Bored waiting for my PTR copy to actually show up on the PTR I decided to go on a cleaning spree. Took a damp cloth and cleaned everything in sight: Mouse, keyboard, external HD, head-set, speakers, then finished the whole thing off by cleaning the desk everything was sitting on and my monitor (with special cloth and spray I got for Christmas and never, ever, ever use.)
Last time I had such an outburst? November last year, right when I first got my new set-up
Thing is I eat and drink at my computer regularly, and though I do not spill ever, stuff seems to get dirty in some way anyway. By the time I went on this cleaning binge my desk and peripherals looked awefull.
So are you a total slob like me, or do you clean your desk area religiously?
Hmm guess you could also be of the laptop toting folk, but then still, they must get even dirtier!

My area is pretty clean, but my keyboard becomes filthy in record time. After about 3 weeks it becomes unusable and i have to take it apart to clean it.

Take it apart?! whoa, never went that far. I use the "hold it up side down and shake" method of cleaning large bits out, and that's about it. Damp cloth for shiny keys again, and done.

My home desk got slowly out of control. I had packages of batteries, empty soda cans, WoW and StarCraft game boxes, loose CDs and CD Cases, and then all kinds of paperwork. When I wrote a check to pay a bill, I'd write "Pd $$ on DATE with CH###" on the bill and then chuck it in a pile on my desk.
Meh. I cleaned it all up last week so I have actual horizontal space again.

Definitly, then again, cats are pretty clean animals, always cleaning themselves, and I'm pretty sure they'd abandon their leisurely place between your board and monitor if it was as dirty as mine (was). :S Originally Posted by RICH1471

It stays pretty spotless. I don't like things cluttering my desk because it's pretty small. So I keep stuff off of it. I take all my dishes out of there as soon as I'm done with them and bottles/cans are thrown away directly after emptying. Can't stand having them around.
