If your business uses touch screens, whether it's to take a food order, conduct inventory, or ring up food items at a cash register, it's essential that these screens are effectively cleaned daily. These screens deal with numerous people touching them. Effective cleaning can reduce the risk of spreading germs and bacteria. Common touchscreens include:
