Cyber Clean on The Today Show 1-28-2010
WFMW – Cleaning Your Keyboard
You’ve probably read about the germs on computer keyboards. They can be nasty places, especially if you eat while you type. Cyber Clean is the best way I’ve found to clean a keyboard. Even my computer programmer husband thinks it’s great.
Cyber Clean is a sort of gel or putty. You press it on your keyboard, and when you lift it up, it takes dirt, dust and some germs with it. It starts out green, and there’s an indicator on the side of the container that shows you when it reaches a certain shade of gray-green, the Cyber Clean needs to be replaced.
Air cans blow dust and debris into the air. Cyber Clean absorbs the dirt into itself. It was available at The Container Store during the holidays, and David and I gave it to several people for Christmas.
Cyber Clean works for me!

Cyber Clean: Keyboard Cleaner

Made of a synthetic membrane, the Cyber Clean can be spread over a keyboard, keypad or remote control, pressed in to reach between buttons and then pulled off in one singular piece, bringing with it the dirt and physically removes germs from the surface and between the keys.
Cyber Clean – Something I can Totally Understand!
Sticky Goo
Unlike the KVM adapter, Cyber Clean is something I can understand: it cleans stuff, merely by pressing it onto whatever you want cleaned, then pulling it off again – like Silly Putty can pick up the image from a comic.
You may have seen this “high-tech cleaning compound” advertised on TV; I was intrigued enough by the commercials to wonder if it could help me shake off the years of dust I’ve allowed to accumulate on my stuff ‚Äì so when the maker’s PR people offered me a sample, I jumped.
When I landed again, a little plastic package of Cyber Clean had arrived and I tore it open eagerly, looking forward to a im-press-ive experiment in sticking it to my remote controls, keyboard and other surfaces that grab dirt in the little spaces between the buttons and refuse to let go. My wife thought I was nuts, though that’s becoming a more common reaction the longer we’re together.
Cyber Clean is very easy to use, as long as you don’t mind your fingers feeling and smelling a bit gross for a while. The manufacturer says the smell is minty but if so it’s more like virtual mint coupled with something like Mr. Clean. That isn’t a knock on it; I’d rather it smell like a mint-sing Mr. Clean than have the stuff not work. And it does work, though some of the tasks I had in mind for it were more suitable for an exorcist than for a cleaning product, thanks to years of neglect on my part.
The first thing I used the goop on was the remote control for a CD changer so old I’d forgotten it even had a remote. Needless to say, the device had become about twice its original thickness, thanks to all the dust and crud, but after a quick application of Cyber Clean ‚Äì just stick it on and pull it off again ‚Äì the remote looked brand new.
Next I tried pulling some dried milk stains off a computer keyboard, at which time the Cyber Clean acted like a Tribble near a Klingon. It removed the dust, but the dried milk stayed; it would probably require a good hosing down from a fire hydrant to clean that particular keyboard; easier to just throw it away and get a new one.
The company says this “virtual vacuum” is also ideal for people who want to maintain that new car smell (I assume they’re talking about in their vehicles, not recommending its use as a deodorant). As with consumer electronics, the dirt more often than not builds up in little crevasses, air vents, cup holders or whatever other little nooks and/or crannies are nearly impossible to reach. It worked well when I tried it in my ancient Infiniti Q45.
And if you’re buying into the H1N1 hype, Cyber Clean may be just the panacea you’re been dreaming of. To heck with this hand sanitizer gel stuff that only keeps your paws safe from the evil world around you ‚Äì with Cyber Clean, a teacher can spend otherwise productive prep time pulling all the horrors of life from the classroom’scalculators, or the office worker assigned to water the plants can also make the firm’s telephones safe for human use.
We’re saved!
At least you won’t be just wasting time forwarding email jokes.

Paraphilia: Automobilia My sometimes unhealthy obsession with all things automobile!
« A jack named “Bob” (or how to pick a garage buddy)..I think these are cool!
This stuff is slick!!!
By nutzforautos
I’m just going to say it: Cyber Clean! Go..right now…get some!
You may be scratching your head..what does this have to do with cars. Well, stop when you draw blood but it has a lot to do with another flavor of car sickness: detailing.
That’s right. Sure, a lot of people into cars take their cars to the carwash on a regular basis. Maybe even have it “hand-waxed” at their local “Out in 30 minutes” place. Then there are the lunatics that really go the whole 9 yards.
I used to be one of those guys that couldn’t even go to work unless the car was detailed to the nth degree. Wash, clean undercarriage, clean engine bay, vacuum interior, shampoo carpet, wash exterior again, dust interior, vacuum trunk, brush and treat interior surfaces, leather-treat seats, polish glass, clay exterior, wax exterior, tack-rag interior, wipe-down exterior. The thing that kills you is this a 10 hour job if you are organized.
Now, like most car-nuts, I have the “beater” so I don’t worry about it much.
However, this product is something that got me going, especially when I tested it myself. This is basically a form of putty or goo that lifts dirt and glom from the cracks and crevices of electronic products, without making your hands disgusting.
Again, what does this have to do with cars and detailing? I’ll tell you…
They make a version, “Cyber Clean – Car” and this stuff is the bomb! (gratuitous old-school reference) Seriously, I took this stuff to the interior of the Impala SS…and was amazed! I keep that car pretty damn clean..at least the interior as its my daily driver. This stuff cleaned the vents, the radio buttons, the tiny little slots of all the dashboard pieces. But the coup de grace was the console.
The Impala has the “leaping deer” badge on the console. It’s cool but is a dust and dirt magnet. I’ve tried cotton swaps and softened toothpicks to get that crud out. ONE TIME with Cyber Clean – Car” and its was spotless! Seriously…I would buy it just for this one area! I also used it on the shifter mechanism. The slot cover for the automatic shifter on the Impala console is a series of overlapping plastic plates that works really well and is damn near impossible to keep truly clean. Two passes with the Cyber Clean and …done!
Cyber Clean – Car is a cool blue blob of cleanliness and goodness..and its a cool mint scent. It is reusable and the package is a resealable pot that also includes a color chart to tell you when its absorbed enough dirt and needs to be replaced.
One other thing I really like about it: your hands do NOT get sticky or disgusting. In fact, your hands are very much cleaner than they were when you started!
Need more info: “www.cyberclean.tv” Go check it out! Or if you want to save yourself some time, pick some up at Wal-Mart, AutoZone, or PepBoys.
If you’re in “Bed, Bath and Beyond” do yourself a favor and pick up the yellow Cyber Clean- Home and Office” and clean those disgusting TV remotes..or your Blackberry!!! Trust me..it works..and then some!!
