How often do you clean your monitor(s)? ✨

I've been getting in the habit of doing this at least once a week! And while I'm at it, I'll clean my phone screen too 😄

At home? When they need cleaning, which isn't that often, they just don't get dirty most of the time.

At work? Never because I never have anything to clean them with and never think about bringing something from home, ahah.

When the contents on the monitor become cryptographically secure due to the amount of dirt.

Once a week.
I try to clean the screens, clean my desk and tidy up the "place" every Monday.

Perhaps the more critical question is, "how often do you clean your keyboard?"

It seems like most keyboards I encounter, were one to hold them upside down, tap them, and capture the contents into a cup, and add hot water, one could make a fairly hearty soup.

I am not comfortable with this line of questioning.

I can't stand having a messy monitor, but I also don't have a set schedule. My cleaning kit is always nearby, and I clean as I go.

There's probably nothing that triggers me more in the office than someone touching my screen.

When we were in college, my friend said "Gus, look how dirty your monitor is.. Are you serious that you want to take care of censored (my first love)? You can't even take care of your laptop."

Damn, after that, I clean my laptop immediately after I got home.

When I open it in public and get embarrassed at how dusty it is :D. I never notice it at home for some reason.
