Your mouse is an important part of your PC and can harbour more bacteria than your keyboard so don’t ignore it when cleaning your equipment. Mice do get very dirty, especially when there is contact with the hands and skin so regular cleaning is highly recommended!

Clean the mouse surface thoroughly using general purpose cleaning sachets and wipes

Use wipes that contain an antimicrobial additive which will clean and kill bugs, providing lasting protection from microbial destruction on your mouse surface

Don’t try to clean your mouse whilst your PC is switched on. Make sure the power is switched off so that you know it is safe to clean.
