We just swill ours with Harpic and give it a scrub with a stiff brush.

Use Domestos, it kills 99.9% of household germans. Although I have to say it still worries me what the other .1% get up to. :blink:

These adverts that claim to kill 99.9% of germs amuse me. Isn't it time someone invented one that kills 100%? If germs breed as fast as is claimed, the whole area is grossly infested again in a few hours. The answer is NOT to eat at the computer. I only drink tea, NO FOOD.B)

I think the problem with the germ kill numbers is down to the fact that germs are not noted for their numeracy. In fact some can only count up to 10, and as far as working out percentages, standard deviations, upper and lower quartiles (and even Students T) they are totally lost. Some of them get headache and just lie down for a rest and then another comes along and counts them amongst the dead, so the numbers can be total rubbish.

I don't do either anywhere near my computer. The kitchen is for eating. The lounge is for the odd cup of tea and the study is for computing. :P
