From a Microbiologist ...
Seth, who was still a microbiology student in Provo, Utah in Episode 137 and let off by a policeman (a fellow fan of DGW) for the failed tail light in his car, has now graduated and is working at a clinical microlab at a hospital. As a microbiologist, Seth comments on the Pocket UV Disinfector (for keyboards) discussed by Leo in Episode 462 (and earlier in Episode 432). UV can definitely kill many harmful microbes, but the best practice for cleaning a keyboard is to use several anti-bacterial tools in conjunction with UV light (or direct sunlight), such as wiping it with a cloth dampened with mild bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
Leo's keyboards are so congealed with fungi and other growths that he prefers putting them through the dishwasher, which he uses for cleaning his rubber shoes as well. Dick is not having dinner at Leo's, unless it's on paper plates.
