly and set aside to dry.

The same as with your phone screen you need to be careful when cleaning an LCD screen as chemical cleaners and some cleaning cloths can damage them. Instead, use a microfiber cloth with a small amount of diluted soap and water to clean the screen.

For your desk, wipe down with an antibacterial wipes/cloth and cleaning agent. Make sure to remove all the clutter beforehand.
