Office Cleaning & Keeping Germs out of your Workplace!


Your office workplace has a tremendous amount of germs whether in your home or outside.  Studies have shown that office phones have over 25,000 germs per square inch; your computer mouse has over 1500 germs per square inch and over 3000 germs on your keyboard.  Typically these are overlooked by cleaning companies and go without cleaning.  Consider a cleaning chemical of choice to keep on your desktop to clean these areas daily before leaving work to stay healthy!

How to Restore a Dead External Hard Drive

Dead External H ard Drive? If you can no longer read data on an external hard drive, all of your files may not be lost. The surprising secret to get access to your data (at least for the time necessary to extract it) is temperature. An old external hard drive that no longer can be read can often be resurrected by freezing it. Put it in the freezer overnight inside a Ziploc bag, then plug it back in in the morning. This may get the drive to work for a few hours or longer so you can access your data. Repeat as necessary, but only use this method as a back up plan. Backing up your files is a very important habit to keep up with.
