Hardly surprising that testing keyboards resulted in high TVC's. Contamination would arise in the first place as a result of improper hand washing. Surely that is a more important message augmented by careful selection of antibacterial washroom products not just cheapest available detergent). Although our firm does have a monthly disinfection of all hand held desk equipment by a professional company, wiping every possible surface a hand may touch to prevent infection is unworkable. I'm also concerned that a toilet seat in the default comparator for these studies. It is probably the most regularly and heavily cleaned surface in a workplace.

Telephones, door handles, hand rails, push buttons for the lift let alone photocopiers and other common equipment or areas all need constant vigilance if transmission of disease by hand.......
If even cruise liners that are cleaner than most peoples homes and a lot cleaner than hospitals can not contain every illness people bring aboard with them then no wonder there are so many sick workplaces.
How many people go to work with just a ' cold ' and a little cough or sneeze then give it to everyone else when we also know how quickly our children spread something through a school......
Going to be easy for that dreaded pandemic when it hits.

So maybe we should allow people to build up some immunity instead of insulating them from life and leaving them vulnerable to the slightest infection. Better a creaking gate than a pine box. You can't second guess viruses anyway, they don't respond to antibioitics, but a mild case of the dreaded pox is often effective against the real thing.
