Don’t let the gooey substance of Cyber Clean turn you off. Going to classes means you are going to be surrounded by germs, whether it’s at the computer labs or passing around your phone to a classmate, you need to make sure that your gadgets remain sanitary. That is where Cyber Clean comes in handy. It’s a cleaning compound that molds around your gadgets and manages to clean inside of of those difficult to reach places.
A beard and a computer keyboard. Two things you wouldn’t necessarily put together, unless you’re a member of ZZ Top answering fan emails. Then comes the fateful day you attempt to spring clean your desk and find enough facial hair to choke a badger snugly nestled in between your QWERTY keys. And they’re not alone.
Think back to the last time you washed your hands after using your keyboard. You never have, have you? Neither have we. Yet apparently they store more bacteria than a public toilet seat. Which is nice. Then, sludging its way over the horizon, you see a blob of aggressively yellow quivering goo inching its way towards you. Should you run? Walk? Call Steve McQueen? Have no fear, Cyber Clean is here.
This bright and perky little Flubber lookalike manages to squidge its way into the gaps of your computer keyboard instantly killing germs on contact and defluffifying the device like only a blob of goo can. No sticky residue to damage your precious electrical gadgets and no nasty bacteria either. Not only that, but it can be used with a host of other devices that gather fingerprints and bacteria. We had a great time making sure the office collection of mobile phones, MP3 Players and remote controls were completely free of crumbs and germs. Our photographer even managed to remove a particularly ancient piece of fluff from around his cameras zoom button, but he drew the line at using it to clean the lens. You just splodge it on to the gadget you want de-scummed, give it a good press and then peel it off. It even has a colour changing system to alert you when it is time to buy a new one. The bods who created Cyber Clean thought of everything, including a nice lemony scent to make your clean new gadget smell fresh and wonderful. Now stick it to those dirty germs.

Time and time again, surveys are conducted, and time and time again, the same results come up: when you ask someone what the most germ filled place is they come into contact with is, they always say it’s the toilet seat or the bathroom. Turns out, that’s usually one of the cleanest. The actually worst place is the keyboard you’re touching right now. Luckily, you can clean your keyboard with Cyber Clean, an antibacterial play-doh-like gel-like membrane. Actually, it’s really hard to describe, but the pictures do it much more justice. 
It makes sense how keyboards are so disgusting if you think about it. Our hands touch everything we come into contact with, and we handle our keyboards more on a daily basis than anything else. People often eat at their desks, and those crumbs are like little bacteria factories. All those crevices that are impossible to clean lead to uncontrolled bacterial growth, and often times, the spread of disease.

With back to school and the flu season approaching, not to mention the constant reminders how swine flu is going to kill us all, it’s important to arm yourself with the tools that can help you stay well. Cyber Clean is an anti-bacterial, gel-like membrane that molds and conforms itself to the shapes you press it into. In doing so it can clean and disinfect hard to reach places, like those spaces between your keys, behind air vents where dirt and dust particles can harbor germs, and all those ridges on your cell phones and electronics.
Cyber Clean is safe, non-toxic, biodegradable, and supposedly reusable up to 75 times, plus you can get the kids in on the fun too. Cyber Clean is available at most stores and drug stores, and retails for less than $10. We hope to get our hands on some soon and put it to the test in our lab and let you know how it holds up.
I am a little bit of a germaphobe and dirty phone mouth and ear pieces, grimy computer key boards, and sticky TV remote controls have always grossed me out.  The problem is that using a traditional liquid cleanser or disinfectant risks ruining the phone, computer, remote, whatever . . . electronic equipment and liquid don’t mix.
When I first learned about this new cleaning/disinfecting membrane called Cyber Clean, I knew I had to try it.  Cyber Clean is an anti-bacterial, gel-like membrane that absorbs dirt particles in hard to reach places like between the keys of a computer keyboard. I have always used canned air for such purposes, but then you get all of these little crumbs and peices of dirt flying all over your desk . . . also gross.  Cyber Clean is like the consistency of the “slime” you might remember that became commercially available after the movie “Ghostbusters” was popular.  If you don’t remember, imagine a moist, malleable membrane–it’s a little like clay or Play-Doh, but not, because it doesn’t break apart.  Anyway, what I like about Cyber Clean is that you can mold it into such tight spaces as telephone mouth peices and car air conditioning vents–once you’ve got the membrane worked into all the small crevices, you just pull the Cyber Clean away, and voila, the dirt comes with it.
The product has a neutral pH balance of 7, is safe and non- toxic, has preservatives built inside that disinfect while it cleans, can be used up to 75 times, and it’s biodegradable. To learn more, or to find out where to purchase visit cyberclean.tv.

CyberClean, Swiss Compound, Cleans Up Office “Staph” and Solves Keyboard “Grime Scene”
The keyboard is well-known to hold more germs than your toilet seat. Hey, don’t blame us for this info. In 2004, a researcher at University of Arizona found desks can support 10 million bacteria and the average office contains 20,961 germs per square inch. Keyboards averaged at 3295 per square inch and computer mice 1676. The toilet seat only averaged only 49 germs per square inch.
Which? ( a consumer association) in UK commissioned a microbiologist to test more than 30 keyboards in its offices. Compared to toilet seats and toilet door handles, one keyboard was 5X filthier. One keyboard held 150X over the level of acceptable bacteria and two other keyboards were found to contain Staph germs.
And now the filthy nature of keyboards is legend. You can catch diarrhea, menningitis, flu and other nasty stuff from your high tech office. Yet only 22% of workers clean their keyboards monthly (and 10% confess they have never, ever thought about cleaning their keyboards.)
And one reason why people don’t clean their keyboards is…well, it’s awkward to clean. The real bad stuff is in the cracks of the keypads.
At CeBIT, we¬†found an easier to solve your customer‚Äôs keyboard “grime scene.” CyberClean was shown on the stand of Joker AG from Switzerland. CyberClean boasts ‚ÄúSwiss Formula Patented Cleaning Action,” a high-tech cleaning compound that cleans and kills germs from between those cavities and crevasses found on keyboards and other hard-to-clean surfaces.
But they can’t fool us: this stuff is the adult equivalent of the Silly Putty we used as kids, You remember, that alien glob stuff that seemed to have a life of its own. You could stretch it, stick it, mould it, shove it into any crevice…it even copied images off newspapers. It entertained us for weeks…before it ran out of possibilities to amuse.
Invented by a GE engineer, this brand of plastic putty sold more than 300 million egg-shape container in a career that has lasted more than 50 years. It went on to inspire other makers of “Putty Slime”. We even saw a Belgium journalist refer to it graphically as “Smurfensnot.”
In an age requiring green technology, somebody had the presence of mind to radicalize the Silly Putty concept and harness its absorbing characteristics. CyberClean is a Hulk-like yellow-green, fluorescent in color, and you smush it into the keyboard. (I don’t care what Spell Check says, “smush” is halfway between “mashing” and “squashing” which is how we as kids described what we did with Silly Putty.)
You press it in, no rubbing. According to the makers, it has a one-way membrane-effect that sucks up dirt and germs. The CyberClean compound traps the germs. Like Silly Putty, it doesn’t leave residue. But it does wear out. It comes in a re-sealable click-strip pack (other alternatives available) and when its fluorescence fades, it’s time to buy a new one.
What you are going to like about this product (besides the fact that it is unique and attracts customers’ attention) is that Joker is retail-oriented merchandiser. The product comes in shelf strips, re-sealable bags, countertop displays, pots with pop-up lids, maxi pots, and practically every available retail format. There are metal display racks, trial packs, planograms, and other POS material, including in-store DVDs, wobblers, and leaflets.
Joker tells us sell-through units track at 7-40+ sales per day. Of course, that must vary according to your type of store and traffic but the fact that they are counting puts the ahead of those vendors that won’t clean up at retail…
Now before we leave this subject of cleaning up, we must inform you there is a high tech product even filthier than your customer’s keyboard.
The office telephone (don’t even think about hotel room phones) runs with an average 25,127 germs per square inch. Cellphones are even worse. The heat of the mobile phone combined with the germs from faces and hands create prime bacterial breeding ground.
The same researcher from Arizona once tested 10 phones from “Good Morning America” cast and crew. The cellphone used by the soundman on the TV show tested between 10 and 50 million bacteria. The researcher was quoted as saying, ‚ÄúIf there is ever a new life form on this planet, it will be on this phone.”
No need to worry about life forms on your cellphone: CyberClean works on phones, too.
