germ germ germy germs

dudee we are surrounded by germs
i mean everything we touch, we smell, we eat has germs.
there are probably millions of germs crawling on your ipad when it first arrived in the mail. stop worrying about it tooo much and just dont put the fingers in your mouth, try not to lick the ipad, and try to wash your hands often.. eat healthy, sleepy lovely, and that's life!

Alcohol wipes on an oleophobic coating? I hope we don't see you complaining about your damaged screen in a few months.

Where did you read that? I read "Anti-Static/Alcohol Free Electronic Cleaning Wipes".

I use iKlear on all my Apple products, and a ShaggyMac microfiber cloth.

What ever happened to good ol Windex?

Clorox Bleach.

I don't trust anything else to keep my iPad fresh and clean.

Take it to your nearest hospital or clinic and ask if you can use their Autoclave unit for a few minutes.

I don't buy lab equipment, but offhand I would guess Fisher. Its a chamber, about 2 square feet inside with UV lamps.

This should do the trick. Back when I worked in the lab, I had a friend who got ringworm. The easy test for ringworm was to see if it glowed under UV (the fungus gives off a blazing visible light under UV). We used one of these (or something very similar). Of course, everyone wanted to see it, so within an hour she had a nasty sunburn on her arm. Even better, when she went to the doctor for the full on test, all of the ringworm had been killed. True story...

PS- Don't forget to cover your eyes with appropriate goggles or glasses, or the iPad won't be of much use to you....

I am saving my used toilet paper to save the planet. Wiping iPad is one of the ways I use them. Screen gets little hazy but I don't mind.

The only surefire way to disinfect an iPad is boil it in water.

Nuking the site from orbit is the only way to be really sure.

I wet a little bit of my dried out Lysol for my iPod touch. When something feels too sticky/germy, I disinfect it.

I once tried to donate some notebook computers to a childrens hospital. They wouldn't take them because they said they could not disinfect them.

Short wavelength germicidal UV light. Two minutes on each side. Longer if you are dealing with a bacterium that produces spores.

That answer was so clinical you must be in hard science. Full of win fir the win.

we are being allowed to use a UV light machine that is used to sterilize lab equipment

I use my tongue to clean everything I own.

I haven't read it yet, but the recent thread iPad Refresh might have some suggestions.

Lysol makes disinfecting wipes with no bleach or alcohol. They should make sure the are just damp and not soaking in the fluid before use.
