THE DIRT
Dirty keyboards and PCs are the result of hard working staff. Like your kitchen, which only stays clean if you don't cook in it, your desks should get dirty because they should be used and your staff want to focus on their work and not clearing up after themselves. So there is no shame in these - although they did perhaps leave it a bit too long before calling us in.

So, if you want to see what we see, here are photos taken over the last couple of years. This is way more common than you would think.
Every one of these PCs and telephones looks like new when we had finished, ready to last a good few years more.
Hooray for long lasting plastic. Twice a year minimum will prevent them getting this bad though.

LAPTOPS
Imagine starting a new job and being given this
