Here's to My Germaphobic Tendencies...

"Nobody cleans the desktop, usually, until they stick to it."

-- Charles Gerba, amicrobiologist and clean water expert at the University of Arizona, reminds office drones that the average desk harbors 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat. (Gerba also uttered the immortal quote, "Never fear a doorknob.")

I dunno about that doorknob comment...

i buy the 5 pack of clorox wipes and keep it almost everywhere.. used to have it in my desk at my office job, but at home - bathroom, kitchen, living room, room, etc.. i love those things! so convenient..and when i see some dust or dirt, just pull out a wipe and wipe.. ;)

OMG, yeah...anyone will tell you, I NEVER touch door handles. That's when chivalry comes in handy... but yeah, wipes work too. ;)
