GreyWhirly Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I'd be wanting some advise from the council e.g. health and safety. Ours said to use DC10 on a microfiber cloth but no indication of how long to use, e.g. one cloth per day / per 10 laptops / per ... What is DC10?
witch Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 We're waiting to see what happens but we're thinking either before/after the user is there ie the morning/afternoon/break or the user steps outside for 10 minutes, If I have to go into a classroom the teacher moves the front row of children wherever they can go safely - this may be out into the corridor. I carefully point out that I am asthmatic and they are all very good

mrstrong Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 https://www.nisbets.co.uk/suma-bac-d10-cleaner-and-sanitiser-5-litre-pack-of-2/cd517 Yes that looks like it. I don't order it in myself, it is provided by our cleaning services.
mikeprice Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 https://www.nisbets.co.uk/suma-bac-d10-cleaner-and-sanitiser-5-litre-pack-of-2/cd517 Does it kill viruses?? Asking because as far as I am aware a lot of the anti-bac things that people are using are actually no use against viruses - they work fine as soap but some of the gels are a waste of time got this from wife's son who works in the local hospital - in theatres - so he should know
jmak Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 The gels* need to contain at least 70% alcohol to kill coronavirus - some anti-bacterial cells don't meet this requirement, but the label should tell you. On using IPA (isopropyl not hops based product [emoji57]), most of the screen manufacturers advise against using it neat due to the risk of damaging the surface. Don't know if that risk is real or just manufacturers being cautious, but I've been mixing mine with de-ionised distilled water for screen cleaner and aloe Vera gel for hand sanitiser. *Gels kept getting autocorrected to Greeks. This post is not about killing Greeks or only relevant to Greek people trying to clean ICT equipment! 1
SteveB_NI Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 We're thinking of putting a packet of antibac wipes at each staff computer. Then for the computer labs, I would like something I can go round at the end of the day and quickly mist spray over the keyboards + mice before leaving to dry overnight. Any idea of available products for that? Would something like https://amzn.to/2YGCkpW in a spray bottle work? Would that leave a sticky residue if left to dry overnight?

stevejp Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 and if the bloke I was talking to a few days ago happens to read this - NO vodka doesn't work - I told you twice the other day ... but it might be fun sampling the vodka - just to make sure...
mikeprice Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 ... but it might be fun sampling the vodka - just to make sure... Nah Whiskey might be worth a try
ITGURU Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 We've 'hidden' keyboards and mice of unused pcs for social distancing so only certain machines are used. wiped down by staff between sessions .
DrCheese Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 We've 'hidden' keyboards and mice of unused pcs for social distancing so only certain machines are used. wiped down by staff between sessions . We did that & put down hazard tape crosses on machines that couldn't be used - Still get asked daily "Can we have the mice/keyboards back" - No! Talk to my colleague in Lecister for why!
