However it is more frequently if there is a bottle of Windex in the same room.

I am one of the people who need to clean the mouse weekly (track ball helped). I clean my key board every month or so. The computer we take outside and wear masks and safety glasses to blow the dust bunnies out every year or two.
Forgot to say when I clean the monitors is when I point to something and the dust falls off.

This survey reminds me of a high school science experiment I did a long time ago. We were tasked with taking cultures of everyday objects and seeing if we could get anything to grow on an agar dish. Our team took swabs from a urinal, car tires, lockers and a teachers keyboard. After two weeks in a warm dark environment, the culture from the teachers keyboard had twice as much 'stuff' growing on it than anything else! The next was the culture from the lockers, then the tires, and the urinal was the cleanest.

Whenever I spill my coffee and it gets into the keyboard.
It's really only a token gesture, making the keyboard comfortable as its keys stop working one-by-one.
Fortunately, I am right-handed, so it only disables the less-important keys, such as those on the keypad and ENTER.

Does turning the keyboard upside down and banging it on the desk count as a clean?
The monitor on the other hand gets a wipe every now and then. I hate people who poke the screen and point out someting, bloody fingerprints on the monitor .

I hate it when the enter key gets all squishy, you just know there is something ugly under there. I usually retire the keyboard about then by declaring it a bio hazard.

I'd retire my keyboard, except it's the best Guitar Hero 3 keyboard ever - Works with all the keys, and good to play!
Granted, I COULD pay $150 for the little guitar, but that's totally besides the point

This is a "standard clean". A "Full service clean" is additional some rubbing with a wet cleenex.
Press F1 for help or google it.

You'd despise me. I'm debugging a touch-screen application on one of these[^].

Yep you should use a pen to interact with the touch screen, and if you are a pen chewer Ihave some tiny halapenos that will cure that.

Yeah, that's what someone should invent--nanotube projections on the monitor so that if you poke the screen, these razor sharp invisible projections make your fingers bleed. Probably the first practical use of nanotubes!

I like it, although I think I will make up a watermark type graphic that can be used as background to controls "Touch me and BLEED", stick on forms and list controls.

If their fingerprints are bloody, maybe you might want to consider freaking out about something other than the monitor.
