Keeping the iPad Clean I mean biologically clean

After a hard day in use my iPad looks a real mess of fingerprints, gesture streaks of sweat and dead skin cells with a subtle hidden microculture of bacteria.

I do try to clean it once a day using the recommended damp cloth as requested by Apple the manufacturer but it is not easy to do and I am concerned as we move into winter, that this method is not deadly to all known germs.

I wonder if tablet manufacturers have considered the potential of disease spread through the use of these devices or the ease with which we pass it from one individual to another to get a smear of an alternate strain of bacteria from their zooming in?

Will we see in future tablet devices ranking up with escalator and stair handrails as the number one germ containing environments?

Maybe this is the hidden market that I should immediately exploit with my yet to be created tablet manufacturer approved, hygienic tablet wipes (available in 3 fresh fragrances, Spring dew, stale beer (for the real man) and baby powder & poop (for those just starting out).

Any suggestions? No the dishwasher is not an option.

Born in England when black and white TV was a novelty in most homes, I have grown up and dedicated my life to technology.

Came to South Africa in 1970 and completed formal education here.

I have used computer technology all my working life and still am learning more about using it everyday. The speed with which we can now share ideas and information is proof that the dreams and visions I heard in the late 1960's can come true

Maybe you can censor out the brand labels (SevenOne) and they will approve of the video.

dead skin cells

Hi DBS...its been a while! Hows your kids etc etc?

I usually take a wet cloth and wipe the front and back(my kids play with it after they've eaten, their mother believes that they MUST mess with their food as it somehow stimulates some cognitive something) so its dirty afterwards. Then, while the mother does not look, I use he very soft fabric gown and wipe the iPad with it...it works like a charm!

We should catch up

Hi OS
Yes indeed it is good for kids to mess so listen to your head office.
Mine are now 21 and 20 driving cars studying and working and both have shoulder length hair.

We should make a plan to get together.

I can only guess which soft fabric gown you mean but thanks for the info :)

Great idea!!!

Except... as a newbie iPad user, I do NOT approve of the flavour wipes you've dreamed up for those of us who are just starting out!

But yes, I too have realised how messy it gets. Not that I've lifted my paws off it for long enough to really see the extent of my finger smudges, etc., mind... wow, it has been fun playing with this iPad. I don't even care that it's the first generation one. It is very very cool!
